Message: [QUOTE="Tafara, post: 67833"] We've seen some national coaches pretty much ignore the players in our own local league. I'm hoping Marian Marinica is different. His background includes being a technical director and a coach educator, so he should understand the importance of developing homegrown talent. We need a coach who actually comes to the stadiums and watches the local games. If Marian Marinica just relies on foreign-based players, he's going to miss out on some real hidden gems. Building a strong national team means strengthening the local league, too. I hope ZIFA made that part of his job description. He needs to be involved with the entire football structure, not just the senior team. [/QUOTE]
