Shelbourne manager Damien Duff provides insight into triggers that his players work off ahead of Europa Conference League qualifier.
That is how Damien Duff broke down Shelbourne ’s concession of the opening goal in their 3-0 first-leg defeat to FC Zurich last week.
“Back pressing – we call that Trapattoni. I’m a big believer in small little details, and small, small little mistakes. If you make enough of them it ends up a big problem,” Duff said. “Eh, Joe calls Will or what have you, ‘You need to do the Duffer’. I won’t get into what the Duffer is but we do have a saying for absolutely everything. I might have to go back and tell them what they actually are because some lads who are new in the door are like, ‘what the hell is ?’”
“Arnie, you don’t know what that is, it’s Arnie Schwarzenegger,” he said. “Okay, you’re told to do something but if you watch his Netflix show, you listen to your coaches 99% of the time, but one time there is, ‘Oh no, I should do this’ so there is an Arnie moment in it as well. “I don’t know, I’m trying to think of one now. A wide free kick, we have a word for a wide free kick on the right, ‘Well, the manager told me to do this and we have to do this’. Well, we might take it quick and go and dribble with it, that would be Arnie.”
