Entraîneur ROS Menton - M. JEAN PIERRE LAMOUROUX














M. JEAN PIERRE LAMOUROUX

Entraîneur


Interviewé par Augustin Priam


(A) - Pourquoi avez-vous choisi d’être entraîneur ?

(M. LAMOUROUX) - J’ai été joueur pendant des années. J’ai voulu passer le cap entre joueur – entraineur pour pouvoir transmettre ce que j’ai appris par moi-même.

(A) - Il y a 24 ans vous êtes déjà venu ici à Dallas pour participer à la Dallas Cup.

(M. LAMOUROUX) - Oui, il y a 24 ans je suis venu à la Dallas Cup et j’étais déjà entraineur avec un groupe plus âgé. J’étais très jeune, j’avais 26 ans.

(A) - Pourquoi n’êtes-vous pas revenu après ?

(M. LAMOUROUX) - Je ne suis pas revenu parce que financièrement c’est très lourd. Pour nous cette année c’est quand même un budget de 22 mille euros… donc c’est très lourd. Et donc on n’est pas revenu parce que faire cette coupe peu de temps après, financièrement, on ne peut pas.

(A) - Et pourquoi êtes-vous revenu cette année ?

(M. LAMOUROUX) - Je suis revenu cette année car j’ai un groupe de jeunes très sensibles et si vous voulez, l’année dernière je les ai pris en milieux de saison donc le président ma demandé si je voulais les reprendre. J’ai gardé ce groupe et on s’est sauvé (dans la division) et ils voulaient tous faire un tournoi. Et comme la majorité n’a jamais fait de tournoi, avec un peu de piment intéressant, un jour à la maison je triais des photos et je suis retombé sur les photos de Dallas et je me suis dit : « pourquoi pas revivre l’expérience ? » Donc, avec mon dirigeant M. Marco, à qui je tire un grand coup de chapeau, on a lancé le projet.

(A) - Comment fait-on pour être accepté dans la coupe ?

(M. LAMOUROUX) - Il y a un droit d’inscription, mais c’est surtout sur invitation. Il y a beaucoup d’équipes qui veulent le faire et comme nous l’avions déjà fait il y a 24 ans et que ça s’était très bien passé, et aussi du fait qu’ il y a quand même 13 ans qu’une équipe française n’est pas venu, je pense donc que c’était plus facile pour nous de se faire accepter. Et je pense que pour eux c’est aussi intéressant d’avoir une équipe qui vient de France.

(A) - Comment choisissez-vous les joueurs qui sont dans votre équipe ?

(M. LAMOUROUX) - En début de saison j’avais 26 joueurs. S’entraîner à 26 sur un terrain où je suis tout seul, c’est impossible. C'est-à-dire, c’est possible mais en faisant mal les choses. Alors, avec l’accord du dirigeant M. Marco, j’ai réduit l’équipe à 18 joueurs pour faire la saison. Et donc automatiquement certains ont abandonné avant, et d’autres malheureusement, j’ai dû les éliminer à cause de leur mentalité d’abord, pour moi c’est le plus important, et ensuite par rapport à leur qualité de travail.

(A) - Quels sont vos buts pendant la coupe ?

(M. LAMOUROUX) - D’abord d’être représentatif du football français, c’est pour ça aussi qu’on est là, et de faire le meilleur parcours possible. Maintenant tout dépendra des adversaires et puis de nous aussi. Mais le but c’est d’être à la hauteur de l’événement, à la hauteur culturelle de se qu’on va vivre, et au niveau football parce qu’ils vont jouer contre des mexicains, des texans, et une équipe du Vermont. Donc pour eux (les joueurs) c’est autre chose.

(A) - Comment se préparent les joueurs mentalement et physiquement ?

(M. LAMOUROUX) - Physiquement on s’entraîne trois fois par semaine : le lundi - un entraînement tranquille, le mardi on fait plus une séance physique, et le jeudi soir on fait plus de travail technique devant le but avec le gardien. Mentalement, ça dépend de leur état à la maison, à l’école, et avec la copine aussi.


Frankfurt schlägt US- Nationalteam





Marcos Alavarez

Till Kuchenbecker


Am dritten und letzten Gruppenspieltag der Qualifikationsgruppe D konnte sich Eintracht Frankfurt gegen die US-Auswahl der Jahrgänge '91 und '92 mit 1:0 durchsetzen.

Vor mehreren hundert Zuschauern im Pizza Hut Park Stadium begannen die Frankfurter mit dem Anstoss um 18:30. In den Anfangsminuten gingen die Amerikaner mit viel Druck und Einsatz zu Werke, besonders die amerikanischen Stürmer gingen mit viel Schwung in die Partie, während sie anfangs doch deutlich zu hoch zielten.
In der 7. Minute hatte dann auch die Eintracht eine erste Chance, Nationalstürmer Cenk Tosun schoss jedoch rechts vorbei.
Es entwickelte sich ein gutes Spiel mit Torchancen auf beiden Seiten, wobei Frankfurts 11, Björn Schnitzer, zwei Mal die Latte traf, einmal mit einem 35m Freistoß und einmal aus kürzerer Distanz mit einem Flatterball.
In den nächsten Minuten hatten die amerikanischen Stürmer kein Glück, als sie mehrmals schneller als die deutschen Verteidiger waren, alle Bälle gingen übers Tor.
Auch nach Standardsituationen gab es für die US-Auswahl nichts zu holen, weder nach der Ecke (30.) oder Freistößen von der Torauslinie (34.) konnten die Kopfbälle ihren Weg ins Tor finden.
In der 37. startete Marcos Alvarez, der die US-Abwehr immer wieder vor Probleme stellte, einen schönen Lauf und war schneller als die umgebenden Gegenspieler, konnte letztendlich aber doch am Schuss gehindert werden.
8 Minuten später, genau vor der Pause, sorgte Frankfurts Alvarez erneut für Verwirrung im Strafraum, der Ball kam zu Cenk Tosun, der beim ersten Versuch noch geblockt wurde, den Ball jedoch behielt, einen Haken schlug und dann den Ball zum 1:0 für Frankfurt in die Maschen schoss.
Eine Minute und eine Gelbe Karte für Frankfurt später (Stefano Cincotta) wurde zur Halbzeit abgepfiffen.
Nach Wiederanpfiff der Partie setzte die Eintracht dort fort, wo sie aufgehört hatte- mit dem Kontrollieren des Spiels.
Es dauerte jedoch bis zur 52. Minute, bis die erste gute Chance nach sehenswertem Hackenpass von Tosun auf Alvarez zustande kam, allerdings ging der Schuss knapp einen Meter über das Tor. 3 Minuten später hatte die US-Verteidigung aber gelernt und fing den Hackenpass von Tosun ab.
Die wenigen Chancen, die das Mittelfeld und der Sturm der amerikanischen Auswahl produzierte, waren allesamt nicht zwingend und wurden zu ungenau abgeschlossen.
In der 61. Spielminute konnte sich auch Frankfurts Khaled Mesfin auszeichnen, als er nach einem schönen Spielzug nur das Außennetz traf.
Auch wenn die US-Boys nun begannen, Druck auf das Frankfurter Tor aufzubauen, war es doch eine schnelle Kombination der Eintracht, die die Deutschen dem 2:0 näher brachte als die Amerikaner dem Ausgleich.
Die Drangphase der USA blieb konstant und Alvarez und besonders der defensive Linksaußen Stefano Cincotta konnten sich mit starkem Einsatz und großem Laufpensum hervortun.
Es dauerte bis zur 74. Minute, bis sich den Amerikanern eine wirklich große Chance zum Ausgleich bot: ein Freistoß aus 17m Torentfernung. Allerdings konnte Torwart Muratagic den Schuss klasse aus dem Eck kratzen und um den Pfosten zur Ecke lenken.
Anschließend übernahm Frankfurt wieder die Kontrolle und kam auch zu mehreren Chancen, wie zum Beispiel durch Tosun, doch der US-Torwart war zur Stelle.
In der 83. kam nach schöner langer Flanke ein US-Stürmer frei zum Kopfball, doch sein Kopfball ging drei Meter am Tor vorbei. 3 Minuten später gab es eine noch größere Chance zum Ausgleich, doch Amerikas rechter Stürmer nahm den hohen Ball nicht volley, sondern versuchte ihn zu kontrollieren- die Sekunde, die Frankfurts Kapitän Cincotta ausreichte, sich in die Schussbahn zu werfen und den Ball zur Ecke zu klären.
Eintracht Frankfurt wechselte noch einmal defensiv, um den Sieg nicht mehr zu gefährden, auch wenn der Torwart in der 89. behandelt werden musste, als er nach einem Klärungsversuch getroffen wurde.
Letztendlich konnte das US- Nationalteam aber nicht mehr gefährlich werden und das für sie schmeichelhafte 1:0 blieb bis zum Schlusspfiff bestehen.
Über fast die gesamte Spielzeit blieb Eintracht Frankfurt spielbestimmend, was auch das Chancenplus und mehr Ballbesitz belegen.
Spieler des Abends wurde Cenk Tosun, der mit Marcos Alvarez (ausgewechselt in der 89. Minute) die Abwehr des US-Teams ein ums andere Mal in Verlegenheit brachte.
Damit beendet Eintracht Frankfurt die Gruppenphase auf einem 2. Platz hinter dem Nationalteam Mexikos.

Wednesday night live blog part 2



10:32 What an unreal finish to the final group game of Dallas Cup. The semfinal places were not confirmed until the last 30 seconds of the tournament. It will be Mexico vs Monterrey and Cruzeiro vs Tottenham on Friday night, don't miss it.

10:25 UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Gabriel Carvalho of Cruzeiro latches onto a cross that was cleared to the top of the box and overhead volleys the winning goal for the Brazilians!!! No more than 30 seconds before the end, Cruzeiro books their place in the final 4

10:20 5 minutes of injury time...Chivas is holding on.

10:18 Oooh! #11 Warley Alves for Cruzeiro steals the ball, and steps into a curling shot from 25 yards out that is magnificently parried away by the Chivas keeper....Corner to Cruzeiro right at 90 minute mark

10:13 Game is really heating up! Cruzeiro has a chance off a long clearance from the keeper that gets carried in the wind all the way to the Chivas box. It fell to the Cruzeiro forward who could only manage a tame shot 87th minute

10:08 Best chance of the second half for Cruzeiro a cross whipped in with a free header from 10 yards out sent right at the keeper.

10:07 Cruzeiro starting to push forward looking for the goal to put them in the semifinals...getting close.

9:52 Apologies for the gap inbetween posts...Back and forth action, with Chivas holding the advantage.

9:35 30 seconds into the second half and Chivas has a glorious scoring opportunity...shot goes right at the keeper who holds on.

9:18 Halftime here at Pizza Hut Park....should be a huge second half. Cruzeiro needs a goal to go through.

9:13 The games is a battle in the midfield....not much going on in either attacking third. 42nd minute

9:01 Cruzeiro puts a shot into the side netting after some nifty, Brazilian samba moves

8:54 Cruzeiro pushing forward nearly scores again from a header at the backpost off a free kick...wish I could get names, but these numbers are really tough to see

8:52 Just a minute later Cruzeiro strikes back! A cruzeiro player sent a beautiful header towards goal saved well but the rebound was punched home...we're knotted at 1!

8:50 Goal Chivas! Free kick struck beautifully bent to the top left corner by Eder Hernandez. Goalie had no chance

8:43 Very even first ten minutes with neither side gaining much of an advantage...Cruzeiro has already been forced to make a substitution.

8:37 Legion Texas is here supporting Chivas

8:34 Chivas' black numbers on the red and white jerseys are almost unintelligible

8:29

Wednesday night live blog

8:20 1-0 Final to Eintracht! Great performance from the Germans... disappointing week for the Americans.

8:07 headed down to the field for quotes....

8:05 best moment of the match from the USA....great buildup play to get Jesus Gonzlaez space to deliver a great ball to Orozco at the far post. Orozco has time to settle the ball, but his shot is saved by a sliding defender 87th minute

8:02 Bates puts a wide open header from 10 yards out wide of the post....USA can't buy a goal.

8:01 Finley makes a nice run but gets the ball stuck up under his feet

7:58 Will bates on for Cesar Zamora 79th minute

7:52 Dillon Powers, the only player offering anything tonight, makes a nice run forward earning a dangerous free kick right at the top of the D....74th minute. De La Fuente, J. Gonzalez and Orozco standing over the box. Orozco hits it around the wall, saved brilliantly by the goalie.

7:48 USA is holding possession decently but to quote one writer in the press box "anemic going forward" "A sloppier, worse version of the first half"

7:44 Rongen is reading this blog...Jesus Gonzalez in for Polak

7:40 Polak not having a good match...gets beat by Alvarez off the dribble but shot is sent into the side netting

7:38 Ruben Gonzalez getting forward well for the US...earns a corner played short to Polak who sends in a terrible cross.

7:33 scores from today:
Chelsea 1 Monterrey 0 FC Dallas 2 LD Alajuelense 1
Tottenham 2 Tigres 0 Dallas Texans 3 Japan 2
Mexico 1 Vancouver 0
Hoffenheim 7 CZ Elite 0

7:31 Tosun and Alvarez are giving the USA backline all sorts of trouble. They combine well and are a perfect pairing of size and speed. USA can't seem to get much going.

7:26 Orozco dummies a ball to DeLaFuente who gives it back to Orozco but the chance goes begging.

7:25 Second half about to kick off...Ruben Gonzalez on for Jose Altamirano for USA

7:10 Halftime it's 1-0 Frankfurt...Eintracht is pretty much holding the run of play. USA has had a few limited chances but only one good scoring chance while Eintracht has hit the post and had a few other dangerous opportunities.

7:08 Goal for Frankfurt! Cenk Tosun scores on a USA defensive mixup by Tyler Polak and Valentin allows Tosun to sneak in and slot it past MacMath 1-0 Frankfurt right before halftime

6:56 Wedemeyer fouls Orozco creating a dangerous free kick on the edge of the box.....Free kick finds the head of Valentin who heads just wide! Half the crowd thought it was in

6:53 Orozco's nifty moves earn a corner kick for the US...corner finds Valentin who heads it over the bar. 31st minute

6:51 A great ball down the right side frees Marcos Alvarez into a ton of space, but he is indecisive on the ball and wastes a good opportunity....corner to Eintracht cleared by Zamora

6:45 Free kick for Eintracht headed out by USA to Tosun at the top of the box who blasts it well over

6:43 Frankfurt features two German U19 international forwards in Marcos Alvarez and Cenk Tosun

6:41: 19th minute and things have been very back and forth...Frankfurt hit the post about 5 minutes ago off a header from Tosun. DeLaFuente fluffed a breakaway for USA earlier

We're running a bit late here, but we're going to live blog the action tonight from PHP.

Nike Taking Dallas Cup to a Whole New Level



By Daniel Robertson

When it was announced earlier in the year that Nike would be joining the Dr. Pepper Dallas Cup family everyone associated with the tournament knew this would be a match made in heaven, but no one could anticipate just how far Nike was planning on going to make the Dr. Pepper Dallas Cup the premier youth tournament in the world. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, Nike has draped the areas around Pizza Hut Park with some of the coolest banners you'll see featuring Dallas Cup stars of the past like Clint Dempsey and Robinho while taking the available merchandise places we've never seen before at the tournament.

Anyone who has been to the tournament so far has no doubt stopped by one of the numerous Nike merchandise tents around here and been blown away by the ridiculously cool shirts and hats. Perhaps the neatest part of Nike's presence at Dr. Pepper Dallas Cup XXXI has been their boot room and adjoining Nike Soccer+ training challenge.

Located on field 10 right behind the Dr. Pepper Victory Center and in the nearest parking lot right next to Technology Drive, the Nike boot room and Soccer+ training challenge showcases their spiffy new line of soccer boots. Open to the public the entire week of Dallas Cup, anyone can go check out the three new styles of boots, the Total 90 Laser III's , Mercurial Vapor Superfly II, and CTR360's.

After deciding which of the boots is your favorite, go to the other side of the tent and sign up for the Nike Soccer+ Challenge. There's three different challenges that target specific areas of skill that were developed with world superstars Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres and Cesc Fabregas. First, players try the master accuracy test known as the Torres Challenge, second is the Master Control known as the Cesc Challenge and finally you go to the Master Speed known as the Ronaldo Test.

Head over to the tent and see if you can beat my terrible scores and get your name on the big screen scoreboard outside of their tent featuring the top scores of the week. Here's my scores:

Master Control: 31.15(particularly shameful)
Master Accuracy: 68.91
Master Speed 25.23

If you're wondering how I remember my scores, they give you a very cool lanyard and card with your scores digitally printed on there.....did I mention this was all free?

So head on over to the Nike Soccer+ tent at Dr. Pepper Dallas Cup and if you're not in Dallas head over to www.nikesoccer.com to get tons of more info on the whole line of Nike's new boots.

Oscar Pareja post-game quotes

Some very interesting stuff from FC Dallas Juniors head coach Oscar Pareja after his team's 2-1 defeat to CF Monterrey tonight.

Oscar Pareja:

I didn’t like the first half, we came a little bit flat. Still the tournament for me is one of those experiences for some of the boys, many of them are for the first time playing against probably one of the biggest clubs in the world in Chelsea’s case or Monterrey one of the biggest programs in Mexico that has that prestige. So that impact they didn’t absorb it quickly and it was hard to digest. Once they went on the pitch and said ‘well you know what we can do this too, we’re this good, then they start reacting. And then against Chelsea it was way late but today it was good timing and they got the game back. I think today was a good performance I’m very very pleased with it. I think we competed against them under the same conditions and I’m very proud of it. I think it was a great second half and I said to the boys the second half, for me, if I play any game or lose any game the way I played in the second half I don’t care.

What did you see about the penalty kick?

I didn’t see any PK. I still think that department has to be improved. The quality wasn’t good from the guys in yellow but there’s nothing you can do from the bench when they call the PK. It’s difficult to change it but it definitely wasn’t a PK.

Since they went down 3-0 to Chelsea it seems the team has rebounded and gained confidence, where did that confidence come from?

It is the lack of meaningful games that we need for our elite players. These two games are just the proof of it. We have many games but not meaningful games…Games that mean something for real, not just a tournament or championship but the games where they get exposed to people and the media. They have to do it because they have to prove that they’re good enough to go to the next level. So we’re lacking of those games, how many of those can we play in a year? Two or three if were lucky, but the other games are just, you know games at the select level…

To answer your question though we’ve proved and I say over and over, American players have the talent, conditions, attitude, mentality, everything to get to the next level and put this country to the next next next level and compete with the big guys. What we need is to give our youth meaningful games. Monterrey, Chelsea they’re all the time playing big games. They play the FA Cup, playing in Europe in front of media, television , and fans. Monterrey guys are dying because they need to sign a contract tomorrow or that’s it. We are just there. But I’m very happy to participate in the Super Group, nothing has helped me more than these last two games.

What have you learned from the Super Group yourself as a coach?

I’ve learned that the young players are very very tender still and it’s easy to turn it on or turn it off. In games like this you have to be more active than usual…I didn’t used to talk much or coach much during the games but I saw in the last two games that they need me more and I learned that.

Thomas Rongen post-game quotes

A bit of the post-game reporter chat with US U20 Head Coach Thomas Rongen after the 1-0 loss to Mexico tonight

El Tri Dispatch of 10-Man US in Dallas


I can’t fault the team. Great character, hit the cross bar, we had to try to go at them a little bit with ten men and put them on their heels the last ten minutes. A typical US-Mexico game with some fireworks a little bit of flair and two teams that go after each other.


Do you feel like you learned a lot from your team?


Yeah I did which is always good and that’s the most important thing. We’re never happy that we lose but I found out a little bit about in these games you find out about character and resilience of players and willingness to sacrifice and push the threshold of pain so to speak. All the little things that are important.


Do you expect to rotate the squad tomorrow?


We’ll play nine new guys tomorrow. I want to give everyone an opportunity. As I said we don’t like to lose but right now results are secondary where we’re at in our phase of preparation. We’re trying to figure out which guys can play and which can’t and who are our best 20 players eventually to take us through qualifying.


On the red card, there are situations in soccer where the referee can issue a red card but he doesn’t have to, is that what that play comes down to?


Yeah, I think so. I mean it changes really the course of the game. I don’t even think it’s a PK, it’s probably outside of the box. There was some contact obviously with both players in an awkward position…you’ve got to use a little common sense I think. You put the yellow and give them the PK and nobody would complain.


Talk about Francisco’s performance a bit


Francisco(Navas Cobo)’s an interesting guy obviously. Now with the first team of Houston gets in a very good training environment and not necessarily a playing environment because we don’t have a reserve league but you can tell that he’s got some talent. He needs to learn when to dribble and when to combine maybe those are areas where he can still get better. I love his work rate today, he worked extremely hard. Dominic Kinnear says he’s a kid that will only get better which he will….I’m pretty satisfied with his performance.


Are you looking for leadership out Dillon Powers because he’s one of the holdovers from this cycle?


Yeah him and Gale(Agbossoumonde) who obviously didn’t get released from Braga which is good and bad you like to have him here on the other hand he’s playing well obviously. That’s the two guys who played in the previous U20 world cup, both got minutes there. Dillon was the captain today for a reason and I think that he showed today that he by example can lead. I think he’ll get a little verbal as well which is an area he excels in. What an unbelievable game under the circumstances.


Are you interested to see Gyau tomorrow with Vancouver?


Yeah that’s always good. There’s guys in this tournament, one guy at Tigres who’s a Mexican-American, Monterrey’s got one or two as well. Gyau and Renken, though Renken’s still injured but Gyau is there so it’s great exercise to see him on the other side of the ball and see if he’s a guy we need to look at.
