gudlak langhe :)

Match 1 has been played. I tried some things, some did work, others did not.

WRONG:
- I tried to play with 2 high wingbacks, to stop their 2 wingers, that stayed on the midfield and didnt go deep. Problem was their wingers had enough PM to give the pass before our wingbacks reached them.
- They usually play 2 attackers, 1 in centre, 1 next to it. I tried to play our defs straight on them, therefore 3 central defs. Wrong thing was that I scouted and I placed the outer of the central defs a bit too much to the center, leaving their 2nd striker a bit free. Obvious my fault, for what I apologise.


GOOD:
- wide offensive mids: especially during 2nd half, with Jati playing, we had some nice passes between the 2 offensive mids, which disturbed their defense quite well.
- Striker and very offensive mid (I lacked a 2nd decent striker) crossing all the time. Something I copied (at least, tried to) from Belgian NT manager Hellsangel. This resulted in our goal.


Decent opportunities from Indonesia:
The report tells us about 4 chances. I remember this ones:
- Free kick on Crossbar
- Rebound of the Free kick next to goal after header of Krisdjianto
- the goal
- distance shot from Krisdjianto

Conceded chances:
They had 17 tries according to the report. Scoring 7 of them gives Srbija a very high finishing percentage, quite uncommon for sokker. Most goals were conceded due to their better players: faster, more technical (Wayhudi got dribbled straight!) and very fast passing, which broke down our organisation on defensive areas. 3 goals I remember:
- Strike at laksono, their striker faster than our defender and laksono, resulting in goal
- strike at laksono, whose keeping was too low to keep the shot out of the goal.
- and of course the header that ended in a goal, because I placed my defender on wrong spot.

Tomorrow we play against Israel. We still have forms troubles and 2 A players are slightly injured.
