Unfortunately, for many managers this means losing [[friendly]] matches, and sometimes even losing the [[training]] altogether due to the lack of default [[match order]]s and appropriate [[line-up]] for matches. The same applied to the [[national teams]], many of which had the match played with a default lineup and no [[team attitude]] or tactic settings.
