So in a football sense...
how we attack, how we defend, set plays, penalty shootouts.
So we know or we knew you've probably got to win a penalty shootout to win a tournament.
History tells us that.
We're a disaster at them.
History tells us that as well.
So that's an obvious one.
But again, set plays, set play coaches at that time, specialist coaches in other sports were more prevalent.
They weren't in football.
When we went to Russia, we had a huge amount of success with set plays.
And then medically, you can't make the players, in the time you have them internationally, you can't make the players fitter and stronger, really.
You haven't got long enough.
If you push them too hard, you're going to break them, you're going to send them back injured.
So you've got to really think about how much training they're doing.
It's got to be aligned with what they do at their club, otherwise they're going to be fatigued going into a game.
That's going to inhibit their performance.
So all these things, right, I'm going to put some chips there, and we slowly developed a picture of, okay, this is where we need to allocate our time.
This is where we've only got a certain amount of financial resource, so...
if we want a set play coach, that's going to cost us money.
What aren't we going to do if we're putting that in place?
