...best defence of all time

CAS FOR THE DEFENCE ... keeper Iker Casillas saves Joao Moutinho's penalty in s/f

SPAIN’S sensational success is not based on their glorious passing game but on probably the best defence in football history.

Boss Vicente Del Bosque’s men have gone four matches without conceding and boast the best back-line at Euro 2012.

The one goal they let in came in their Group C opener against Italy.

Opta stats show Spain have not shipped a goal in the knockout stages of their lastTHREE major tournaments — an unprecedented nine do-or-die games.

They have not conceded more than one goal in any finals match since a 3-1 defeat by France in the 2006 World Cup and have not lost a knockout game since!

You have to go back to October 2010 to find the last time they let in two goals in a competitive match — a 3-2 win against Scotland in Glasgow, when Spain had 74 per cent possession.

It is precisely their ability to keep the ball that is their biggest defensive weapon as they starve the opposition of chances.

Former Manchester United ace Gerard Pique admitted that, for all the talk of ‘tiki-taka’ football, Spain’s stars see the priority as always to keep a clean sheet before anything else.

Pass masters Xavi and Xabi Alonso sweat blood for the team, as does midfield anchor Sergio Busquets, to snuff out any threat coming from their rivals.

Pique said: “Right now, defensively the team is performing so well. Not just the defence but the whole side has the mentality that the most important thing is to keep a clean sheet and from that point on to score goals. I think it is working.

“We’ve not conceded in four matches now, including extra-time and we are very happy.

“The mentality we have is we should not concede and Xavi, Xabi Alonso and Busquets help us so much in our defensive work. The two full-backs have also played a blinder.”

Spain’s midfield trio shield the Fabulous Five at the back and together they are the spine of Spain.

The men who make the case for the defence? Skipper Iker Casillas, former Liverpool ace Alvaro Arbeloa, Pique, Sergio Ramos and Jordi Alba who’s just completed a £12million move from Valencia to Barcelona .

Madrid star Ramos and Barcelona ace Pique were reportedly at loggerheads because of the intense rivalry between the El Clasico rivals but have put their difference aside to form an impenetrable duet.

Spain’s preparations were rocked as Carles Puyol pulled out injured but Pique and Ramos have been the best in Euro 2012.

Pique continued: “Game by game I think Sergio and I have gained in confidence. Defensively we are so good and then of course up front we have enough quality to create chances and try to score goals.”

It is this approach that makes other defensive sides of the past pale into insignificance. Italy also kept four clean sheets on the trot in Euro 1968 and Euro 1980 but they had missed out on the interim two tournaments meaning Spain hold the out-and-out record for clean sheets in one tournament – as well as for consecutive knock-out matches.

Spain’s defensive success goes hand –in-hand with their astonishing ability to keep the ball. In every tournament there is always an idiotic media bandwagon about to start rolling.

In this tournament we had a feeble attempt to liken Cristiano Ronaldo to Diego Maradona but even worse some suggested Spain were BORING.

On average they have had more than 60 per cent possession according to OPTA in all of their last three tournaments.

The last time Spain had less than 50per cent possession in a tournament match was the final against Germany in Euro 2008, when they had 46 per cent.

They STILL kept a clean sheet and won the game as Fernando Torres grabbed the priceless winner and under boss Luis Aragones Spain ended a 44-year trophy drought.

Amazingly this was the ONLY match Spain had less possession than their rivals in the last...EIGHT years.

So as they matched Germany’s feat of reaching three successive finals (as West Germany they won the 1972 European Championships, the 1974 World Cup and also reached the final of the 1976 Euros which they lost on pens to Czechoslovakia).

Pique missed out on Euro 2008 as it was the summer he quit United to return to Barcelona and go on from an Old Trafford sub to be regarded as the world’s best centre-half. He’s won everything with Barcelona and of course the World Cup so winning on Sunday is the only thing missing in his cabinet.

Win on Sunday and Spain will be rightly regarded as the best team of all time – the first to win three majors on the bounce.

And Pique acknowledged that adding: “After winning this I will want to win all of those trophies again. I don’t look at it like that. Spain deserves it for the people and this team. It will be so difficult to find another generation of such good players to put together and we have to take maximum advantage and win this competition.

“It happened with Barcelona too when we won everything and then you don’t velaue these little moments as much as you should.

“As I said before we will have to wait a long time to see a team reach so many finals and all of us have to appreciate the magnitude of this success.”

cars..cars..cars...

First things first. The cars you see here are not from Caterham. Confusion comes to the common man because it looks similar to the Caterham, which has enjoyed some presence due to a certain Formula 1 team. These cars are from Westfield, a car brand that is owned by a UK company called Potenza and sold here by a JV company formed with local partner DRB-Hicom, hence the name Hicom-Potenza for the local distribution company.

In Malaysia, there are two Westfield cars that are available for purchase – the Westfield Sport Turbo 3 and the Westfield AeroRace.

The car you see in the picture above is the Westfield Sport Turbo 3, and it’s only available as a factory-built car. It is powered by a 1.6 litre 16V Ecotec-4 Turbo VXR engine that is capable of 230 hp at 5,800 rpm and 260 Nm at 2,000 rpm. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The ST3, in this current form, tips the scales at 715 kg. Put all that together and you’ll get blistering performance numbers: 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 240 km/h.

The car measures 3,500 mm long, 1,630 mm wide and 1,100 mm high. The space frame chassis is made from lightweight Reynolds 631 tubing. Body panels are all fibreglass coloured gelcode.

Suspension and handling duties are carried out by double wishbones, cast alloy stub axles and coilover dampers (Mazda rear differentials). The ST3 gets solid disc brakes all round – four pot calipers for the front and two pot calipers for the rear. As for tyres, the ST3 wears 15-inch Team Dynamics Race Wheels wrapped in 205/50/15 Toyo R888 SG Compound Tyres.

The car also gets a laminated windscreen, detachable front and rear wheel arches and exhaust tips finished in chrome. Inside, car has fitted Cobra semi bucket adjustable seats with Westfield stitching. The interior is fully trimmed in PU leather. Westfield has also fitted an instrument panel from GM’s catalog.

Options that come with the car are the rear roll-bar protection, soft-top cover and side panel with vinyl door windows. The car also gets an electric boot-lid release.

Pictured above is the demo-version of the Westfield AeroRace, which is why there are two seats. It is powered by a 2.0 litre DOHC Ford Zetec engine that churns 170 hp. The engine features a multi-throttle body, programmable injection system and a 4-2-1 header with a catalyst exhaust manifold system. The engine is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. This car is seriously light, only 525 kg, which gives the AeroRace a zero-to-hundred time of 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 240 km/h.

The AeroRace’s triangulated chassis is made from lightweight tubular steel and wears composite constructed lightweight body panels. The car features double-wishbone independent fully adjustable suspension system, uprated race springs, ultra lightweight billet aluminium brake calipers and adjustable brake bias master cylinder. The racecar runs on 13-inch Team Dynamics Race wheels wrapped in 205/60/13 Toyo R888 SG Compound tyres.

Being a full-fledged race car, this Westfield is outfitted with a five-point harness, a three-spoke motorsport race steering wheel, FIA Approved full cage with integrated driver side impact protection bar, lightweight race wiring looms, Lifeline plumbed 2.25 litre fire extinguisher, start/stop engine switch and central cut-off switch.

The car also has front and rear anti-roll bars, FIA Approved race bucket seats, uprated race brake pads, rear mirror and an LCD digital race dash meter with data logging and GPS Positioning.

Now that we’re done with introductions, let’s get down to the business end. With the law being as it is, I had to ask if the cars are road legal.

Of the two, only the Westfield Sport Turbo 3 will be road legal, soon. Hicom-Potenza has submitted all relevant documents to the proper authorities and is waiting for approval.

The Westfield AeroRace that Hicom-Potenza brings in will be for track-use only; a Motorsport AP is used to bring in the AeroRace, hence, its limited use. This AP also allows the AeroRace to avoid the other taxes and duties that is imposed on the road-legal car.

Price? The Westfield AeroRace will set you back approximately RM180,000. The price is only indicative as Hicom-Potenza is thinking of packaging the car with training courses that will allow owners to know their Westfield well.

It’s also thinking of leasing out the car for the one-make race. However, all plans are in still in development, so there is nothing concrete I can tell you yet. One of the considerations is to lease the car for RM25,000 for three races – the car will be taken care and stored by Hicom-Potenza as well, for that price.

As for the road-legal Westfield Turbo Sport 3, it will set you back in the ballpark of RM300,000. Hicom-Potenza is bringing in the car CBU; the Sport Turbo 3 is factory-built in the UK and does not come in complete kit versions. Which means all the excise duties and taxes will be imposed on the car. On top of that, there’s also shipping and landing costs to cover. Don’t forget the British Pound-Ringgit Malaysia exchange rate.

It leaves the company with a bit of a headache, as it knows the Westfields should be relatively affordable and accessible to most car enthusiast. But other options are being looked at that might allow the company to bring the price down.

One way is to go the CKD route. This will definitely bring the price of the road-legal car down. However, there is the issue of quality to consider, as customers would want their cars to have better workmanship, should DRB-Hicom assemble the cars.

In any case, even if the Sport Turbo 3 came in kit form, the regular Malaysian home lacks the space and facilities the car requires. You would also need some form of hoist so that you can work the underbody of the car, and you’ll definite need to be proficient in welding. Sorry to burst your bubble, mine was burst too.

Hicom-Potenza admits that there is a lot of work to be done. The main goal, however, is to get the Westfield name into as many households as possible. So, when the time comes to unveil its production sports car, at least part of the uphill task is already accomplished.

Driving impression: Westfield Sport Turbo 3

Surprise, surprise. This car is actually easy to drive. I admit, I thought I’d get chewed on and spat out on the gravel, but this car is quite forgiving.

The throttle is responsive and it delivers power as how you want it. But there is turbo lag. It is a slow and easy build up of power before it all comes rushing in when the turbo kicks in. Which is great in the straights. At the corners, things do get on the edge because one wrong step will earn you a ticket to the gravel trap.

This car handles extremely well. Plenty of feedback, of course. But it has quick response and its precision makes it so much fun attacking the apexes. If you’re tall enough, you can actually see the front wheels and judge with more accuracy.

You’ll never feel out of control. This machine truly makes you feel one with it, like it knows what you are thinking. And the only time it goes out of sorts is when the driver becomes an ape behind the wheel.

Since this will be road legal, I do wonder how would one live with such a car.

Driving impression: Westfield AeroRace

Although the two-seater demo-version was available for the test drive session, I somehow found myself in the race-version of the AeroRace. I heard that the demo-version has longer first, second and third gear ratios, which is different than the race-prepped cars. In any case, I didn’t know what to expect. Sure, I’ve driven a few race-ready cars before, but they usually have a door and a roof. Those were a bit soft too. This has a poor excuse of a windshield. If I didn’t have a helmet on, my face would have been just as destroyed as Clarkson’s; I wouldn’t mind one bit.

Amazing is not a word to describe the AeroRace. This car is a wild beast. The gears are short and the distance between the numbers is even shorter. Flicking the gears is as every bit rapid and entertaining.

And you better know what you’re doing before prodding the accelerator. Merely pressing the accelerator does not necessarily deliver the horses. You need to push the pedal deeper. Then, power does not get sent to you, it gets thrown at you. Go out of your mind for a bit and you are guaranteed to face the wrong side of the traffic.

You can feel the spin as it happens, of course. You sit right at on its tail, just in front of the rear axles, which makes you feel the dynamics of the entire car. The steering is quick and accurate, and it translates verbatim everything you want the car to do. And for a brief moment, man and machine are truly one.

Stopping the car requires faith. The brakes don’t bite hard even when you’ve pushed the brake pedal to the floor. But you are stopping quickly. It is unnerving at first, but after a few laps, you’ll be braking deeper into the corners.

Do I even need to mention that this car has no pitch and no yaw? It stays pressed to the road, constantly. I did not record a lap time, how could I when I the car demanded my all of my attention. In the end, it didn’t matter because this car did what it needed to do – increased my heartbeat, put a smile on my face and made me feel alive.

Strategy: An Executive’s Definition

What is a business strategy? It is the result of choices made to maximize long-term value.

The question “What is strategy?” has spurred numerous doctoral dissertations, countless hours of research, and hearty disagreement among serious management thinkers. Perhaps this is why many executives also struggle with it. Nonetheless, decision makers seeking to steer a business to sustained success need a succinct and pragmatic response. After all, it can only help executives to have a shared definition when they are creating, communicating, and implementing a strategy for their business.

Illustration by Otto Steininger

So, what is a business strategy? Strategy is different from vision, mission, goals, priorities, and plans. It is the result of choices executives make, on where to play and how to win, to maximize long-term value.

“Where to play” specifies the target market in terms of the customers and the needs to be served. The best way to define a target market is highly situational. It can be defined in any number of ways, such as by where the target customers are (for example, in certain parts of the world or in particular parts of town), how they buy (perhaps through specific channels), who they are (their particular demographics and other innate characteristics), when they buy (for example, on particular occasions), what they buy (for instance, are they price buyers or service hounds?), and for whom they buy (themselves, friends, family, their company, or their customers?).

Having a differentiated approach to a target market can be a source of great advantage. Southwest Airlines Company is a case in point. Early in its development, Southwest defined its target market to include regular bus travelers — people who wanted to get from point A to point B in the lowest-cost, most convenient way. In contrast to the industry’s hub-and-spoke standard, Southwest’s point-to-point operations and hassle-free service model offered a compelling value proposition for people who would otherwise choose bus travel. This gave the company a unique growth path compared to the traditional airlines.

Or consider Sir Brian Pitman, the former CEO of Lloyds TSB: He had a policy of defining the company’s target markets at one level of segmentation lower than the competition did. For example, Lloyds was the first “high street” (retail) bank in the U.K. to carve out “high net worth” as a separate business with its own unique target customer, value proposition, and system of essential capabilities. Similarly, it was the first British commercial bank to drop large companies as a target customer (with a few “flagship” client companies as exceptions). Sir Brian’s insight — that you could win by being sharper than the competition in choosing your target market — turned Lloyds from the United Kingdom’s banking laggard to its leading bank.

In both the Southwest and Lloyds cases, “where to play” was an essential part of what made the company’s strategy so successful for such a long time.

“How to win” spells out the value proposition that will distinguish a business in the eyes of its target customers, along with the capabilities that will give it an essential advantage in delivering that value proposition. Choices must be made because there is at least one way to win in every market, but not everyone can win in any given market. With good choices, a business gains the right to win in its target markets. The target market, value proposition, and capabilities must hang together in a coherent way. And good strategies call for the right amount of “capabilities stretch”: not too much or too little change from the capabilities a business already has.

Every company faces innumerable options for where to play and how to win. Often it has to sort out seemingly conflicting objectives, such as the need for both long-term growth and short-term profitability, to choose which options to pursue. To “maximize long-term value” means — when there are mutually exclusive options — to select those that will give the greatest sustained increase to the company’s economic value. We once heard a corporate leader ask, “But how can you ever know when you have maximized value?” The fact is, you can’t, because you can never know with certainty if there’s a better option than those you’ve considered so far. To “maximize long-term value” is to never stop looking for those higher-value options.

It’s worth emphasizing that “maximizing long-term value” is not the same thing as “maximizing share price” or “maximizing shareholder value.” Those objectives typically represent the more short-term demands of current shareholders or their advisors, and they do not always align with what is best for all shareholders, particularly long-term owners. On the other hand, “maximizing long-term value” does not mean forgetting about the short term. Economic value takes into account growth and profitability, the short term and long term, and risk as well as reward.

To define the fundamentals of your business strategy, you need only to answer three questions:

1. Who is the target customer?

2. What is the value proposition to that customer?

3. What are the essential capabilities needed to deliver that value proposition?

Without clear and coherent answers to these three questions, you may have an exciting vision, a compelling mission, clear goals, and an ambitious strategic plan with many actions under way, but you won’t have a strategy.

ESP Control

You’re driving along the highway to KLIA to drop your wife off to catch a flight. The skies are pouring down at full blast, and your wipers are struggling to keep up. There’s loads of water on the road, so you keep to the middle lane to reduce your chances of aquaplaning. You think there’s plenty of time to reach the airport, and since you’re taking precautions, everything should be dandy.

But not everyone is as conservative as you in the wet. Another car behind you speeding along in the fast lane suddenly starts spinning, and spinning, and spinning – and you watch it slowly come closer and closer to you through your rear view mirror. It’s spinning 360 degrees while sliding towards you at a higher speed than you’re driving forward with full traction! BAM! The other car hits you at highway speeds and sends your car veering almost sideways out of control towards the barrier.

Seems a little far fetched, but this actually happened to me some time ago. And I didn’t hit the barrier, because my car was equipped with stability control. In seconds, stability control did its magic, applied brake force to the necessary individual wheels to stabilise the car. I regained control of the vehicle without much effort, and could have proceeded with my journey if I had to. A potential disaster had been averted, and I got away with just a broken bumper and a tail lamp.

There are so many potential situations where stability control can potentially save your life. Another driver might be merging into your lane without bothering to check his wing mirrors to see if he’d be ploughing straight into you – and at highway speeds, an evasive manoeuvre could see you lose control as the car starts to fishtail.

Most people are unaware of what stability control is. The layman interprets car safety as being passive – which means the car must be good at saving your skin when you crash. He thinks the body must be “solid.” and he kicks the bumpers, shuts the hood and slams the door at the showroom to apparently test this by the sound the body parts make. This must be an acquired skill like wine tasting, as it doesn’t make sense to me at all. And then he counts the number of airbags in the car – the more, the better.

He also takes into account if the car has ABS, but he thinks this means the brakes are stronger, not the real meaning of ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System), which basically allows you to steer while you’re braking, so you can steer around the object that’s in your way. The point is, ABS isn’t passive safety, but it’s active safety, essentially a vehicle system that works to prevent you from crashing, rather than try to cushion the impact of a crash.

Another form of active safety is stability control. There are really not many people that know what stability control is. So when market surveys are done, this important safety feature doesn’t show up as being desired by the potential buyer, and so the bean-counters at the car company decide that they don’t need to put this feature in to sell cars

We have even seen cars that come with stability control in one generation and with the next generation, the feature is gone, all because market studies showed consumers did not ask for it, and so it didn’t matter when it came to sales numbers whether such an important safety feature was included or not.

Since 2009, Euro NCAP began awarding three Safety Assist points to a car if stability control is fitted as standard across the model range, or if it is an option on every variant and the manufacturer also expects to sell at least 95% of cars with the system as standard equipment.

From 2012, stability control has been regarded with such importance that Euro NCAP will only reward equipment with a five-star rating when ESC is fitted as standard across the whole of the model range, and the feature has also become compulsory for all new cars sold in the EU. The NHTSA has done that for 2012 as well.

Here are three very good videos that explain how stability control works. I reckon it does the job much better than trying to explain it in text.

SAMEOL!SAMEOL!..5 TALKING POINTS OF DA MATCH AS WD BE DONE BY INTELLECTS!

Roy Hodgson had waltzed through his first few matches as England manager exorcising ghosts wherever he went, though at least one considerable hoodoo remains. Confronted by a classy, if profligate, Italian side at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, the English heaved desperately to stay in the contest and then departed, almost inevitably, via a penalty shootout. It was their fifth defeat in a row when a contest has boiled down to efforts from 12 yards. To the lengthy list of those who have missed in the lottery can be added the Ashleys, Young and Cole, as the quarter‑final stage ushers the national team from a tournament yet again. Hodgson has achieved much in Poland and Ukraine. On a base level, he has inflicted a first competitive defeat on Sweden since 1967, and beaten a host nation at a finals. Those achievements should be considered encouraging. Yet this offered up proper context. England are still yet to eliminate a footballing powerhouse from the knockout stage away from Wembley, and that hoodoo will dog them still ahead of the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil and the 2016 European Championship in France.

2 But cling to the progress that has been made


Not that this campaign should be deemed a failure. Far from it. A certain amount of pride has been restored, particularly with those wins in the group stage, and shoots of progress are very much in evidence. The youngsters may have departed the turf at the end here in tears, but they will have learned from these experiences. Joe Hart, Jordan Henderson, Andy Carroll, Alex Oxlade‑Chamberlain and Theo Walcott will have benefited from the game‑time they enjoyed here. Phil Jones, Martin Kelly and Jack Butland have now tasted life at a major finals. And Danny Welbeck feels a fixture in this team's future. The Manchester United forward is still raw, but he was slippery in partnership with Wayne Rooney at times here and rugged even in helping out his defenders from set-pieces and in open play. He will cherish that winner against the Swedes, and should become a mainstay of the team – fitness permitting – that attempts to reach Brazil. There is promise to be found in this squad's youth.

3 The Italians remain a threat


Germany will hardly be quaking in their boots at the prospect of confronting the Azzurri in Warsaw on Thursday, but they will be warned. This Italy team will be pepped by progress into the last four and feel threatening. If they could add bite to their armoury, they would be imposing opponents. Twice they struck the woodwork here with Hart beaten, while the close‑range misses from Daniele De Rossi, Mario Balotelli and Antonio Nocerino defied belief. They monopolised the ball – something they will struggle to do against the Germans – but used it intelligently, largely courtesy of the gem in their midst. Andrea Pirlo was imperious, untouchable in central midfield throughout 120 minutes and conjuror of the cheekiest penalty imaginable to flummox Hart in the shootout. England tried and failed to snuff him out. Joachim Löw must find a way of preventing him conducting the semi-final.

4 England's possession play remains their weakest link


How England must have wished they boasted a player of Pirlo's class and calm quality in the centre of their midfield. Where the Italian dictated play, England were all huff and puff, their Achilles heel retained when it came to maintaining control of possession. The basic statistics were brutal come the final whistle. The Azzurri enjoyed the ball for 68% of the contest, Italy mustering 36 attempts to England's nine, the tally of those on target eight to one. There had been flashes in the opening exchanges of the quarter‑final where England had summoned rhythm when they had the ball – the early chance from Glen Johnson that was clawed away by the Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon coming at the culmination of arguably the team's best flowing move of the tournament – but they remain limited. Gary Neville had pinpointed the need for more incision and precision in the pass in the buildup to this fixture, aware as he was of the Azzurri's threat. That was to be the "next stage" of this team's development now that a semblance of defensive base had been established. It is a process that will take considerably more time to complete.

5 The old guard should not be discarded just yet


There may be calls for revolution now, albeit not as many as there had been after the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa, and some of this England team's elder statesmen may even consider whether their bodies will allow them to continue while club duties sap their energy. But the old guard should be persuaded against retiring just yet. The performances summoned by Cole and Steven Gerrard were superb at times, while Glen Johnson enjoyed his best game of the finals against the Azzurri. Then there was John Terry. The Chelsea centre-half's selection had been controversial, and he has a date ringed in his diary for 9 July at a magistrates' court back in London which might have been expected to play on his mind. The Chelsea defender has faded into the background off the pitch, but his displays in Ukraine have been gargantuan at times. It was his recovery run and block that snuffed out Mario Balotelli in the first half, and his leap to flick behind that denied the striker another clear sight of goal after the break. His partnership with Joleon Lescott, another to have risen to the challenge, started as unfamiliar but now feels like a strength.
