Can Terry Venables leads the underdog to legend status – The Great Football Experiment

Terry Venables is a legend, but does he have what it takes to turn a team of average footballers into a real club? That is something that people are waiting to see, as the Nivea Great Football Experiment takes form. Nivea has gotten into the business of football. More accurately, it has gotten into the business of underdog stories. The company has taken applications from all across Europe from teams of amateur footballers who want to see if they have what it takes. After that process, Nivea chose Ivory F.C., a club that will undergo intense training to show that preparation really is everything. 
 
So where does Venables come into play with this? He and Ray Wilkins are among the world-class coaches that will take this team of once-average footballers and prepare them for the ultimate game. After going through a period of intense, England-style training, the team will get to take on a team of English legends. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity where Ivory will see what it is made of. This won't happen until the club goes through training, though, as Nivea wants to show that preparation is the most important thing. Whether or not Venables can help Ivory via the Nivea Great Football Experiment is a story that will play out. 
 
Ivory come in with poor fitness and only average form. Though there is some skill there, the club just is not on professional level or anything near it. A lot of things can change in a short period of time, though. With the coaching of Venables and Wilkins, the team is preparing for the test. They are working hard to earn better fitness levels and improve their form. More importantly, the team is getting both the technical and tactical advice of a coaching staff that has been through the wars before. At the end of it all, there is no question that the underdog club will be much better off for having undergone these challenges. The question, of course, is whether Ivory F.C. will be able to put a stamp on the project by taking down the English football legends.
