Contain The aim of this mentality is to frustrate the opposition by reducing space, slowing things

down, keeping the ball, wasting the time as much as possible and to clear the ball long when out of
risk-free options. Unlike the Defensive Match mentality, it is not looking to score on the counter-
attack, just not to concede. As possession and frustration is the priority, more players than usual will
be kept behind the ball.

Sadraj - Cilj ovog mentaliteta je frustrirati opoziciju smanjujui prostor, usporavajui stvari,
odravajui loptu, troenjem vremena to je vie mogue i ienjem lopte dugo dok se ne izbjegavate
mogunosti bez rizika. Za razliku od mentalnog obrambenog podudaranja, ne eli postii protunapad,
samo da ne prizna. Kao posjedovanje i frustracija je prioritet, vie igraa nego obino e se uvati iza
lopte.

Defensive This mentality is best employed for matches you are expected to lose and in which you expect
your opponent to put you under extended pressure. It aims to keep men behind the ball, restrict space in
your half, to slow things down and to frustrate your opposition. It relies on direct balls to the forwards
followed by sharp and quick passing to score goals on the counter.

Obrambeni - Ovaj mentalitet najbolje se koristi za utakmice za koje se oekuje da izgubite i za koje
oekujete da e vas va protivnik staviti pod produeni pritisak. Cilj mu je zadrati mukarce iza
lopte, ograniiti prostor u vaoj polovici, usporiti stvari i sprijeiti vae protivljenje. Oslanja se na
izravne kuglice prema naprijed, nakon ega slijedi otra i brza donoenje za postizanje golova na
alteru.

Counter This mentality is best employed for matches in which you are expected to lose the battle for
possession but feel you can break with some regularity. It aims to keep men behind the ball when
defending but to provide quick support to attacking players when the ball is in the final third. It relies on
getting the ball forward quickly enough to expose the spaces behind aggressive full-backs and wingers,
with players tending to stay deeper and maintain defensive shape if the break looks like coming to nothing.

Counter - Ovaj mentalitet najbolje se koristi za utakmice u kojima se od vas oekuje da izgubite bitku za
posjedovanje, ali osjeate da se moete slomiti pravilno. Cilj mu je zadrati mukarce iza lopte dok brani,
ali pruiti brzu podrku napadaima kada je lopta u treoj. Oslanja se na dobivanje naprijed naprijed
dovoljno brzo da se izloe prostori iza agresivnih potpuna lea i krila, s igraima koji se ele zadrati
dublje i odravati obrambeni oblik ako se predah izgleda kao da ne dolazi u nita.
Standard This is arguably the most important of all match mentalities. By carefully balancing risk and
reward , it enables the manager to assess the match situation and how well the team is playing prior to
switching to a more specialized tactical plan. It is an ideal starting mentality for all short-odds matches;
by carefully watching the match the manager can decide to be more aggressive or cautious or to stick with
the standard approach if things are going well.

Standard - Ovo je vjerojatno najvaniji od svih mentalnih utakmica. Paljivo balansiranjem rizika i nagrade,
omoguuje menaderu da procijeni situaciju i kako dobro igra momad prije prebacivanja na specijalizirani
taktiki plan. Idealan je poetni mentalitet za sve kratko-odds utakmice; paljivo promatrajui utakmicu
menader moe odluiti biti agresivniji ili oprezniji ili se pridravati standardnog pristupa ako se stvari
dobro odvijaju.

Control This mentality is best employed for matches in which you believe you are the stronger team but
are wary of your opponents counter-attacking threat. It aims to move the ball around the park and to
patiently probe the final third to find space as and when it opens up. Although full-backs overlap and
midfielders break ahead of forwards, they will generally only do so in relatively risk-free situations and
will usually sit back and help the midfield maintain possession until chances open up.

Kontrola - Ovaj mentalitet najbolje je upotrijebiti za utakmice u kojima vjerujete da ste jai tim, ali
pazite na protivniku protivljenju prijetnji. Cilj mu je kretanje kugle oko parkova i strpljivo ispitivanje
posljednje treine kako bi se pronaao prostor kao i kada se otvara. Iako se potpune lea preklapaju, a
srednjokolci prijeu naprijed, obino e to uiniti samo u relativno rizinim situacijama i obino e se
opustiti i pomoi polufinalu zadrati posjed sve dok se anse ne otvore.

Attacking This mentality is best employed for matches that you are favorites to win and expect to
dominate possession in your opponents half. It aims to exploit the space in the final third by employing a
fast tempo and direct, attacking passing supported by a defensive mentality aimed at recycling possession.
It focuses heavily on getting players forward and into space and allows them the creative freedom to
express themselves.

Napad - Ovaj mentalitet najbolje se koristi za utakmice koje ste favoriti za pobjedu i oekujte da
dominiraju posjed u polovici vaeg protivnika. Cilj mu je iskoristiti prostor u posljednjoj treini
koritenjem brzog tempusa i izravnog, napadakog prolaza podranog obrambenim mentalitetom
usmjerenim na recikliranje posjeda. Snano se usredotouje na privlaenje igraa u prostor i omoguava im
kreativnu slobodu da se izraze.

Overload This mentality is intended for situations where you need to go for broke to try to score a goal.
It aims to overload the final-third by employing ultra-fast tempo, ultra direct, attacking-orientated
passing supported by a defensive mentality aimed at recycling possession. It focuses heavily on throwing
players forward and into space to try to create goalscoring opportunities.

Preoptereenje - Ovaj mentalitet je namijenjen situacijama u kojima trebate ii za razbijanje pokuaja

postizanja cilja. Cilj mu je preopteretiti konanu treu upotrebu ultrabrzog tempo, ultra direktnog,
napadno orijentiranog prolaenja podranog obrambenim mentalitetom usmjerenim na recikliranje posjeda.
Usredotouje se snano na bacanje igraa naprijed i u svemir kako bi pokuali stvoriti prilike za postizanje
ciljeva.
 HIGLY STRUCTURED

With this approach, each player is expected to focus on a single phase of play within a very rigid
system. Defenders are responsible only for the defensive phase, midfielders are only responsible
for the transition phase and attackers are only responsible for the attacking phase. The team will
be expected to keep its shape at all times, playing very precise, controlled football with players
allowed very little creative freedom. The playing style might be very predictable, which is great for
a defensive approach, as the players will stick to the formation chosen.

A very rigid playing style requires less of the players than a more fluid playing style. Players will in
general require better teamwork, positioning and anticipation in order to keep its shape. This
fluidity is more about the overall team players and their individual player attributes when choosing
player roles within a very rigid playing style.

Ovim pristupom svaki igra se oekuje da se usredotoi na jednu fazu igre unutar vrlo vrstog
sustava. Branitelji su odgovorni samo za obrambenu fazu, srednji su igrai jedini odgovorni za
prijelaznu fazu, a napadai su jedini odgovorni za napadnu fazu. Oekuje se da e momad zadrati
svoj oblik u svakom trenutku, igrati vrlo precizan, kontrolirani nogomet s igraima doputen vrlo malo
kreativne slobode. Stil za igru moe biti vrlo predvidljiv, to je odlino za obrambeni pristup, jer e
se igrai drati odabranog odgoja.

Vrlo kruti stil igranja zahtijeva manje igraa od tekueg igranja. Igrai e openito zahtijevati bolji
timski rad, pozicioniranje i anticipaciju kako bi zadrali svoj oblik. Ova je fluidnost vie o ukupnim
igraima momadi i njihovim individualnim atributima igraa pri odabiru uloga igraa u vrlo krutom
stilu igranja.

STRUCTURED With this approach, players are expected to contribute to fewer phases of play
than with a Balanced philosophy. Central defenders are responsible only for the defensive phase.
The fullbacks and more defensive midfielders are responsible for both defensive and transition
phases. The wingers and more attacking midfielders are responsible for both transition and
attacking phases. The forwards are responsible only for the attacking phase. The team will be
expected to keep its shape and play precise, controlled football with players allowed less creative
freedom.

A rigid playing style will require more of the individual players in terms of improved technical skills
such as defenders will also require improved off the ball, decisions and anticipation than a very rigid
style.

vrsto - Uz ovaj pristup, igrai se oekuju da doprinesu manje faze igre nego s balansiranom
filozofijom. Sredinji branitelji odgovorni su samo za obrambenu fazu. Fullbackovi i vie obrambeni
igrai su odgovorni za obrambene i prijelazne faze. Kritiari i napadai vie su odgovorni za
tranzicijske i napadake faze. Naprijed su odgovorni samo za fazu napada. Oekuje se da e momad
zadrati svoj oblik i igrati precizan, kontrolirani nogomet s igraima doputeno manje kreativne
slobode.

Kruti stil igranja zahtijevat e vie pojedinih igraa u smislu poboljanih tehnikih vjetina kao to su
branitelji e takoer zahtijevati poboljanje lopte, odluke i oekivanja od vrlo krutog stila.7
FLEXIBLE With this approach, players are expected to contribute to more than one phase of play.
Defenders and more defensive midfielders are responsible for both defensive and transition phases and
more attacking midfielders and forwards are responsible for both transition and attack phases. The team
will find balance between movement of players within the system and keeping its shape, which is the
preferred option for many playing styles.

A balanced style will demand more creativity and technical attributes for defenders as well as improved
defensive attributes for supporting players of the attacking line. By choosing a balanced approach you will
be able to let some players of the attacking line to roam from position in order to be more unpredictable
when attacking, compared to a very rigid style.

FLEKSIBILNO - Ovim pristupom igrai se oekuju da pridonose vie od jedne faze igre. Branitelji i vie
obrambeni srednji igrai su odgovorni za obrambene i prijelazne faze, a napadai i napadai u napadu su
odgovorni za tranzicijske i napadake faze. Tim e pronai ravnoteu izmeu kretanja igraa unutar
sustava i odravanja njegovog oblika, to je preferirana opcija za mnoge stilove igranja.

Balansirani stil e zahtijevati vie kreativnosti i tehnikih atributa za branitelje, kao i poboljane
obrambene atribute za podrku igraima napadake linije. Odabirom uravnoteenog pristupa moi ete
dopustiti nekim igraima napadake linije da lutaju s pozicije kako bi bili nepredvidljiviji kada napadaju, u
usporedbi s vrlo krutim stilom.

Fluid With this approach, players are expected to contribute to more phases of play than with the
Balanced philosophy. The team is split into broad attacking and defensive units with the more creative
players responsible for the attacking phase and the more defensively disciplined players responsible for
the defensive phase. However, players from each unit are expected to move into the transition phase
when such opportunity arises. The team will be encouraged to play more flowing football with players
allowed more creative freedom.

A fluid style will demand far more of your players as they will require improved creativity, flair and
technical attributes as well as off the ball and positioning. Players will also require better anticipation and
positioning in order to support players who are attacking, for example by dropping back in order to
protect the defensive line.

Tekuina - Ovim pristupom igrai se oekuju da doprinesu vie faza igranja nego s Balansiranom
filozofijom. Tim je podijeljen na iroke napadake i obrambene jedinice s kreativnim igraima odgovornim
za napadnu fazu i vie obrambeno discipliniranim igraima koji su odgovorni za obrambenu fazu. Meutim,
oekuje se da e igrai iz svake jedinice prijei u prijelaznu fazu kada takva prilika nastaje. Tim e biti
potaknut da igraju vie tekui nogomet s igraima doputeno vie kreativne slobode.

Stil fluid e zahtijevati daleko vie vaih igraa jer e zahtijevati poboljanu kreativnost, njuh i tehnike
atribute, kao i lopta i pozicioniranje. Igrai e takoer zahtijevati bolje predvianje i pozicioniranje kako
bi podrali igrae koji napadaju, na primjer odustali kako bi zatitili obrambenu liniju.
Very Fluid With this approach, all players are expected to contribute to all phases of play within a very
fluid system. Attackers must be able to defend and defenders must be able to attack, with players relying
on their reading of the game and each others movement to shift in and out of each phase at the right
moment. The team will be encouraged to play free-flowing football with players allowed high levels of
creative freedom, similar to the Total Football.

A very fluid approach will be more unpredictable and demanding of your players as each player will require
both improved defensive attributes as well as more attacking attributes in additional to flair. A more fluid
style will make it more likely to experiment with weird formations and player positioning, as shape is less
important for a far more unpredictable attack.

Vrlo tekuina - Ovim se pristupom svi igrai oekuju da doprinesu svim fazama igranja u vrlo fluidnom
sustavu. Napadai moraju biti u stanju obraniti i branitelji moraju biti u stanju napasti, a igrai se
oslanjaju na njihovo itanje igre i svaki drugi pokret kako bi se pomaknuli i izlazili iz svake faze u pravom
trenutku. Tim e biti potaknut da igraju slobodno tee nogomet s igraima doputeno visoke razine
kreativne slobode, slino Total Footballu.

Vrlo fluidni pristup e biti nepredvidljiviji i zahtjevniji vaim igraima jer e svaki igra zahtijevati i
poboljane obrambene atribute, kao i dodatne atribute napadajui dodatnu njuh. Tekui stil e uiniti
vjerojatnije da e eksperimentirati s "udnim" formacijama i pozicioniranjem igraa, jer je oblik manje
vano za daleko nepredvidljiviji napad.
