"Hurzeler explained he had been guided by a feeling that comes from inside In some moments my body says something to me. Not just in football but generally in life you need to have the courage to take the decisions you want to. Hurzeler had spent most of his press conference trying to deflect or at least share out the praise."
"Manchester United went to Paris Saint-Germain having lost the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie 2-0. By half-time at the Parc des Princes, improbably, they led 2-1. Many would have attacked, seeking a third that would have brought an away-goals victory. But Ole Gunnar Solskjr instead had United sit off. PSG were quite happy with that: they led 3-2 on aggregate. Only in the last 15 minutes did United attack. They did so with belief."
Fabian Hurzeler made a quadruple substitution an hour into Brighton's Premier League game against Manchester City and the changes transformed a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 win. He described acting on an inner feeling and stressed the courage needed to make decisions, while crediting his players' energy and belief and the collective input of his coaching staff. Modern management uses data, analysis and meticulous planning, but decisive interventions can stem from intuition built on years of observation and experience. Intuition covers not only technical understanding but also sensing and shaping the shifting emotional dynamics of a match.
