Behind the Scenes - Middle Third

In this video Tony Popovic highlights an aspect of our Game Model. To be able to bring this Game Model to life, we need players who are 'Creative and Bold'.

Creative and Bold – What will we see?

• Players who are risk takers* on the field and play with imagination, belief and courage
• Players who can execute highly adaptable skills and problem solve under pressure
• Players who are self organising - players that transfer best practice based on tactical and experiential knowledge and can adapt within the match in order to perform
• Players are aware of standards and boundaries, within which they feel free to express themselves
• Players who take personal responsibility for their performances, and always try to identify what they can do to improve[rather than blame external factors].

* By ‘risk takers’ we are referring to players who are prepared to step outside their comfort zones and challenge themselves to find new solutions.
