Subject: [NT] WC19 Qualification

Hello guys
our first game will be game against Lietva. They have experienced manager that is leading
the team for a long time. He prefers 5-3-2 wing tactics and they had quite a powerful wing.
Seems their defense is not so strong so i will try to exploit that part.
I think we have better players and my first plan is to play similar tactics to him that could easyly be switched to 3 striker scheme.
Of course i will know better after the form update on Thursday.
If you have any suggestions or ideas i could consider them.

So i decided to go with 5-3W-2 my choice is that the best mid Skolak is in form and he we be more productive on the wing.
Have doubts in the midfield and defense but here are the line up i picked for now.

1 Václav Krátký GK
2 Patrik Volek DEF
3 Dominik Broum DEF
4 Petr Rachůnek DEF
5 Kryštof Kunc DEF
6 Albert Velkopopovický DEF
7 Libor Exner MID
8 Erik Dofek MID
9 Dominik Školák MID
10 Mirek Skočdopol ATT
11 David Havíř ATT

12 Milan Skuhravý GK
13 Vilém Ochmelka DEF
14 Tomáš Bříza MID
15 Robert Kareta ATT
16 Zdeněk Lačný ATT

any suggestions or if you see mistakes let me know
second tactics will be with 3 strikers and number 7 will be the striker if i decide to go with number 8 will swap the substitutions

Jak už jsem ti psal v mailu, raději bych tolik nespoléhal na Skočdopola - v poslední době hrává strašně ;-) Havíř je daleko spolehlivější a myslím si, že by to měl být on, kdo bude kopat penalty místo Skočdopola. Navíc bych Havíře nestřídal a radši vystřídal Skočdopola :-)

Dále bych si rozmyslel toho Břízu. Podle mě nehraje moc dobře. Uvažoval bych buď o Pálenkovi (nadějný hráč, hraje celkem slušně), nebo bych možná dokonce zkusil Groška. Ta jeho forma je stále ještě bídná, ale hráč je to parádní. Nakonec velmi dobrá forma není až tak zlá - a na těch posledních 20 minut by byl podle mě lepší než Bříza :-)

Hlavně si ale pořádně zkontroluj příkazy. Zdá se mi, že tam jsou nějaké problémy se změnou taktik, které by v nejhorším případě mohly skončit tím, že buď bude hrát útočník v záloze, nebo naopak.

Jinak mi to přijde fajn a těším se zítra na zápas. Hodně štěstí! :-)

------------------------

As I already wrote you in the mail, I would suggest relying less on Skocdopol, he has been awful recently ;-) Havir is much more reliable - so I guess he should be the one who should take the penalty kicks instead of Skocdopol. Moreover, I would leave Havir play the whole match and I would swap Skocdopol :-)

Next, I would prefer using somebody else instead of Briza. I don't think he is playing that well. I would think either of Palenka (promising player who plays fairly well) or perhaps it might be worth trying out Grosek. I know, his form is still awful, but he is an amazing player - and after all, very good form is already playable. I think he would be a better option for those final 20 minutes than Briza :-)

Finally, but the most importantly, check carefully the conditional orders. There are some problems related to tactic swaps, which might in the worst case end up with striker playing as a midfielder, or vice versa.

Apart of that, I think it's fine and I am really looking forward to the match. Good luck! :-)

Co třeba zkusit Voskovce...forma taky stoupá

Voskovce jsem taky zvažoval. Ortwin se mi ho ale snažil vymluvit... ;-)

jaj, nějaká tatra zas :P

To víš, šedou eminenci musím poslouchat :-P

Nic proti Voskovcovi, ale brilantní příhry...měl jsi mu je dotrénovat. :P

beztak je už před skokem :P

Dolů? ;-)

to by byl pád, ne?

Když skočíš s padákem tak taky padáš :-P

/edit: I když Voskovec to dost možná má bez padáku ;-)
(edited)

no zlomek sekundy stoupáš, pak dosáhneš vrcholu a pak už je jen pád :-) Nicméně to je "seskok", ne? :P

A není Voskovec blízko seskoku? :P

rozhodně skoku, přihrávek u mě dostal fůru

tactic orders:
in defense, when I play 5 defs, regarding positions.. 2..3..4..5..6 ..I prefer to choose 3 or 5 to guard other def positions. I consider 2,4,6 most important position in that formation(*) - if I want to defend opponent wing by 5 defs. I choose 3 or 5 based on position of his strikers. this is better if you dont know, if he might suprise you with mirrored tactic.

Guarding by one of the half backs is also ok for me, but I would choose, which side is important and let the other not guarded, since you do not want to happend that your wing-defending def will go to the other side.

Both situation will also slightly cut numers of orders which I would leave for some situation in mid.
anyway, in your list, Popovický should be guarding 2 and Volek 6.

Midfield
I would go for change on wing between 65 and 80 minute. But this depends on how much will wing be running, but generaly I would prefer change on that position. Bříza is ok substitute for wing.
I would also consider Pindík, but I think regarding your plan Bříza is better in offense.

Attack
I second ostulc in leting Havíř make penalty kick. He also should be playing the whole match.

..there is possibility to substitute wing for Lačný as 3rd attacker in case of tactic change, which would be my preference probably, and at 75-80 Kareta for Skočdopole anyway, but it would require change in tactics (7 for 9)

as for change tactic check, I would go for 50' and 65-70'

75, always Kareta on position 10
75, wining by at least 2 goals, Lačný on position 11
75, wining by at least 2 goals, Bříza on position 9
50, losing by at least 1 goal, Lačný on position 7
65, drawing or losing, Lačný on position 7
50, losing by at least 1 goal, Change tactics for Additional tactic
65, drawing or losing, Change tactics for Additional tactic

How does it sounds to you?

anyway, good luck tomorrow :)


(*).. but I used to play those 3 defs close yeach other in bottom two positions, so absence of one of them is not so crucial. This migh be different in your tactic.. and not working well.
