Weaker teams with defensive mentality have higher possession %


Recommended Posts

I noticed when I play against much weaker team that their possessions % is higher than mine. Their team mentality is set to defensive and mine to attacking . My playing style is tiki taka. When I go to match stats the weaker team has always more passes made then mine. Has anyone else noticed that?

Do you press the opposition high up the pitch out of interest? - if no then the opponents are basically just trying to time waste and see the match out from the get go ... and you're letting them do it?
