National coach Mohamed Wahbi confirmed today that his core football philosophy relies on the quality of the players available within the squad, emphasizing that the selection of players is always based on their technical and physical readiness.
Wahbi explained that a successful coach must adapt to the characteristics of his players, preferring hybrid styles that grant the team high tactical flexibility in both attack and defense. This flexibility allows the national team to shift its playing style depending on the course of the match and the pressure exerted by the opponent.
In his statements to Al Riyadiya channel, Wahbi added that the team is capable of attacking in one style and defending in another, with the ability to change the style based on the nature of the opponent’s pressure, whether it is high pressing or based on the positioning of the opponent and the number of attackers during the phases of building play or finishing attacks.
This tactical vision aims to maximize the utilization of the players’ abilities and ensure their adaptability to different scenarios that may occur on the field.
The national coach Mohamed Wahbi concluded his statements by emphasizing that his main goal is to control the flow of the match. He clarified that control does not necessarily mean possession of the ball throughout the game, but rather imposing the desired rhythm and making the appropriate decisions at critical moments in the confrontation.
This philosophy reflects a realistic and practical approach to dealing with the challenges of modern football, where effectiveness and control of the game flow are most important.
