Achieving any goal, big or small, requires planning. The doors of directions cannot be opened until the roadmap to achieve the goal is prepared. Planning and courage are the two wings to reach success. The pinnacle of achievement can be reached only through joint effort of both. The roughness in Ekad makes even the distance of the hand of Jojos. With Central-Asia and the Arab world vying to host the World Cup for the first time, and with the magic of on-field warfare overshadowing the clamor of off-field controversies, the question of who will emerge as the champion is on everyone's mind.

The 32 countries participating in the football Mahakumbh held every four years have fielded their superstars with the dream of world victory. On the football field, there are great players who go head-to-head in battle, but real football is played in the mind of the coach standing on the sidelines. Players full of passion and passion like Tejila Tokhar are in the hands of the team's coach, who constantly instructs the players while planning how to make his team a winner from the ever-changing conditions on the field.

The football World Cup stage gives each country a chance to showcase its skills and planning, and in this team sport, individual talent often outweighs a team of no-big-name but cohesive teams. Saudi Arabia's victory over Argentina in the opening round of the Qatar Football World Cup is further proof of the fact that hard work often outweighs the natural bounty of talent. However, behind the victory of Saudi Arabia in the match against Argentina, French coach Hervé Renald's spectacular strategy was also the reason and football experts also went crazy over it.

Renald expertly prepared his defense cadre, sending Argentina's attacking line off-side 10 times. This resulted in Argentina becoming more cautious in attack and reducing their numbers, after which the Saudis increased their attack and scored two goals against three attacks on the opponent's goal. Renald himself has been a defender and has led Zambia and Ivory Coast to African Nations Champions. Under his guidance, the Saudi team has won 18 matches, which is the most under the guidance of a foreign coach. Also, Renald created a sensation in the first World Cup match of his career as a coach.

The most high-profile name among World Cup coaches is Didier Deschamps, the coach of the defending champions France. He has a unique record of winning World Cup trophies as a captain and as a coach. In 1998, he was the captain when France won the World Cup thanks to Zidane's magic. He has been the coach of France for a decade and this is his third football trophy as a coach after winning the last World Cup. In his 10-year career as the coach of France, he has won 85 matches and 27 draws in 133 matches and lost only 21 matches. This figure is a measure of his skill.

England coach Gareth Southgate, who has emerged as a title contender, is also proving to be more aggressive and influential with time like Old Vine. His combination with players including captain Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Raheem Sterling and the experience of playing in the 1998 World Cup and two European championships for England is enough to prove him as a football superbrain. Southgate's one-touch game, which took England to the semi-finals in the last World Cup, can weigh heavily on better teams. Compared to Southgate's strategy, Brazilian coach Tite has a slightly different outlook.

As cricket has a place in India, football has a place in Brazil. Tite has held his own for six years amid high-profile players and many harsh critics. Brazil go into the match at Tate hoping to end their twenty-year World Cup drought after their quarter-final defeat at the last World Cup. Tite's Brazil squad has the passion, passion and aggression seen under Brazilian legend Mario Zagalo, and they look set to make Pele's dream of a sixth World Cup come true.

This is the third term of Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal, who is highly respected in world football. He won the bronze medal with the Netherlands in the 2014 World Cup. However, the Netherlands could not qualify for the World Cup in 2018. Of course, Dutch team coach Van Gaal, who is playing in Qatar with new players, has now prepared a roadmap for success on the World Cup field after winning the battle against prostate cancer.

The challenge for the German team is to restore lost glory to Hansi Flick, who won a record six titles with Bayern Munich. Yokim Law's successor is known for his flick cross over ball technique. Because of this, a defensive team with a focus on one side can be shocked by suddenly changing the side of the ball. Spain's golden generation star Luis Enrique has played three World Cups from 1994 to 2002 and after a flop show in the last World Cup, he has taken the responsibility of making Spain a superpower in the World Cup. Enrique, who has coached the likes of Messi, Neymar and Suarez, is gearing up to lead Spain back to the top, known for their distinctive passing style, tiki-taka. African teams Senegal and Cameroon are coached by their own former World Cup stars Elio Cisse and Rigoberto Song.

After America's Klinsmann, America has high hopes from Greg Berhalter. Berhalter has played two World Cups and is now ready to work his magic in the World Cup after leading America's Newlook team to the continental tournament title. Santos, who coached Portuguese superstar Ronaldo's team to Euro champions, is the coach of the team in this second consecutive World Cup. However, he faces the challenge of reviving Portugal, which is mired in internal disputes. The world will be watching as Argentina coach Lionel Scolani settles the team back together now.

Japan have handed over the reins to their own former player, Hajime Moriasu, who led the team to the final of the Asian Cup. Their counter attack strategy is proving to be effective. This is the last chance for Croatian coach Dalic and Belgium's Roberto Matnez to show their magic. While Mexico's coach Gerardo Matano and John Herdman's mind game, who led Canada to the FIFA World Cup in 36 years, can prove to be a shock for the teams considered as superpowers.
