To a good manager, the last two are particularly important so as to enable a member of the team to realize his dreams as a professional footballer which significantly increases his morale, satisfaction with the game and work in the club, as well as his skills on the pitch. Objectives of the football players are very varied: some want to go in the first team, while others want to play for their country, increase theor skills, perform penalty kicks, etc.
