Hello,

Sorry for my tentative english.

My question is:

How many frendly matches needed in preseason?

What is your experience in that matter?

Thanks

Piebar
It depends. I just finished a preseason with my First XI playing 6 matches, 70-80 minutes each. My subs and spares also played six U18 games. If you sub them off earlier, you might need more.
My go to method is 4 friendlies. First week is exclusively on fitness. Rest 4 weeks is a mix of fitness & tactical familiarity training schedules. 1st 45 min. the first XI, 2nd half the second XI. Players (individual) training in the roles according to tactic. At the first competitive match, we have 90% tactical familiarity.
I always use the four friends approach. Fitness is the only focus the first week. A mixture of physical and tactical familiarity training regimens are used in Rest 4 weeks. First XI for first 45 minutes; second XI for second half. Players (individually) receive role-specific instruction. In the first competitive game, our tactical familiarity is 90%. drift boss
