Best way to play against a tired team.

Hey guys,

I recently got into a situation where my opponent played a Cup Match the same week. Obviously a lot of players started with less than 85% of energy. What is the best way to exploit this?

Play a wide, patient possession based game and look for the opposition to chase you. Make them close down your players and spread the play across the pitch. In the second half, you're players will be far fresher than theirs and should be able to exploite it by switching to an agressive, direct style.

high tempo, attacking, if you lay back and play posession, it gives them time and saves their energy, so attack attack attack.

High tempo, attacking football, set the tacking instructions on the opponents to be hard, exploit the middle, retain possesion and run at defense are the instructions I would use.
