LONDON virtually a decade ago, The Wall Street Journal writer Sam Walker had the idea of bothersome to identify the most objectively good teams in sporting history, and seeing if he could discern any common traits.He found they every shared a single characteristic - for every team, the duration of their execution coincided as soon as the lifespan of a captain, who could elevate a team to feat higher than the level of their natural ability, from Hungary's Ferenc Puskas to Carles Puyol of Barcelona.In short, he theorised the one business the greatest teams have in common is good artist leadership. Walker's findings allow an fascinating counterpoint to an inconspicuous but intriguing trend of this Premier League season.At many teams, the club captain has been an impermanent or peripheral figure.Gary Cahill has barely played for Chelsea, likewise, Everton's Phil Jagielka, and Southampton's Steven Davis, now on move forward to Rangers. LEAD BY EXAMPLEYou don't always need vocal captains... You can guide by example as a creative player. If the likes of Hazard or Silva are picked as captains, for me, that's a sign that those guys should be skillful to inspire the team.NIGEL WINTERBURN, former Arsenal defender, on how individualistic attacking players can fracture the archetype of the vocal and defensive captain.Manchester United's Antonio Valencia and Manchester City's Vincent Kompany have started five and six league games respectively.Seven clubs (Arsenal, the Toffees, Fulham, City, United, Newcastle and the Saints) have had four or more captains this term.All of which begs a question: Is the ever-present, totemic captain an endangered species? And does it matter?The first business to tapering off out is that there does not appear to be an obvious correlation with consistency of captain and execution based on the small sample of this league season.City realize not appear to have suffered for rotating the armband.In fact, it is simple to disparage the importance attached to captaincy as pass - a peculiarly English hang-up.
When pundits - usually from the generations of retired former players - bemoan the deficiency of leaders in militant football, it feels as soon as they are often harking assist to that monolithic figure of English folklore.The blood-soaked Terry Butcher, or Captain Marvel Bryan Robson, or John Terry or Tony Adams shouting and pointing fingers.But Nigel Winterburn, who played below Adams at Arsenal, says that the presence of an old-school skipper in the ranks was not something he or his teammates considered a particularly important factor in their success."It didn't allow us everything extra," the former England defender says."I never really anxious who was captain, it didn't engagement me."When Winterburn moved to West Ham, the captaincy was less consistent unlike at Highbury, yet he "didn't personally revelation the difference".Is the lionisation of a single captain out of step as soon as the reality of militant football then, a dated need in an time of militant analytics and artist rotation?As Michael Cox biting out in an article for ESPN on Arsenal's perceived deficiency of leaders in 2016, every generation thinks it had augmented leaders.As early as 1938, next Gunners boss Herbert Chapman was lamenting: "Football today lacks the personalities of 20 or 30 years ago."A deficiency of leadership is often a retrofitted criticism applied to underperforming teams, while teams that succeed, despite lacking archetypal leaders, run away censure.However, it would be incorrect to tell the idea of captaincy is something that is incompatible as soon as the logical side of militant football.It is reachable that the cult of the captain has seemingly declined in parallel as soon as the rise of the cult of the coach.The advent of meticulous micromanagers such as City's Pep Guardiola and Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp, whose coaching depends in large share on intensively rehearsing movements and systems, ensures their teams are never in two minds of what to realize in any phase of the game.It seems there has also been a tweak in the type of artist considered for the captaincy.In the past, that office was usually the maintain of vocal, charismatic, defensive players.But a extra breed of captain has begun to emerge. This season, Arsenal's Mesut Ozil, David Silva at City and Fulham's Tom Cairney have worn the armband in the league.These are every attacking players, most of the individualistic variety, none especially loud.But Winterburn, who was captained by Joe Cole in his given season at West Ham, believes they can realize the job."You don't always need vocal captains," he says. "You can guide by example as a creative player. If the likes of (Chelsea's Eden) Hazard or Silva are picked as captains, for me, that's a sign that those guys should be skillful to inspire the team."While Winterburn yet prefers the single-captain model, he adds, "There should be 11 captains out there."It seems that is the quirk we are heading but by rotating the captaincy, are you multiplying leadership or spreading it more thinly?Therein lies the paradox - as soon as 59 players and counting having skippered a league team this season, is captaincy in decline? Or is it in fashion?THE TIMES, LONDON
