![Josko Gvardiol on how playing the role of ‘reactor’ allows wingers to be “one step ahead” — validating the premise of a psychological advantage for the ball-handler in 1v1 duels. Fits with the [puppet phase] concept. Attacker can ‘pull the strings’; manipulate reactionary state](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1845039219539952069/ext_tw_video_thumb/1845039187466088459/pu/img/GtY4eimVfqV59DWq.jpg)
![I encourage attackers to drive at the hips of defenders for a few reason; — 1v1 is a duel of footwork (momentum) & angles, the avenue to space is through an angle which can disrupt the opponent’s footwork (momentum) — It offers big-space players a reference to be successful in small spaces — Directly confronting the defender (driving/touching the ball towards their hips [centre]) means you’re moving into their ‘personal space’, which naturally makes humans uncomfortable, increasing the probability for the defender to make an impulsive reaction to your action. • We know Garnacho’s relationship with the ball isn’t watertight, a consequence of his narrow footwork, which reflects in his dribbling & shooting actions —> more specifically, his inability to make many multi-directional touches in his stride + his loose connections with the ball. Because of this he’s more likely to pose threat in bigger spaces, as he’s a willing goal-getter & has fair speed, but struggles to manufacture big enough space for his key actions when the opponents congest space deeper. • What trumps all of this is Garnacho lacking methodology in his dribbling, which would help him maximise his strengths & minamise the affect of his weaknesses. Garnacho drives towards the goal with the intention to cut inside and open an angle on his strong foot, but this angle of approach keeps the defender parallel to the ball (good momentum & maintain footwork) and closer to the space inside that Garnacho wants to take If he had driven at the hips (squared his man up) he could’ve; = pushed the opponent’s momentum onto back foot = reduced the need for sharp COD touches to access the inside angle (his weak point) & maintain his own momentum = kept open bigger space either side of him If you want big space, you have to make it. Targetting the defender’s central point within their personal space can support this.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1928103450182648052/amplify_video_thumb/1928103392636792832/img/Puo2iEWVoy7zlK7f.jpg)

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.
