#3 Repair relationship with media
Trending
Every country seems to think they possess the most frenzied, most demanding, most capricious team of journalists – leading to headlines like, "Can Manager X cope up with the tricky English press?", "Can the incoming Real Madrid manager smoothen the cracks over the relationship with media?" and so on and so forth. However, many of those problems pale in comparison with Argentina football team’s relationship with the media.
A supportive approach from a nation's media can go a long way towards bridging the gap between the players and supporters, uniting the country as one to root for in times of success and distress. The friction between the Argentinian media and players, therefore, is not helping their cause.
Back in November, Lionel Messi led his 25 team mates into the Estadio San Juan press room and announced they would be boycotting the country's media – a decision they continue to adhere to.
It is time for this madness to end. Argentinian players, now more than ever, need the fans by their side – and restoration of media faith is a crucial step towards achieving that.
