Watch the game at least twice. I recommend you to watch the game at least twice. First time, watch as you usually do by having fun. We all have these expectations about the results of the game. Especially if you have an emotional attachment for the team playing. You're a fan of that team.
You don't like their way of play, or do puzzles, you don't like it from the second time, try as much as possible to be neutral. The good thing is that you no longer have these questions and expectations about the outcome, so your mind is free to analyze. The other cool thing is that you can pause and play the game at the pace you want. This technique is really helpful to understand why and how of all player decisions. pause the game every 10 or 20 seconds and ask why they are doing what they are doing. Like movement brands calling the ball delay in closing to the ball owner covering extra Try.
Mute the reporter, I'm asking you to muted as reporters during the game try to analyze it talking about tactics like players positions, shapes, style, dressing, or whatever. Most of the time, these analogies are superficial. Worse than that they are wrong. Their job isn't to analyze the game, but to keep you entertained, they don't want you to go to watch the game on another channel. So they are going to praise the best team almost all the time. They are going to do anything to keep you on the channel.
They are far from being objective. They are far from being football and start following the ball only. The mistake we all make watching the game is to only follow the ball because all our attention on the player who has the ball, and by consequence, the player claws into him trying to win the ball back in a game. There are 22 players. If we exclude this two players, we still have 20 players playing at the same time. Every single player has its own decision running forward or backward.
You can add the same position covering, calling for the ball, so on and so forth. 20 single decisions on the field that could drastically change the situation. That's huge. There's something I want to tell you. It's shocking. So prepare yourself to hear that your whole life, you're watching only a bit of every game.
It is really shocking when you do realize what this means. Now try to remember all of these games you watched, were amazed by them, and they were like, wow, this game is awesome. Try to imagine yourself watching more awesomeness every time you get better at football and as
