Does pre match comments effect how you opposition play you?

I know doubting opp players can make them play better etc, but do comments on how your team will play effect the opposition eg I was asked if I would take a defensive approach I said I would so will the opposition consider starting with a more attacking lineup to break me down, or is this just for the fans and players moral/happyness?

Are you referring to Team Talking or pre match random press conferences ?

In terms of pre-match press conferences only the question picked out in the news item after the conference has an effect.

What it does varies depending on the question picked out.
