Stoke City 'going in right direction' after important lesson insist...

For a little more than a month, Narcis Pelach has been the head coach of Stoke City.

According to Narcis Pelach, Stoke City must occasionally focus their zeal and energy in order to maintain control of

Championship games.

Pelach acknowledged that after leading 2-0 within the first 14 minutes of Tuesday night’s match against Bristol City,

Stoke lost control of the match. His team ultimately had to struggle to hold onto a point at 2-2, and now they are.

Although he needs to remind players of the value of positional discipline at a time when they are expected to

continue increasing their physical output, he is certain that it wasn’t due to a lack of application.

“Without the ball, we lost control.” Without the ball, you may sometimes win games,” he observed. “You don’t always

need to have the ball, especially when against ball possession teams like Bristol City and Norwich.

“Many teams in the Championship right now are designed to have a lot of the ball, and they have midfielders who

can handle the ball.” One of these sides is Bristol. You have to come to terms with the fact that you must protect

yourself and keep them out of your box at some time.

“With the energy, we wanted to go and keep pressing.” It begins from a good place, but we wanted to do more and

lost control. I have to convey to the team that sometimes trying to do the right thing might lead to doing the wrong

thing. It is what it is. We are attempting to work on a number of things.
