1. Defense first, attack second, Gritty shows that championships and contention for championships must be won via a lockdown defense, first and foremost. A great defense creates ample opportunities on attack, even if it means conceding 75% possession to your opponent. Most importantly look at number of shots on target by the opponent, yesterday Swansea had one shot on goal and dominated with regatd to vall possession, now that is real D.
2. You cannot take advantage of opportunities to attack on the counter, if you slowly move the ball up the field, breakdown in an opponent attack means he has stretched out his lines of defense and only one thing can take advantage of a stretched defense or formation, speed on the counter, call it long ball if you want, but targeted selection of your attackers with speed in a broken formation is a fantastic advantage, why not maximize the opportunity.
3. And most important is back to number 1, defence makes the best offense.
