Tactical periodisation is going to become even more important with the game schedule expanding more and more.For over a year having spoken to professionals and someone I know who works on the periphery of the club, I have believed poor and minimal use of tactical periodisation has been at the base of some of our fitness and inury issues. Now I am sure it is. When the clown goes we need to get real experience in throughout the club. Our deficits tactical medical and sports science are bigger than the fat controller himself.
I honestly do not think that high intensity, press until death game styles are going to be sustainable at the top of the game for much longer because of the schedule.
