Tactical Decisions in Football Matches

Like, if you are winning 1 0,

for example, and you change a midfielder or a striker and you put a defender in the

last 10 15 minutes,

you're playing with a back five all of a sudden,

because you saw from outside that they are

playing with really high fullbacks or whatever reason.

Inside, the players,

you see that he's taken a striker off,

he's put a defensive player on.

So automatically, your mindset is, oh, the coach wants us to defend,

we have to sit back.

And you attract pressure and you invite them to have the ball more and you invite

them to attack you more and to be more dangerous.

And the more they are on your pitch, yeah, one day it can

happen that you can kill them on counterattack and score the second goal.

But 80 90 of the time, it backfires,

because you invite pressure and then there's a penalty,

there's a little free kick or cross, rebound.
