The preparation of the game is the key factor to have ambition of the good result. The preparation of the exercises, the game plan, how to adapt the game model to the opponent, which kind of set pieces to use, everything starts from analisys of the opponent.

How i analise the opponent

• Individuality (charachteristics of key players)
• Coach characteristics (game leading, time out....)
• How to exploit weaknesses
• 3 factors for win the game
• 3 factors for loose the game
• possible game plan with options
