you also run the biggest risk of burnout though so don't get too comfortable
biggest risk amongst which teams? it's not like we're the only team putting in physical work to make up for individual quality and obviously and it's a major part of our preparation and training (that and tactical awareness).
and while it's theoretically true that so much effort leaves you vulnerable to burnout / fatigue, we have the "advantage" that we can focus on one competition only and that our players had time to recover in the winter break. so even if we run into a bad phase (which is entirely possible), the 9 points we're currently above the play-off spot (13 point above direct relegation even) look pretty good at this point in the season (19 of 34 games played).
also, that doesn't take anything away from the "beauty" of our game which is tactical discipline, individual passion and great teamwork...
