How to win a Soccer Match

If anyone in the game like myself reads this, see what you think

My ways:

Psychological, there's a mental element to a player, how he feels about his game, himself, and things which generally have no effect, but he thinks they do, like how the played last week, that's a huge play down on the mind of a player, if he thinks they played badly last week he can become down about it, put him off moving on.

Of course, putting your head in the good side, like having had a win in the match before, telling yourself to do better after a loss before. Or in fact telling yourself your team is "better" than the opposition works, a huge part of the performance of a player is in his own mind, and how he feels going into it.

Managerial influence:

Managers have a lot to do in a game, in a big game they are very important to it besides picking the team sheet, they need to know what to say to players, and how to treat different players, certain players will need building up, others bringing down to earth, those who need bringing down will be the "Flashy" players who play well one week and think their gods gift to earth for the next game, when they come in they need to be told they were good, but they need to get their head in this game now, and do just as well last week, not showered in praise.

Those pessimists amongst the team, will need to be brought up, in a nutshell, the opposite of your others. They need to be told their capable of doing this, then drop in the idea that they just have to try harder, after the match you tell them they did well and all is well.

"When everything connects":

My philosaphy. A good match is when everything connects on the field, when everything goes right, and if that happens, the result will come.

That for me, sums it up.

Strong Defense: 

This is always key, I'm not a fan of the theory of "they score 5 we score 6" personally, I believe that a match can be won in a flashy nice "sexy" way, but that is never the priority, the priority is the win, at the end of the day the league doesn't give you points for playing nice.

A team that knows eachother:

Something key in Sports, and indeed anything, is know the people around you, trust them, get along with them, that's how you do well, you play 11 of the best players in the world who don't know eachother against 11 that do but aren't as great, the result will go the the latter.
