Team Talks and Press Conferences - Saying all the right things

Saying all the right things

I admit, I'm not the one to handle every Press Conference myself, but they have an effect. As with Team Talks, we need to be careful not to put too much pressure on our team when we're expected to lose, and crank it up a notch when we're comfortable favourites.

For example, being all lovey-dovey when the Morale is already high and we're expected to win, can be a sure-fire way to spark complacency. On the other hand, being demanding when we're expected to lose, either in Press Conferences or Team Talks, could make our players shake in their boots before the game has even started. Chuck a water bottle every now and then to keep everyone on their toes, eh?
