"F***ing hell man. It's f***ing life or death!"

If you are a scholar, you will encounter authoritarian leadership. You need to be prepared for that or you will not last long in that environment

The rant by Vincent Kompany illustrates a wider problem within the game

This week a video went viral of former Burnley FC manager Vincent Kompany, who has since moved to manage FC Bayern Munich, yelling at a player during a training session. In the video, Kompany can be heard yelling:

"Don't even fucking test me. Do not fucking test me. Enough with the fucking moaning. Play fucking football.
What gives you the fucking right to moan about everything? Fucking play! How many times do I have to tell you to stop fucking moaning?
What, have you got something you want to communicate to the team? You want to communicate something, you're a big boy? You're a big boy you want to talk?
Your body language is fucking shit and unacceptable. Play! Fucking hell man. It's fucking life or death! Fucking play!"
