Is this sentence grammaticaly correct?

I spoke to the coach after the half time and he told me that they will need to find a better ways to stop opponent offense. I have feeling that I will never be able to learn to speak English properly, because books on English grammar don't coincide to the way people speak the launguage. If I had said this sentence, I would have said it differently.

I spoke to the coach after the half time and he told me that they would need to find a better ways to stop opponent offense.

I appreciate your taking the time to respond to my question. Please help.
