And we still should have won comfortably really
still need to mix it up, at our best, our very best, we would work the ball and our players into great counter press positions to win any second balls and undo sides by still going more direct WHEN we had players best positioned to win any second balls, and either make a break through from the ball finding it's target or creating a new point of attack and attacking very quickly and directly from the position in which we won the second ball
The beauty of that is, opposition sides can't drill or prepare their players to stop that, you can't stop it and it constantly breaks their positioning and tactical set up, creating uncertainty
