The kind of dude who leaves everyone else to argue over whether the glass is half-full or half-empty while he goes off to fix the tap.
And already it’s obvious that he is not interested in things that are not realistic. That goes for everything – selection, style of play, expectations, the lot. Hallgrímsson is not wedded to a particular formation and doesn’t see it as being overly important that his Ireland teams learn to play to one.Shamrock Rovers sent to Conference League as PAOK net twice in Tallaght“I’ve never had a favourite system,” he said.
“On the ball you can have the relaxed player playing the risky passes without losing it. At the moment other things are more important than spending all of our time in build-up. For me it’s about scoring a goal. If the build-up helps with that then we will focus on that.” “Normally I’m kind of a realistic in every way. We have a good group of people, both the federation and players, who are dedicated to do a good job. Everybody is on board and looking forward to doing their best. That’s really encouraging, and I haven’t felt any negativity since I came. Maybe they will spare me the first weeks of the job but I really feel comfortable to do a good job.”
“I’m really looking forward to that. Everybody has told me and everybody has said that it’s like we’re playing one game, we’re only playing England. Everybody is saying we need to play good against England.
