I like to compare the team as a person as a big person. And as every person, the team has a personality. For example, you can see that Atletico Madrid has this patience and this fight inside the page. Chelsea have taken opportunities whenever they happened, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona with trying to win everything every year. Some teams like Manchester City are creating this personality and identity and this is the number one reason why they seen a Pep Guardiola, one of the best coaches in the world. Teams also have fears, phobias complexes like Arsenal in the last decade.
There are great team that could win the Premier League and the champions. But somehow, whenever they play against Barcelona or Bayern Munich, they get smash teams as well. They do have this attitude of leading more than reaction or reacting more than needed. Well, the best is to use the appropriate approach based on the situation Here, I do remember the game between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid in the Champions League Final of 1516. As we all know, and what normally happens when these two teams face each other, Real Madrid elite takes the action and Atletico Madrid waits patiently then react. They could have only two or three contracts, you're in the whole game, but they would score all of them didn't was clever.
He didn't lead, he gave the ball to Atletico Madrid, and managed to stay in defense looking for contract. See Munich and his team weren't used to keep possession and play mostly in the other half of the pitch. They were out of their comfort zone. They didn't know how to effectively play that way, and then their possession was totally ineffective. Here as you can see, Atletico Madrid with 52% of full possession. 635 passes, Gabby and cookie with the most patches made Kazimir with the most clearances made Totally unusual stats.
If someone will tell me before the game that this is what's going to happen. I will call them crazy, but it did happen. As a football honors, you should know the team personality, how it is evolving and impacting the team's performance.
