A New Era In Akademisk Boldklub
Ozzy Boudreaux was presented to the news media on a sunny afternoon in Gladsaxe. The 60 year-old has taken a huge leap by taking the reigns with the professional team in Denmark. What makes it more interesting is that Ozzy does not have the foggiest idea of how to speak, or understand, the Danish language. Luckily, most of the people he has encountered so far speak English, but it will be interesting to see how he handles it when the language is more of a barrier then an aid to communication.
Boudreaux entered the press room to take a few questions from the press. Ozzy sat down and took a sip of his coffee before taking his first question.
“Mr Boudreaux, how does it feel to be taking over a football club in a country where you do not speak the language?”
~ The classic answer is that ‘football is a language unto itself….’ but the truth is, I am not sure how to deal with this. I hope to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can. I will also have to rely on players who speak English to relay my instructions to the other players. We will figure something out. Also, please call me Ozzy…all of you. 'Mr Boudreaux' makes me sound old.
“Mr Boud…I mean…Ozzy…you said that calling you ‘Mr Boudreaux’ makes you sound old…but you are just 6 days short of your 61st birthday. So doesnt that make you a little old?”
~Okay, that is a legitimate question, but isnt age just a stage of mind? I dont feel old, I feel ‘experienced in life’ and I feel that experience can assist me in building this team back into what it used to be.
“Ozzy. What do you think about the history of the club? Have you had a chance to research it?”
~ I had the interview via Zoom while I was at home in North Carolina. It was sort of out of the blue…kind of unexpected for me to be honest. They called the next day to offer me the job and even booked my flight here. So I spent the flight reading up on the team. What a history! I am ready for the chance to write a new chapter in this inspiring story. Yea, things have been tough for the last few seasons, but that is what is going to make the success we achieve even better.
“What are your plans for the squad?"
~ I am not sure what say at this point. I have not had a chance to evaluate the team on the pitch yet. I have not had a chance meet the coaches either. That will be the first thing I tackle.
That' was the end of the press conference. Short and sweet. We were told that he would be doing one of these every week. Hopefully he can provide more of an analysis than what we got today.
