Let's create some scenarios based on Flick's tactics in the 4-0 match, adding some complexity and potential challenges for an aspiring manager like yourself. I'll follow each scenario with a relevant question to test your approach and adaptability. (you can answer it on either comment section or write a message in mail . )
Most importantly, forwards like Mbappé and Vinicius, high-speed forwards of Madrid are ceaselessly testing the offside trap. The defense of Flick catches this French-Brazilian attacking pair offside on several occasions. However, in the second half of the game, Madrid manages to adjust its game in such a way that now it times its runs better.
Question: If Madrid starts to counter your offside trap with more precise and well-timed runs, how would you adapt your defensive setup in such a way as to maintain control?
Scenario 2: High-Pressing/Wing Emphasis
Your team is high-pressing, and your wide players, Yamal and Raphinha, have successfully isolated Madrid's midfield and cut out passing angles from them. But after going down a goal, Madrid starts to use long balls in an attempt to bypass the press for direct chances with Mbappé and Vinícius.
Question: How would you adjust your team's method of pressing and defensive positioning to adapt to the change in Madrid's game into long-ball tactics, yet still be able to apply pressure?

Scenario 3: In-game Formation Adjustment
First half, your AM just isn't having any kind of effect. You bring on a controller-type midfielder, Frenkie de Jong, who seems almost instantly to steady the game and gives your team the ability to maintain possession and subsequently create opportunities.
Question: How would you assess when it's the right time to make such a tactical substitution, and what signs would you look for to indicate that a controlling midfielder could shift the game's momentum?
Scenario 4: Counter-Attacks and Play on Width
Your team has been gaining success on the wings, as with width, you can open Madrid's defense and look to create opportunities to score. However, Madrid's defense then doubled up on your wingers and closed down space to make it difficult for them to operate effectively.

Question: How would you adjust your attacking approach to maintain width and keep creating scoring chances when Madrid's defense doubles up on your wingers?
Scenario 5: Managing Star Players
Mbappé and Bellingham are central to Madrid's game plan, yet you feel that once Bellingham is forced out wide, he loses some of his influence. Meanwhile, Mbappé begins to feel annoyed by being flagged offside time after time. They start to lose their temper.
Question: What would you exploit in tactics to frustrate and displace positions among these key players of Madrid, and how would you discipline your team to make them composed?

With Ter Stegen injured, Flick opted to start the match with Inaki Peña, who was outstanding in goal in extreme pressure. That would indicate that, whenever your No. 1 goalkeeper or your key player gets injured, you decide on a young, less experienced backup in his place for a huge decision.
Question: What preparation and support would you give this player so that they are mentally and physically prepared to play such a big game?
Scenario 7: Being Resilient against Sudden Changes in Opposition
Then there's the second-half introduction of Modric, who instantly sorts out their midfield and proves dangerous with his passing. That substitution has you reassessing your defensive structure.
Question: With this experienced playmaker on the pitch, how do you think his introduction would make you react, and what exact changes would you make to offset his influence without compromising your attacking setup?
Away from home, you win possession in Madrid's half during a high-tempo sequence. Their defense scrambles to reset, and Frenkie de Jong releases Balde with a one-touch pass. Balde crosses for goal, leveraging the disorganization of Madrid.
Question: How would you train your players to recognize and respond quickly when these moments of disorganization occur-particularly against a defense which resets slowly?
Scenario 9: Goalkeeper's response to Madrid's attempts
There are a few moments of danger in Madrid, with Modric's free kick almost converting and a few of the long-range shots testing your goalkeeper. Your defense is looking somewhat fragile on set pieces of play.
Question: How would you change your defensive strategy to eliminate this weakness, especially at set pieces and at long distance shots?

Your team follows it up with a third, then Madrid really starts to push the envelope. You get the feeling that your players have become overconfident and are starting to make too many reckless plays.
Question: What things might you do to help keep your team focused on finishing out the game effectively without taking undue risks once they get ahead?
