Total domination by Belgium but not creating enough chances

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

They also had 2 PSG players, and other players from Barcelona, Liverpool, and Man Utd sitting on the bench.
That doesn't explain giving away the ball like turkeys at Thanksgiving.

Re: Euro 2024
Na pressure plus doing too much. When the Turkish players look left and right all they see is stars and big game players. Mourinho will be coaching in Turkey next season, watch other opposing coaches get mesmerized & forget how to coach and allow him win the league easily.txj wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2024 8:30 pmwiseone wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2024 7:59 pm It might have something to do with the fact that Türkiyewas playing against one of the best teams in the world.

Germany being affected by the playing surface. Heavy surface affects the tempo of the passing game.

This is being a very solid game management by Yakin...Swiss have controlled where Germany have the ball and clogged the passing lanes all game...

This is what a top striker does. But when your coach is banging a serpent-looking worthless player, he tends to selects him at the detriment of the team.

Re: Euro 2024
Fulkrug delivers. No suporise. Just start Fulkrug and Germany wins the Euros. Old school German striker but these GenZ coaches like Naglesman dey play false striker nonsense and puts his team in unnecessary danger

All strikers are not the same and everyone has their quality.
As a coach I'll not change anything here at all. He's a vital cog in the wheel coming off the bench...
The way the Swiss played, I though Naglesman was slow in changing things, especially in bringing on Raum...

Re: Euro 2024
True, but Fullkrug just increases the chances of a goal for Germany. 13 goals in 19 games and he's largely come from the bench for most of those games. This is a no-brainer.txj wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 9:33 pmdanfo driver wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 9:27 pm This is what a top striker does.

Re: Euro 2024
No Fulkrug is a better fit. Dude is an old school German striker like Beirhoff, Klose, Klinsman etc. Start him and Germany wins the Euros. This aint rocket science. It like Naglesman wants to play with 10 midfielders. this is why they have been struggling in major tournaments since 2014. Just play a traditional point man and win the damn competition alreadytxj wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 9:33 pmdanfo driver wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 9:27 pm This is what a top striker does.
