According to Tasnim news agency, Peter Murphy, a former player and volleyball coach, is helping Louis van Gaal, the head coach of the Dutch national football team, to participate in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Murphy’s job is to help goalkeepers save penalties.
Van Gaal said in his press conference: “Murphy takes tests from the players and also talks to them about scaring and distracting the opponent.” If his actions are scientifically confirmed, we will implement them in training.
The head coach of the Dutch national football team continued: “Murphy has done studies on destroying the opponent’s concentration and distracting the opposing player, and he knows how to do it.” I don’t want to elaborate on this, because more countries may use this technique. The Netherlands is probably the first country to use this method on a scientific basis.
The Dutch national team will meet Qatar, Ecuador and Senegal in Group A of the World Cup.
