HOW TUNISIA CAN WIN THE WORLD CUP

April 14th, 2006 | By: Bessam | 3 Comments »

THESE ARE THE KEY THINGS TUNISIA MUST DO TO WIN

1. Treat All teams as if they were African teams : Why, when Tunisia Plays an African team they play aggressive as if they were the favorite, Even Nigeria, and Cameroon have dificult times beating them. They over respect their European counterparts, they must treat them with the same mindset they use when playing African teams.

2. Play the ball low to the strikers: Why, out strikers are short, they will not win when it comes to taking lobs out of the air against large defenders. They must use they’re speed and play the ball to the strikers on the ground so it even territory.

3. Midfield must press forward: Why, all too often Tunisia plays a defensive game and we end up lobbing the ball to a solitary defender with no help. The whole army must march forward

4. Offensive minded formation: Enough of the defense, we must score goals. I remember we played in fear in the first game of our last few previous world cups and we played to draw and not to win. What happened we lost. Only by game 3 of the group stage does Tunisa play to win and we end up at least drawing.

5. Pride : No diving, no acting. Do not fall unless there is no other option. I see people dive all the time or fall when i know they could have kept running. Falling is the easy way out. With those huge leg muscles you must run and stay balanced and only go down if you cant possibly stay up. Inner drive and inner fire can not be taught, so players with determination stand out

6. No complaining to refs: Its 11 vs 11 out there, You cant change the refs mind. Be a man and play the oponent and not the ref.

7. Be Physical and aggressive: Making it to the world cup is an accomplishment. But the players have to realize they are not there to look pretty and the job isnt done. Its only the begining.

I hope the coach is reading this because you make some excellent suggestions. The one I like the most is the need to attack. If we play defensive football against Ukraine and Spain we will not win.

Great blog.

Very good points that you made. Tunisia should be more confident in this world cup than ever. The one thing that is really a big plus for Tunisia this year is the experience it claimed from Europe’s clubs.
I think Tunisia should play offensively against Saudi Arabia and Ukraine and should work on topping the group. Because if they top the group they can manage to face a team like switzerland or korea in the second round.
I love Tunisia barsha barsha !
