Opposition analysis
Structures, repeated behaviours, pressing triggers, transition threats and set-piece tendencies — reduced to information that changes preparation.

Opposition analysis, game planning and defensive organisation
Analysis → Game plan → Training → Match execution
I turn information about the opponent into clear solutions the staff can train and the team can reproduce under match pressure. Data and video support the decision; the work is completed on the pitch.
Contribution to the staff
From observation to an executable match plan
My strongest contribution is connecting the full preparation cycle. I identify where the opponent creates and concedes advantages, build match-specific solutions and help transfer them into team behaviour.
Game planning
Clear solutions for build-up, pressing, rest defence and transitions, adapted to the squad and the specific opponent.
Defensive organisation
Improving the cooperation of units and the whole team: distances, access to the ball, cover, box control and immediate reaction after loss.
Training-to-match transfer
Designing exercises and constraints that reproduce the decisions, spaces and pressure players will face in the next match.
In-game adaptation
Reading whether the expected picture is occurring and adjusting roles, structure or pressure without losing the team’s core principles.
Selected case studies
Preparation visible in the match
These examples do not claim that one coach decides a match. They show how analysis, staff work, training and player execution can form one connected process.
Opposition plan · Mladá Boleslav
Protect the transition, then press without hesitation
The opponent’s threat came from absorbing pressure and attacking the space after regain. The response prioritised compact rest defence and pressure on every build-up phase.
AnalysisTransition threat after regains and direct play behind the line.
SolutionRest-defence first, compact distances and man-oriented pressure on build-up.
Outcome3–0 away, clean sheet, no registered opponent counter-attacks; internal PPDA 6.4.
Match solution · Sparta Prague
A pressing trigger connected to the vertical attack
The clip captures the link between defensive structure and the next attacking action: protect the centre, recognise the trigger and attack the newly opened corridor.
StructureFive-plus-two rest defence protects the centre and prepares the regain.
TriggerThe pass and receiving position activate coordinated pressure.
ExecutionRegain followed by a vertical attack through the central corridor in a 3–0 away win.
Season process · FK Pardubice U17
A measurable spring improvement
After the autumn phase, the training curriculum shifted toward positional attack in the final third, more stable pressure after loss and clearer match-specific preparation. Official match results show the scale of the team’s improvement.
