But I get the impression that there is no real tendency in Germany to sit around and wait. My next message is, in short, “learn the new game rules”. Imagine for a moment that you are a football coach. Your team has all the right tactics in place and is doing well this season.
Next season, however, the rules of the game are set to change – perhaps the number of goals on the pitch is going up, or more than two teams are to compete on the pitch at one time, or the surface is changing from grass to something else. How would you prepare your team?
