HOW TO BEAT FRANCE....COUNTER ATTACK AND ZONE/MARK EACH FRENCH PLAYER
Today, the main detail behind France’s 3-1 victory against Ghana at the FIFA U-20 World Cup Turkey 2013 went by the name of Geoffrey Kondogbia.
“Our playing style is based around player movement, 2 touch passing, always looking for the man in space and trying to work the flanks,” he explained.
“That’s our footballing philosophy and, because I’ve got a very good understanding with Yaya [Sanogo], I didn’t hesitate to play the ball through to him first-time.”
GOALIE ANTWI: THE CAPTAIN BAND MUST GO TO ANTWI.
TELL THE GOALIE ANTWI TO KEEP HIS EYE ON THE BALL AND STOP GUESSING OR PREDICTING WHERE THE BALL WILL BE PLAYED TO.
IF YOU CANT SEE THE BALL, YOU CANT SAVE IT. DONT LOOK AT THE PLAYER. LOOK AT THE BALL…
COACH TETTEH LACKS ATTENTION TO DETAIL LIKE A TAILOR. YOU CAN PRAY ALL YOU WANT, BUT IF YOU FAIL TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON YOUR ENEMY ON THE BATTLEFIELD. YOU WILL LOSE...
COMPLACENCY IS OUR ENEMY! SLOPPY DEFENDING IS OUR ACHILLES HEEL.
PLAY THE COUNTER ATTACK AGAINST FRANCE. THATS THE ONLY WAY TO BEAT FRANCE. THAT IS HOW SPAIN DID IT VS FRANCE.
COUNTER WITH LONG BALLS TO THE WINGERS OR THRU TO THE CENTER MIDFIELDERS, SO THEY CAN FINISH....
IF YOU DO THIS. YOU WILL CATCH THE FRENCH DEFENCE OFFGUARD. SATTELITES, TAKE THE BALL INTO THE FRENCH 18 ALL THE TIME.
NO LONG BALLS, PLS...NO STUPID LONG BALLS!!!!
GH DEFENDERS: THIS IS A HUGE TASK FOR BORBOR, BUT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
A)THE BOYS MUST LIFT METAL
B)DEFENDERS MUST BE IMBIBED WITH CONFIDENCE. TELL THE DEFENDERS THEY CAN PLAY AGAINST FRANCE. FIRE THEM UP
C)THE FRENCH PLAY WITH 3 STRIKERS WHO ALWAYS RUN INTO THE 18 TO RECEIVE/HEAD CROSSES, CORNERS ETC.
D)SOLUTION: KEEP THE 3 FRENCH STRIKERS AWAY FROM THE DANGER ZONE, THE 18. BY CONSTANTLY MARKING THEM, PLAY ZONE.
CONTEST EVERY AERIAL BALLS AND BE READY TO OUTWORK THEM. IF YOU DO THIS, YOU WILL GIVE YOURSELF A CHANCE TO NOT CONCEDE ANY GOALS.
E)THE DEFENDERS MUST RELEASE LONG BALLS TO THE WINGERS OR CENTER MIDFIELDERS..............
F) DONT USE NKETIAH
MIDFIELDERS: YOUR ONLY JOB IS TO HELP THE GH DEFENSE N WIN BALLS IN MIDFIELD.
A)DONT EVEN TRY TO SHOOT LONG BALLS.
B)GET THE BALL N RELEASE TO THE WINGERS N STRIKERS
STRIKERS: TO BEAT FRANCE, WE NEED ODJER N ACHEAMPONG TO WORK ON THE FLANKS.
A)THEY MUST DRIBBLE THE BALL INTO THE FRENCH 18 N SHOOT. NO FEAR OR SILLYNESS.
B)I WANT ODJER N ACHEAMPONG TO PLAY LIKE ROBBEN. DRIBBLE THE BALL INSIDE THE FRENCH 18.
DRIBBLE OUTSIDE, FAKE IT AND BRING IT BACK INSIDE.
C)MAKE THE FRENCH LEFT N RIGHT FULLBACKS SWEAT. ONCE INSIDE THE FRENCH 18, YOU CAN SHOOT ON GOAL
OR PASS THE BALL TO YIADOM OR ASSIFUAH OR ASHIA TO SHOOT.
D)BORBOR MUST GET THESE 2 WINGERS TO PRACTICE THESE ROUTINES IN TRAINING. IN LESS LIGHT CONDITIONS...DARK.
E)THE FRENCH LEFT N RIGHT BACKS WERE SUSPECT AGAINST SPAIN. SPAIN BEAT FRANCE BY USING THE COUNTER ATTACK.
PS...BORBOR MUST SIT DOWN ASSIFUAH N TELL HIM TO BE CALM IN THE 18. IF HE IS CALM, HE CAN THINK WELL N STRIKE WITH EASE.
HE HAD 2 ME N YOU CHANCES N MESSED IT UP. ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS BE CALM N RAISE THE BALL OVER THE GOALIE.
AND DRIBBLE THE GOALIE ON THE 2ND OPPORTUINITY, BUT HE WAS RUSHING...GIDIGIDI SO MESSED IT UP.
WHEN BABA OVERLAPS, HE BECOMES SELFISH. HE ALSO BLEW GREAT CHANCES TO SCORE......HE MUST LOOK FOR THE OPEN STRIKER BEFORE HE SHOOTS.
Imagine 37 shots on goal for only 4 goals AGAINST CHILE! Brazil would have scoreD at least 15 with that mANY shots ON GOAL.

6 Hours to the game and you are still telling the boys to lift the metal? Talk is indeed cheap. How can You reproduce the same advice regardless of the situation.

Your saying doesn't hold water because all the players were tested especially the African players before were allowed to participating. Nigeria was caught for bringing in 6 overage players and were sent home. Mali as well was caught with I believe 4, if I'm not mistaking.

My point here is if our players are over the required age, why were they not sent home like others? It is good to comment but use facts to accuse. If you have none to defend your accusation, rest with your none-evidence accusation. No one want to here that.

Come back with facts and we can argue from there. Anything other than that, zip it!

Looks like we are up against it you know. Looking at the statistics, France have scored the most goals, have conceded the least, have beaten us 3-1 in the same tournament and we have lost three of our most influential players. Not looking good is it? If anyone thinks it is going to be a walk in the park, then they would have to think again. Having said that, France know very well that we have a very strong team and will be afraid of us. We can take advantage of that and put one over them. If we defend better, we can beat any team France included. I trust the coach to get the tactics right. We need this victory, we want the cup, again, so come on boys, lets do it. 2-1 to Ghana I say
