The Ukrainian drone schools training operators for war are having to rewrite their lessons as fast as every other week to get students ready for an ever-changing battlefield. Within the drone battle, a critically important aspect of this war, tech and tactics are shifting rapidly. Three drone schools told Business Insider that it's imperative they keep their lessons up to date because it's life or death on the battlefield.
It was a painful lesson for me, so seeing as I should've predicted it wouldn't work, I made it more difficult for them, In the second half, when we changed system, I saw a different energy and balance to the team. We had equalised and got the match on track, but then we conceded another goal, and it all became more difficult.
AC Milan were defeated in a cagey affair against Lazio on Thursday evening, with Massimiliano Allegri losing the 'chess game' against Maurizio Sarri. Like many other games before this season, the Rossoneri lacked in a lot of spects in the first half of the game. Or rather, you could definitely say that the two teams cancelled each other out, as Lazio didn't exactly create much either.
Oh yes, I can't have soup without pepper. I like herbs and flavours. I'm sure that has something to do with my African roots. At home, we had traditional Belgian cuisine, but also dishes from the Congo, my father's homeland, like Pili pili. But today I also enjoy Bavarian food - sausage salad, for example.
I had quite a good chance to score and then they were the better team, says Kindvall. But maybe if we had got the first goal, maybe we had a chance. We were very good when we didn't have the ball ourselves. We had good organisation in the defence. And Forest were very good without the ball as well. It was more difficult for us to play against a team who were more like our team. We played the English way.
Barcelona's clash with Chelsea in tomorrow's UEFA Champions League fixture is shaping up to be one of the most tactically complex matches for Hansi Flick. While the team enters the match with renewed confidence, a series of returning players has created several selection dilemmas across the pitch, forcing Flick to weigh up form, fitness and balance before naming his starting XI.
"From the moment he came into the club, he was very clear on how he wanted to play, the system he wanted to play," Jonny Evans recalls. "He laid that out. "We were on an international break at the time when he came in. He sat down with the squad and showed us. There were obviously a lot of players missing, and as soon as they came back, he sat them down and showed them."
This is a fascinating match for all it represents, and we know what it means for the fans. They want to have a relaxing Monday without getting mocked by their friends, and this is what makes football so great. We know what we want to do. The world is watching us.
Carlo Ancelotti is one of the most important figures in modern football, and the former AC Milan coach and player is ingrained in the club's history. There are very few players or coaches who have dominated for generations; you may say Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as players, Pep Guardiola as a manager, but Ancelotti would also have to be in the conversation. As a manager, he has won five Champions League titles, five top-flight titles, and a host of other competitions, too.
"At the moment, if we keep the structure, they cannot play. "They can but not in the structure, not for the balance that we developed and not for the structure that comes also with wingers who are like specialists in their positions. We play at the moment with a six, eight, a 10 and a nine."
Scotland are potentially two games away from a first men's World Cup finals appearance since 1998. Wins over Greece and Denmark or a draw in Greece and then a win over Denmark will guarantee Steve Clarke's side a place at next year's tournament in Canada, the United States and Mexico. This will be the fourth meeting with Greece this year, so there should be no big surprises in Piraeus, although it's difficult to gauge the hosts' mood given they are out of the running.
"They are performing fantastically. The work he [Iraola] is doing, all the professionals there with the head coach, it's really fantastic," Emery said. "He is always even selling players, he's building a very competitive team, competing for the top positions, European positions, and this year, they have 18 points, three more than us. "Tactically, they are very good at everything. They are defending aggressively, they are winning duels, they are attacking in transition, but they are getting good combinations with their players and being very offensive with all the players they have."
"I know Wojtek would rather watch his teammates from the bench and, if necessary, help out. I still see a spark in him after every good save in a match, and I'm happy about that because I enjoy watching him play," he told WP Sportowe Fakty.
We've been playing well in recent matches. They're one of the best teams in the world. We'll play high up the pitch, attacking and man-marking.
The spirit of Stoke City's legendary ball flinger lives on with the long throw-in enjoying a renaissance in the Premier League this season. Indeed, statistics show that the number of long throw-ins per match has more than doubled from last season, pointing to a very real and meaningful trend. It's a trend bemoaned by some, including Jamie Carragher, who in his punditry has taken issue with the way long throw-ins disrupt the game (the game's lawmakers are considering taking action too).
Seattle Reign FC head coach Laura Harvey said she used ChatGPT for tactical advice this past offseason, which ultimately led her and her staff to test out a new formation with five defenders. Harvey, who is a three-time NWSL Shield winner and three-time NWSL coach of the year, told the "Soccerish Podcast" that she had not previously played in a back-five or heavily researched it.
Frank is more of a pragmatist, more willing to be direct, play on the break and wait for opportunities to unveil an array of clinical set-piece routines, whereas Maresca veers towards dogmatism. The Italian comes from the Pep Guardiola school; he prizes dominance of the ball. Chelsea's average of 59.7% possession this season is bettered only by Liverpool in the Premier League.
HT: 0-0. On the basis of that half, Shels are facing a much weaker opponent than Qarabag and Rijeka and this feels more like Windsor Park where they are getting reasonable time on the ball on a big pitch in a vast stadium that is far from intimidating.
Wowzers - who predicted this stunning scoreline? Perhaps Nathan Jones, though he might have wished for even more goals. This was no easy task - Ipswich Town, a Premier League side just last season and one of the promotion favourites, stood firm with an unbeaten home record this campaign. In front of a packed crowd of 28,006, two astute managers clashed, but it was Jones' tactical courage - playing two up front - that helped deliver this win.
This time it was the first on the way to a largely comfortable 2-0 win in Spain that suggests that a team is emerging once again, with Bernardo Silva scoring the second in a first half of notable superiority before a second in which there were moments to suffer but not too many of them. When Haaland was withdrawn with five minutes to go, there were whistles and relief; he, and they, could do no more damage.
