Reece Hannam's group was solid. Good organization, but Reece stepped up too early, creating a gap. "Reece, good aggression, but you stepped up before the midfield closed the space. Timing. Wait for the second line to engage, then step. Again."
The second attempt was perfect. Collective press, turnover in six seconds. "That's it! Reece, perfect timing. That's leadership. That's captain quality." He grinned, fist-bumped his teammates. Reece Hannam Respect 58% → 64%.
We moved into the 11v11 tactical game. Reds pressing, Blues trying to play out. The first ten minutes were chaos. Players pressing individually, no coordination, Blues playing through with ease. The system showed: Pressing Success Rate 22%. Terrible.
I blew the whistle, stopped play. "What's the trigger?"
"Center-back under pressure?"
"Exactly. So why are you pressing before the trigger? You're wasting energy. Wait. Be patient. Then explode." I made specific corrections.
