This I agree... and it's a patience-game. In the past, we tend to rush and then muck up our game. Now the players have enuff confidence to know that if we just keep pressing - without rushing - we'll eventually "open" them. Coz when it comes to the 75-min mark, the stamina, endurance and tenacity of lesser teams will become more apparent.
Call it "slow-boil"
There's so many more games coming over the next few days. Rafa knows being able to last the course is key, rather than winning one game spectacularly.
Same as how you seduce an OL... you can't just walk up to her and propose sex! You've to build the mood.. slowly boil... and then when the soup is ready, you drink hehe...
Merry Xmas to everyone here!
