“The only thing that mattered today was winning.” This phrase is used by coaches who are very aware that their team’s play can be improved, but do not like to be reminded persistently. These are the same coaches who, the following Sunday, with fewer chances on the pitch, argued despite the defeat that their players had done “a lot of things well” and vehemently claimed that a result could not be reached “just because of the result”. That’s why it’s so important Pay attention to actions rather than conversationsIt’s the only thing that really serves outside the circus to go forwardto escape the maze.

POPULATED DEFENSE…

…It does not mean effective defense.

When you experience a mess like Hercules in front of Sant Andreu in Barcelona, ​​some alarms go off. It would be a mistake not to pay attention to this. Hyperventilation is an even more serious condition. Managing setbacks is where a coach’s expertise clearly shines through. Rubén Torrecilla tHe has very much internalized a speech that is very sellable, easily bought outside the gates. He insistently talks about sweating blood, emptying himself, leaving everything on the field, winning, winning, winning. This is all well and good, but its real value lies in managing the promotion path.

And there he displays more skill than anyone before him. The Hercules trainer is very aware of where he is. And no, I’m not talking about the club, I’m talking about the competition. The important thing is to escape the Second RFEF, Esparto football, creative dearth, chain mistakes and long stretches. The technician has internalized this, so a block is formed that contains much more muscle than gray matter. They pull your legs and arms out of the mud pit. In the basement of football, the person who claims to be best prepared is capable of firing two direct free kicks into the stratosphere in succession.

The difference between playing well and playing badly is determined by the mistakes you make and your ability to correct them. Based on the evidence that individual success is very limited on fields with narrow and plastic grass, what brings you closer to victory is not making big mistakes. The less you do, the more points you earn.

DATA

14 points 13th matchday for Angel Rodríguez’s Hércules

â–º Rubén Torrecilla’s team exceeded this number (15) seven days ago. The paradigm shift goes beyond purely stylistic or results.

CONCLUSION

More than one way to play well.

Defending the only way to move the ball from one area to another is the preserve of coaches with big budgets who can select specific players for each technical base. Outside of LaLiga (and it’s not even there anymore) that’s not possible. It is very important to accept this quickly. The tinsel of the shield and the golden sparkles of history shine only in the annals and hardcover books. Torrecilla showed that he took good note of the crash at Narcís Sala at Sant Miquel de Balansat.

He doesn’t marry anyone. He treats everyone with the utmost respect, defends them all equally in the press room, puts his face to everyone (for now) but if he has to travel with him galvanized and leave Michel Herrero He does this at home because he believes it will make him more profitable. The same thing happens with strategy. Because he’s Hercules’ technician, he doesn’t really care if his approach looks stingy. if you have to Defend with five backs against a newly promoted player, like that. And not because of conservatism, but because of the conditions of the field and the opponent, after evaluating everything, after a realistic analysis.

inclusion Ryan Nolan And Cesar Moreno There are no bold measures in the starting lineup against Penya, which is mainly attributed to the promotion favorite. Extremaduran is not worried. It identifies deficiencies that harm Sant Andreu and acts accordingly. Hercules dominated the fields, duels and positioning in Ibiza. He didn’t pass the ball very much, he didn’t progress with the ball, he didn’t do everything expected from a coach who would exalt ball control and combination above all else. He won, and so there is almost no argument, but there is, one does not cancel out the other… and Torrecilla knows it.

IT WILL NOT BE PREDICTABLE

Playing inside is a must.

Hércules achieved the field victory by making three barbecues right behind the goalkeeper because his opponent, like the majority in the Second RFEF, was not on the right foot. Hercules has one and you should take advantage of it. Internal corridors open much more reliable paths to the target and also reduce pressure after loss. Abusing the delivery into the area causes the full-backs to move away from their centre-backs to gain a footing and this leaves them vulnerable for Hercules as their centre-backs do not defend, despite having five wins in six weeks. They do not sprint across much of the field nor backwards. Balance is the key to success. Despite the losses, the points total is historic but there is still a long way to go… and there are related things that need to be improved.
