Escaping is easy, the hard part is staying free Sesko: - eyes on CB = he can move left as he sees the Cb scan right - diagonal run from the CB + controls his deceleration through his left foot to meet the ball on time

Practice makes permanent: Carrick’s emphasis on midfield synergy translating to the pitch once again Working in proximity around the ball draws pressure from Brighton higher, creating space ahead of the ball. Bruno recognises the moment for Lisandro to play beyond.

Quick-release toe-pokes are effectively like jabs (🥊) through how they can ‘sting’ (🐍) the opponent through speed, direction & timing. Goalkeepers are looking for rhythm & body language cues to anticipate the shot, but a quick-release distorts that time of preparation

Direction, timing & weight of each touch in the box is important because it can be the difference between a player scoring a goal or them conceding a counter How many players mess this touch up? Kvara’s preparation to shoot:both touches on his toes. Delicate for immediate release

Players should be encouraged to attack their opponents at the hip as it’s a reference point for maintaining a central angle of approach, which opens greater possibilities (angles) for the attacker to access Keep the defender’s back to play; you’re all they see whilst you see all

For midfielders wanting to enhance their performance, Ngolo Kante should be a primary source of education. (This is also a reference point I use personally as a midfielder). Kante demonstrates himself as one of the greatest anticipators in football in a pivotal moment; he’s caught ahead of the ball. He teaches that you shouldn’t chase the ball, but protect the central space. Protecting the space allows; 1) to maintain your momentum against the opponent which can help you get goalside 2) maintain a line of travel that is parrel to the direction of the ball/opponent, always keeping eye on the ball both points mean that when the attackers tries to cut towards goal (shift their momentum) you can directly intervene with the momentum you’ve already established, you don’t need to be changing direction — or because you’ve filled the central space, even if you can’t regain/retain the ball, your prescence will push the direction of play away from goal Where most midfielders follow the ball, Kante prioritises the space, because he can recognise/predict what & where the opponent will go in reaction to the environment + their own act tendencies. The best footballers in the world are the greatest anticipators. Raya speaks about Alisson’s ability to ‘smell’ what will happen; his ‘timing’ and always being ‘close to the ball’. Being able to recognise + understand performance patterns in football will allow you to be that ‘one step ahead’ of an opponent, because you’re able to ‘anticipate’ their next action. Mastery over motion.
