[QUOTE="Tendai, post: 67818"]
I've been hearing all this talk about Marian Marinica and his 'fast and very fast' system. I like the idea of it in theory. Who doesn't want to see high-energy pressing football instead of the slow, boring stuff we’ve been watching? It’s modern football. It shows he wants to take the initiative and attack teams, which I really respect.

My worry is whether our players are fit enough to actually do it. That style is incredibly demanding. You need the whole team to be super fit and tactically drilled. You can’t have one or two guys slacking off, or the whole system falls apart. I remember watching his Malawi team, and they looked exhausted by the end of the matches. Can Marian Marinica get our squad to that level of fitness in such a short time before the big tournaments?

I think it could be a disaster if he tries to force it too quickly. The players might just break down, or we’ll get caught out of position. But if Marian Marinica is smart, he will adapt it. Maybe we only press in certain moments or use it against specific teams. I’m excited to see us play with some energy, but I’m also pretty nervous that it might just backfire badly.
