Deep dives
Playing against top teams
When playing against top teams, it is important to consider the different approaches teams can take. Some teams stick with their preferred style of play and go toe-to-toe with the top teams. Others are more tactically flexible and adapt their style to counter the strengths of the top teams. There are also teams that are naturally more defensive and rely on their solid defensive structures. Each approach has its advantages and challenges, and it often depends on the personnel, budget, and overall strategy of the team.
