Considering tactical options

I should figure out how to respond. Do I want to ask if the user wants a quick summary, possible lineup options, tactical impact, or an injury list? It would be wise to avoid making up facts about typical injuries and instead confirm if they'd like me to analyze implications for Real Madrid vs. Man City, focusing on possible backline combinations. I can mention the context of available defenders, given the high number of injuries, which limits the options.Analyzing defensive strategy
I want to outline key risks for Real Madrid against Man City, like transitions behind fullbacks, dealing with Haaland, aerial crosses, and overloads. Adjustments could include using a lower block, compact five in midfield, double pivot for protection, and conservative fullbacks. If I have only four defenders fit, I’d start them all, and if a center-back is missing, I might use Tchouameni or Camavinga as emergency options. I should also consider whether to use Nacho or Carvajal at center-back.Considering roster dynamics
I need to be cautious about mentioning specific player names since rosters can change. In December 2025, there may be signings or changes, so I should stick to historically stable players. Instead, I can refer to tactical archetypes. A better strategy is to provide neutral tactical options without naming players and then offer to customize options if the user requests the latest roster or injury updates. I should also ask, "Do you want me to verify the latest injury status and projected lineup?"
