Part 2: Make the "team" Scouting report

General Research: Start by gathering information about the opposing team, including their recent performances, formation preferences, key players, playing style, and tactical tendencies. Watch their previous matches, analyze match reports, and study statistics to gain insights into their strengths and weaknesses.

Focus on Key Players: Identify the opposition's key players who are likely to have the most influence on the game. Pay close attention to their playing style, preferred positions, strengths, and weaknesses. Understanding how to neutralize or exploit these key players can give your team a significant advantage.

Analyze Set Pieces: Study the opposition's set-piece routines, including corner kicks, free kicks, and throw-ins. Pay attention to their positioning, movement patterns, and delivery methods. Developing strategies to defend against or capitalize on set pieces can be crucial in determining the outcome of the game.

Assess Formations and Tactics: Analyze the opposing team's formations and tactical approach to different phases of the game, such as attacking, defending, and transitioning between the two. Look for patterns in their positioning, movement, and decision-making to anticipate their game plan and adjust your tactics accordingly.
