Top speed graphics tell you almost nothing worth knowing
Rotation costs you the understanding, not the legs
Press the hips, not the ball
A high line is a goalkeeper's contract, not a defender's
Most teams have no plan for the second wave
Nobody ever blames a man-marking scheme
The overlap that nobody uses is still doing work
A passing lane is opened by the man who is not passing
The crowd you hear on television is a mix desk decision
Minutes played is a terrible unit of work
Inverting a full-back is really a rest defence choice
Counterpressing starts before you lose the ball
The far-side winger decides how wide your block really is
Nobody is assigned to stop the cutback and it is the best pass in the game
Pressing is about denying the switch, not counting the passes
A low block only works if somebody is already running
Every recovery run is a rest you already spent
