![Siphesihle Ndlovu and the Double Pivot: Tactical Analysis📝 Out of Possession Siphesihle Ndlovu is a box-to-box midfielder in its purest form. Defensively, he was excellent at recoveries, closing gaps, cutting off passing lanes, and making well-timed interceptions. His anticipation and positional awareness allowed him to support the defense effectively. He maintained a high work rate, consistently tracking back and covering spaces behind the press, which was crucial for stabilizing the fullbacks, especially with Monyane looking flat. Even during periods when his influence in possession dipped, Ndlovu continued to deliver a solid shift out of possession, working alongside Maboe to break up play, win tackles, and apply pressure on the ball. In Possession Ndlovu embraced his box-to-box role, always looking to support the player on the ball, always trying to move the ball forward with line-breaking passes. He carried the ball whenever space allowed and maintained a vertical mindset, favoring forward passes over sideways or backward options. This approach helped the team establish attacking momentum early on. However, in the final 3rd, Ndlovu’s actions leaned too heavily towards shooting. Maboe created more chances[3] than Ndlovu[1], though Ndlovu was the more adventurous between the 2. He limited his actions far from the box. While Maboe prioritized creating opportunities in the final 3rd, Ndlovu often opted to shoot even when he had a teammate in a better position. His pass timing and selection was a concern too. This was especially problematic since Silva was often isolated, with no supply, and so the team needed more support in the final 3rd. With improved judgment in these moments, our quality in the final 3rd would have also received a boost from the midfield and, overall, avoid wasted opportunities. Ndlovu🤝🏾Maboe The double pivot provided balance and control, especially in the first 30 minutes. They kept excellent distances between, denying Arrows the chance to settle & play through midfield. This dominance was most evident early on, with the team controlling the game physically and tactically. Their chemistry was exciting. Whenever they combined, the entire attacking flow looked clean and well-balanced. They were very direct, which demanded high physical output due to the constant need to support forward passes and track back. This lack of patience in possession may have been influenced by Arrows’ aggressive pressing, forcing quicker decisions and increasing physical demands. Or it's part of our high intensity attacking football the coaches favor. After 30min, the team’s attacking intensity dropped, and the combinations between Ndlovu and Maboe became less frequent. This loss of rhythm allowed Arrows more time on the ball, suggesting fatigue in midfield, a trend that continued into the 2nd half. Tactical Considerations and Impact on the Partnership We didn't show much improvement coming from half time. Maboe was becoming less and less influential. The turning point came with the substitution of Maboe for Mabaso. Although this change was relatively late, considering how less influential the midfield remained after the break, Mabaso had an immediate impact. His energy revived the midfield and brought Ndlovu back into the game, demonstrating that Ndlovu still had the legs and capacity to influence the match, what he needed was renewed support and intensity around him, especially with Shabalala offering limited influence as a 10. In the final 15 minutes, the team regained control, pressed higher up the pitch, and created better attacking moments. We looked like we could score a 2nd goal. The combinations returned, the forward passing improved, and Ndlovu once again became influential in driving the team’s play. Tactically, an earlier sub could have restored control and allowed those attacking moments to come before Silva’s sub. A good overall performance from Siphesihle Ndlovu📝 Video analysis with notes:](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2014312666957844730/ext_tw_video_thumb/2014312380541407232/pu/img/aPTOHWhsF8GuXyas.jpg)
![Ernst Jünger on Pforzheim bombing aftermath I had the impression of sitting at table with ghosts of the departed who spoke of things before their death On 23 February 1945, the Royal Air Force bombed the city of Pforzheim. Relatively speaking, it is said to be the most devastating conventional air attack of all time: 31.4% of the population perished. Estimates vary. One source says more than 17,600 died. One says they were killed in 16 minutes, another puts it at 22 minutes. See photos and descriptions below. Around mid-October 1945 Jünger makes his first trip since the occupation through destroyed cities to visit his brother Friedrich Georg. The worst hit was Pforzheim. There he overhears a conversation among a group of refugees from East Prussia and Pomerania who had fought their way through to the west. Among other things, he hears that a mother gave herself to be raped instead of her daughter 5 times before she crossed the Elbe river. Jünger is filled with horror not so much at such things but at the calmness with which they are said: “I had the impression of sitting at table with ghosts of the departed who spoke of things before their death. At the same time I was troubled by the immense danger developing here, more threatening than all the means of destruction that the technologist [Techniker] can think of. The taboos are becoming obsolete [werden hinfällig].” Photos Top left: Aerial view from Records of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), Summer 1945. Top right: City center in ruins.
