Title: knowing your opposition
Post by: byronkincaid on September 12, 2007, 11:03:02 AM
says in the paper today that John Terry couldn't name one player in the russian side. i'm no expert on football but that's quite worrying isn't it?

That is pathetic.  They should be watching videos of their games, they should know their weaknesses and strengths .  What does the manager and his team actually do?

I know the Premiership teams watch videos, use complex computer packages to show how players move around during the game to work out strategies and tactics.  Why not for internationals?  You should be confident that you can play your own game, but knowing the opposition will give you and advantage, no matter how little.

I'm sure they know all the players very well indeed, just tactics.
