TACTICS

In the past, fights were won with a good tactic. Roman Legions used the Tortoise formation: a tactic of moving towards the opponent in a formation in which it wasn't possible to hit the soldiers from the side or from the front. Russians during WWII let the German troops freeze before Stalingrad and after cutting the supplies of food and gas Germans had no chance to be successful. English air force helped to sink the German battleship Bismarck with slow and old Swordfish planes. The strong canons from the ship could not target the planes.

Even now, big games and championships are won with tactics. Not only does the tactic have to be set but it also has to be right and players must follow it from the first ball to the last. It is not about the fact that one or some players are physically more powerful or can jump higher. Yes, sometimes it is enough to jump higher or have better physical conditions if the opponent is 2 or 3 levels lower but relying on these facts for the results at the end of the whole season, or to win the national or world championship like this - that is too big of a risk
