Luis Enrique, Kylian Mbappe. An amazing secret conversation.
Not even a player of Mbappe’s level is allowed to be passive off of the ball.
A great lesson for all young players. It’s not surprise how successful this PSG is👇
Final Third | Dribbling with Your Arms
In tight situations, it’s not just about the feet.
The attacker can use their arms to block the tackle, create space, and unbalance the defender.
Final Third | Not the Typical
Many coaches say players should make deep runs and attack the half-space.
But that’s only part of the picture.
The key detail? The curve of the run.
Curved runs into the deep half-space create a better crossing angle.
No matter what your talent level is, you control your choices:
Attitude is a choice
Being on Time is a choice
Hard work is a choice
Effort is a choice
Coachability is a choice
Pushing yourself is a choice
Doing extra is a choice
Eating/Sleeping right is a choice
Good example for our 3v2 Longs:
-Garnacho cuts in and challenges the defenders
-This movement with the ball commits the defender to him AND opens space to his right
-Bruno slides into the open space and scores
Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid - Importance of horizontal switch to move the opposition defence line + 'diagonal progression' to create space & time to enter the final third #NexusChallenge@MetricaSports
We needed everyone this past weekend and achieved what no other MN team did: semi-finalist in both the USA Cup Gold Bracket in 2023 & 2024.
Well done.

We want to be "ball dominant". This doesn't just mean possession. We want to aggressively win the ball. This means tackling, pressing, or fouling within seconds of losing possession. Watch how Uruguay and Argentina play aggressive in Copa.
Uruguay had the highest Aggression% in the Copa América 2024 group stages: tackling, pressing, or fouling 27% of their opponent's ball receipts within two seconds
The USA had the lowest Aggression% with 15%
