The thing is to have different options in mind, even we know, sometimes the scenario really goes against one and seems there's nothing one can do to win... as too the game is not lineal and every match is a different story....
These are tips I usually have in mind, for me, all is have the control in own favour 1st and then read more deeply the game so, changes in tactics and little movements, can help for the 1st, to have the control, then, try to force a double yellow or change a man that failed 2 freekicks is something not so common, as people have orders/tactics and subs' in mind when think in the "what to do".
So, all is amplify horizons.
Nice if work, and you wanna share, even if, many times is not so simple because read the match is a hard labour and interpret the scenario is not so easy, and maybe is better another option than the selected... this happen.
