Recent alternating results of many football teams (Roma, Inter, Napoli and Milan) come also from their mental weaknesses. Combativeness and play continuity it seems to me two problems suffered by these football teams. Continuity of the game is knowing what to do and do it, also during the negative moments of the game or whenthe team is under pressure by the opponents. In these situations  the players have to think: “This is my job and I have to go do it.” In these difficult moments, each player must return to the basic elements of his performance, he must be engaged in to keep things simple with the knowledge that in this way the opponents will feel his determination and they may feel under pressure to not be able to make the play they want. Play with continuity is closely associated with the fighting spirit, that is the attitude that every player has to show when he is in the field. Combativeness and continuity of play must therefore always be present regardless of the team technical and tactical level, because they determine the attitude with which each team has to face the game. Renounce to have this play style or show it intermittently is, in my opinion, one of the major mental errors that every coach should be taught to avoid.
