The approach emphasizes not rushing any process and relying on dates and reports to ensure players are available for either the first or second match. The plan avoids unnecessary risks, but accepts that risks may be taken if needed during a World Cup context. Winning every match is treated as a requirement, shaping selection and strategy. If players do not participate, the reason is that they should not play based on the coach’s judgment. Player willingness to take risks is acknowledged, but the team’s decisions remain focused on performance and match outcomes.
