Why does Normal mentality with counter attack work so well then?
I may be wrong overall but playing like this 95% of the times (normal/counter/high press) did not prevent me from winning trebles.
- This is something I 've read in the forum before a long time.
it's not my idea, I just followed it before 1-2 years and it was successful for me
- Has to do more with "real" football", when a weaker team is trying to get a good result from a strong opponent

- Sometimes, assistant manager gives advice for tactics/orders. It doesn't mean he is always right but it seems he is just an "expression" of the program/calculation. So we can see how it thinking sometimes, to confirm things we 're saying,/ suggesting here.
For example, when oppo doesn't have DMs, I prefer long pass . I had (forgot) this orders in the next game too, where my oppo had DMC. Many times ass.manager mentioned in those games, to switch my long passing. So with that I confirmed that doesn't fit.

- Orders has to do with what formation (mostly orders) oppo is setting his team too.
Gizzmo usually playing with a "weak" team so this attracts oppo to play normal/attack ment.
My team is above avg. so most of my opponents set defense ment. (guessing of course).
So with that "trick" {play defense and low, let oppo players to come into your area and after gaining the ball, counter back.}, I can "brake" their defense.

There are the "basic" rules but then every match is different depending from oppo setting, your players and a "good" day
