It honestly wouldn't unless one manager made such a massive error in tactics. In those situations it would benefit a team to get reorganized, but those changes can be made quite seemlessly in the middle of the game without any stoppage


Thanks for the great explanation. So they have plays already set up for certain situations? That was kinda my question you could always use a timeout. Understand a little bit better

There aren't really "plays" in soccer. Its a spontaneous game that is played by players. Not played by coaches using players as nothing more than tools in their game. Thinking by players is required.

For dead ball situations, teams do have set routines.

In open play, what teams work on in training is attacking patterns, spacing between one another, and general movement. There are no pre-planned plays in open play, but there are movements that the players are accustomed to, or expect from other players and certain pre-determined strategies that you can see play out during a match.
