Slavia's coach compared Sabah to Barcelona: they want the ball under control, get it wide and try to dribble past you.
“Chtějí mít míč pod kontrolou, dostat se do stran a prosadit se driblinkem.”They want to have the ball under control, get out wide and beat people with dribbling. our translation
Do not expect Sabah to sit back: Dambrauskas has them pressing high and going forward, even in Europe.
“Yıllarca Avrupa maçlarında kabuğuna çekilerek oynamaya alışkın bir futbol kültürünü yerle bir edip; cesur, önde basan ve hücumu düşünen dominant bir kimlik inşa etti.”He tore down a football culture used to retreating into its shell in European matches for years, and built a brave, dominant identity that presses high and thinks about attacking. our translation
They pass their way out patiently rather than hitting it long. If nothing is on, they will go sideways and wait.
“In possession, Sabah look to control the game through patient build-up play, using rotations to create space and find players between the lines.”Big, physical and awkward to break down. If they score, there is a fair chance it starts from a corner.
“Without the ball, they are a physically strong team who are difficult to break down, while their aerial presence makes them a threat from attacking set pieces.”
