What we worked on today
A focused session. The players stayed engaged from start to finish, and that intensity carried into every drill.
Highlights
·Sharp passing through the middle, with players scanning before they received the ball.
·Compact defensive shape, the back line stayed connected and talked to each other.
·Real energy in the small-sided games, everyone wanted to be on the ball.
What we can do better
·First touch under pressure still slips in tight spaces, a few avoidable turnovers.
·The wide players drifted inside too early, so we lost width in the final third.
Next focus
·Receiving on the half turn to play forward faster.
·Holding width in attack so we can switch the play.
