Do you play a big point, if your opponent doesn’t play strong enough?

Xin

Hi Coaches,

I wonder this subject and wanna share the opinions about “ If your team plays in your league or participate a tournament, the opposing plays maybe very weak in group, do you prefer to win a big win like more than 10-0 or 20-0, even you have already send your substitution to play?”

In my opinion, I don’t like win a big win. The kids have to enjoy the game and get involved. A no sweat victory can lull players into complacency, even contempt. The kids who lose the game will lost their confidence indeed, particularly in very young age.

If I was in a situation like this, I will ask the players to play using their weak foot, more reasonable 1v1 challenge and more passing and movement.

I want to hear more ideas. Thank you all.

    Surely, you continue with the team on the pitch and together learn where you as a coach need to be developing those players - you have created a terrific learning environment. Maybe rotate each player off to talk to them/show them/ask them what they see? where is the danger where are we strong,  what they will do different when you rotate them back on
