ZOUMA - Would you let him leave on loan next season

 

Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero openly admitted he is "trying to get Kurt Zouma" this summer as he looks to strengthen the physical presence of his team. I ask Chelsea fan read this if you think you should consider letting him go on loan?

 

Zouma impressed everyone with his performance in defense and, surprisingly, also in the role of defensive midfielder (just ask Marouane Fellaini) this season. He answered the call and made a real name for himself with fans taking to heart.

 

However, at least for next season (and I would have to believe that this is the case of JT signing a new contract for one year) Zouma would have to settle for a place on the bench behind Gary Cahill and new JT as They seem the preferred choice of Jose Mourinho.

 

So where does that leave Zouma? It would be used in the same way next season by the manager and introduced to the side to play a key role in the games That's enough to Zouma when you have to play regularly to help in its development?

 

Besides the interest of the president of Sampdoria. Good talk recently, Massimo Ferrero revealed that he intended to appoint the legendary goalkeeper Walter Zenga as their new manager following the departure of Sinisa Mihajlovic and affected Zouma main objective.

 

His particular interest is as it seems and Sampdoria would be able to offer regular first Zouma football team in what will be a season with major European leagues all to come next year.

 

Players must be playing football regularly if they want to be considered for the tournament and I can not see that Zouma settle for the same stage this time at Chelsea.

 

Personally, I let myself go for a loan, because we cover defense season. Branislav Ivanovic defender Cesar Azpilicueta can play with the movement of the right side. Filipe Luis, if I could not still play left back or if the reports are correct, they could sign of Toby Alderweireld athletic and can play on the left or in the middle of the back.

 

What do you think we should do about Zouma Let him go on loan or play much next season at Chelsea? If so, it is instead of the band

 

I am interested in reading many of your opinions

7 life lessons learned Basketball

 

7 life lessonsAs I mentioned in the article on The 7 life

 

For example, during a basketball game, many analogies can be made to what happens in the life of a person. There are ups and downs, challenges endless, constant adversity and what it takes to find them in the head.

 

The dynamics of the game of basketball really correspond to what happens in life. As in basketball, so in life:

 

1. Understand and master the basics of the game. Before you can play the game of basketball you should learn the basics or fundamentals concepts - how to play the game, how to pass, dribble, run the floor and shoot the ball. You have to develop the skills to play at an acceptable level.

Lesson: In life must also learn the basics. You must establish what (life), what does it mean for you and you want it. Then you must develop the skills and strategies needed to achieve this.

 

2. Be prepared mentally and physically. Elite athletes know that they can not work optimally or win games if you are not prepared mentally and physically. You must be physically fit to withstand a basketball season long, tiring and demanding. Equally important, you should have a mental fitness. Includes a positive mental attitude, willing and winning mentality. One without the other will not win games.

Lesson: Being prepared mentally and physically is essential in life.

 

3. Be selfless and a team player. Basketball is a team sport, which means it requires the contribution and cooperation of all members to play well and win. Everyone should concentrate, work together and fulfill their individual roles for the common good of the team. team player

How big of a player Michael Jordan era, he did not win any championships until he learned to involve his teammates, trust them and distributing the ball.

 

In one of the biggest score of his career games, scoring 63 points and set a playoff record, his team lost to the Boston Celtics. In a sport where individual greatness is measured largely by winning a championship ring, personal glory does the job. Lesson: The same goes for life. To contribute, cooperate and share.

 

4. Be alert and aware. Anticipating the game. The best basketball players have been credited with extraordinary vision and court awareness. Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and other great players knew exactly where everyone was on the court, the trends of the other players, and performs work against different teams. The ability to anticipate and be ready for a game made active, rather than reactive, players in a match. It is a factor that separates the great players from good players.

Lesson: Be aware and conscious in life sets the stage for the performance.

 

5. If the parties are not working, reset the game plan. Every great basketball player knows that when its parts are not working you have to adjust, then adjust a little more. The strengths and different styles of different opponents require different tactics. You must be able to withstand and respond to any opponent attack uses on you. Lesson: Life presents many challenges for which we have to adjust our game plan.

 

6. Never leave the game. Persevere. never give up Another feature common to the brilliance of Larry, Magic and Michael was to never give up on a play. When they missed shots that would be the ones to recover their own rebounds, diving for loose balls, outwit defenders and make every last second count (he often did). They were willing to do the little things that statistics do not reflect. Many a dagger was thrust into the heart of an opponent when the game result seemed a foregone conclusion. How? Because we never gave up. Not in the game, not the game, not themselves!

Lesson: Persevere. Never, never, never give up.

 

7. win more games than you lose, but accept victory and defeat with grace. No matter what sport you play, you can not win every game. In a series of 7 championship game two balanced teams often win only one more than they lost game. Blood, sweat and tears to win a championship is needed. If you give everything I have, no matter what the outcome, you can keep your head up. Learn what it takes to win and come back and try again. Before they won, Larry, Magic and Michael lost many games and championships. Before they understand what it took to win, they had to learn to accept defeat.

Lesson: The same goes for life. Everything will not always go your way. There will be two defeats and victories. If you give all your best shot and learn lessons along the way, you will come out a winner.

Asia Unites Against Poaching

Representatives from 13 Asian countries committed to immediate action to stamp out poaching at the conclusion of a four-day symposium hosted by the Nepal government in Kathmandu from February 2-6, 2015.

The Symposium: Towards Zero Poaching in Asia adopted five recommendations:

  • Swift and decisive action to elevate the importance and effectiveness of antipoaching initiatives and cooperation among all relevant ministries, departments and agencies within their borders, while at the same time strengthening international cooperation in the face of this serious criminal activity.
  • Adoption of the Zero Poaching Tool Kit and assessment of current antipoaching responses to determine improvements and close serious gaps.
  • Increase and improve collaboration as a successful antipoaching response is critically dependant on effectively engaging a diverse number of shareholders
  • Improve standards, training and support for rangers, other frontline staff and prosecutors.
  • Commit to identifying a Zero Poaching national contact point to effectively coordinate transboundary efforts to stop poaching.

Tika Ram Adhikari, Director General of Nepal’s Department of Wildlife Conservation and Soil Conservation, said: “Nepal was proud to host this vital conversation in Asia because we recognize that poaching is robbing us of our wildlife wealth, which includes tigers, rhinos and elephants. We cannot allow wildlife crime to continue to wrap its tentacles deeper into the region. Our individual efforts may win us a few battles, but we can only win the war if Asia presents a united front to stop the poaching, end the trafficking and wipe out demand.”

Mike Baltzer, Leader, WWF Tigers Alive Initiative, said: “This is the beginning of the end for poaching across Asia. WWF is proud to have supported this landmark meeting and is committed to be part of the new determined movement for Zero Poaching in Asia.”

Nepal was the natural host for the symposium having achieved zero poaching for two years in the past four years. At the symposium, representatives from local communities, protected areas as well as enforcement agencies shared their lessons lea

At the closing ceremony, Nepal’s legendary Chitwan National Park (CNP) also became the first global site to be accredited as Conservation Assured Tiger Standard (CA|TS).Despite the threats that CNP faces, the protected area has seen an increasingly effective management and protection regime. This further demonstrates the commitment of Nepal towards zero poaching.

Thirteen Asian countries participated in the symposium: Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Russia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Lao PDR. Partner NGOs and other organisations included IUCN, TRAFFIC, CITES, UN Office on Drugs and Crime, US Department of Justice, SMART Partnership and Southern African Wildlife College.

WWF co-hosted the symposium with Global Tiger Forum, National Trust for Nature Conservation and the South Asian Wildlife Enforcement Network.

The symposium provides valuable direction on tackling poaching in advance of the Kasane Conference on the Illegal Wildlife Trade to be hosted by the Botswana government on 25th March 2015. This meeting follows the London Conference on the Illegal Wildlife Trade hosted by the UK government in February 2014, where 41 governments committed to taking “decisive and urgent action….” through the agreed declaration.
