Counterpressing is about angles, not sprint speed
The mid-block is harder to coach than the high press
Football does not actually have five lanes
PPDA cannot compare two different leagues
The low block is a wage bill decision
Nobody counts the run back and it decides matches
Players should own the data their bodies produce
Blame the calendar, not the manager who rotates
A pressing trigger can be faked, and good sides fake it
Video review made stepping up a worse bet
The best counterattacks are rehearsed, not spontaneous
Zonal marking gets blamed because it is legible on television
The overlap run that never gets the ball does the work
The passing lane you leave open is the real plan
Crowd noise readings are marketing, not measurement
Squad load data fails at the meeting, not the sensor
The inverted fullback is a rest defence fix first
