Coach makes all the decisions, but the captain, vice-captain, and 2-3 (often) veteran players represent the players. If they feel something is going wrong they´ll take it to the coach, be it team dynamics or line-ups/tactics. They will give their opinion for the coach to consider, but he makes the final call. The coach would be a moron to not at least listen to the veteran players to get a feeling for the team dynamics/mood, cause at the end of the day the players have all the power. Nobody is firing all their players in times of failure. Coach is always the first to go. And they all want to have success.
I didn't realize that. Very interesting!
