Tag Archive for 'Sassuolo'

The football team promoted in Serie A, Sassuolo,  has paid heavily the first two matches taking 6 goals. The coach called for greater cohesion to get out of this negative moment. As always the question at this issue is not so much what you ask for as a team, but how the coach will teach it. Depended on me, I would like to start from the results of the matches, providing significant information on the team’s mentality. In fact, in both games the first goal has been taken within the last 5 minutes of the first half. Similarly, the second goal was taken after about 20 minutes of play in the second half (60° and 63° minute). Therefore in relation to the first goal, it’s to know how to improve cohesion in the final minutes, when the players probably imagine  to have already ended the game and play with less fighting spirit. Regarding the second goal, it must be analyzed the difficulty to maintain for a long period the concentration and the cohesion in the game. In each case, the team had failure after half of the second time: how to recognize and prevent this negative moment. So it should be good to remember that the team cohesion is essential, but obviously the coach must not only make a statement but to find solutions for the moments of weakness.
