Coaching - A methodology for managing a football team #109259

4–5-1 is a formation that ensures both defence protection and balance and, when developing offensive game against an opposing team under pressure, a combination of both simple and practical attacking game. Coaching a team at this level also means facing daily difficulties, confronting others, produce ideas, take decisions on many fronts, dictate rules and ensure that those rules are followed. Players themselves, during the season, will acknowledge that compliance with the rules and discipline represent the basic requirements for working well and achieving results. I believe, therefore, that the best way to enforce the concept of democracy in a group is to impose the respect of roles and hierarchy. A positive mentality is the key to success. Players can only improve mentally, physically and tactically when they have a positive mentality. This is why a coach should always aim to build and consolidate it within a group.
