The friendlies are an opportunity to look at different players and tactics.
People talk about tactics, but when you look at it, tactics are just players. You change things so that the team can get the most out of the skills they have to offer, but you don't go any further than that.
There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring. In the tactical area, I think I just have more than most other players.
Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes.
The first league game always feels different from the pre-season friendlies.
I enjoyed the NFL. I respected the players. It was a great opportunity to learn a lot of things, but the challenges were a little different, and it didn't seem that you could control your own destiny, especially in terms of how you could bring players to the team.
I've been watching a whole heap of video footage of different players on different teams and how different players get the football. But the best way I learn is getting out there and playing.
I like to study everything: the way to be dangerous when you are attacking; what the players should do when you don't have the ball; where they should be. The tactics you tell the players to follow come from all this study.
Players are human and when they get the opportunity to relieve the pressure, some deal with it in different ways.
As players, we look to prepare, and if opportunity comes by, we want to do well, both for ourselves and for team.
Tactics are just a part of football because the players are playing.
I know how important it is to take different tactics from different managers on board.
That's what the tactics are, Nazi tactics. Nazi tactics are progressive tactics first.
It was different coming from Hale End to London Colney. The coaching is so much different and the environment - you've got loads of first team players and world-class players there.
The goal for me is always to have the opportunity to work in different genres. This is a great and exciting time in my career, where I can have the opportunity to work in different genres, and also I recognize there's not a lot of actors who have that opportunity and I'm grateful for it.
Different players play you different ways. Some players might be slow-footed so they got to backup. Some players might push you up. You've got to have a go-to that's a mix for both of them.
Everything is up to the players and not the tactics. They're just small details that can show you the way to play.
