SITUATION: • 1v3, attacking the box • pressure from all facing directions SOLUTION: • creates two micro 1v1s (davies/Upa) • drives at the hips to provoke a response; either push (defender retreats) or pull (defender confronts) • shift through the ankle = immediate 2nd touch

‘If Ous leaves number 9, we know to go to number 9 to have a striker’ ‘If I want touches on the right, Doue comes inside’ ‘We all change positions, if Nuno goes high someone goes in his position’ Mobility. Importance of terminology. The pinacle of my 10tweet PSG thread.

Lesley Ugochukwu - defensive transition • controlling the defensive transition through a ‘deny the option —> delay the action’ approach • defending the dangerous space (inside) through fidgeting body movement • prevents a goal —> supports one being scored seconds later

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.

Rodri - anticipation is in the preparation a feature of the best midfielders on the planet is the understanding of when & how to make switches of play. This sequence from Rodri is subtle but significant, and is a consequence of his preparation; timed scans, body shape, distances
