A Quote by Chris Hughton

When you play the top sides you cannot afford to be as open as 4-4-2 can leave you. Consequently teams adapt their formation. — © Chris Hughton
When you play the top sides you cannot afford to be as open as 4-4-2 can leave you. Consequently teams adapt their formation.
You cannot have a situation where you think that if you want to attack, then you play this formation, and if you want to defend, then you play this formation.
When diving to attack always leave a proportion of your formation above to act as top guard.
There are teams in England who play the football I like, keeping the ball on the ground, playing a quick game with one-twos, pressing their opponents high up the pitch. If one of these clubs were interested in me, I'd adapt to them well, and they could adapt to my way of playing, which isn't so common.
Good decisions are not necessarily playing it short every time you get the ball. The best teams can play longer or have a threat behind or play through or around. They adapt.
When I play any of the top teams or the top players, it's a stage.
I think that's the philosophy of all top teams - to educate young, top players and to give them the possibility to play.
We have a strong and vital role to play in Iraq, and we certainly cannot leave a vacuum for the insurgents to take over. We are engaged in a conflict from which America cannot afford to cut and run. We must be steadfast in this endeavor, upon which depends not only our future but that of the entire modern world.
Every season is so much different and you go through your ups and downs, you figure your team out, you get to play against great teams. Some of the best competition there's been since I've been in the league. Just every night, night in and night out we get to play against the top guys, the top teams. It's a lot of fun.
Balance is the secret for every team. There cannot be a defensive formation and an attacking formation: such a concept is a limitation.
The way you adapt and play against different teams and different styles is going to be important.
We cannot afford to leave the poor behind.
Football is a really simple game, and the most important thing, in any formation, is that the players do their jobs, not the formation which they play in.
I've always said I prefer playing on the right. But I can play at a top level on both sides so I'm happy to play wherever the manager thinks it will bringing the team success.
In Brazil, we play quite open, but I'm doing my best to adapt as quickly as I can.
It would be a pleasure to play against England. They are one of the top teams.
Often in evolutionary processes a species must adapt to new conditions in order to survive. Today the atomic bomb has altered profoundly the nature of the world as we know it, and the human race consequently finds itself in a new habitat to which it must adapt its thinking.
