Ime Okon is going to have a very long Bafana Bafana career if he can remain injury free. Iβve seen some good signs from him today. Aerially, physically and technically!π€πΎπΏπ¦ππβ½οΈ

That pass is a textbook tactic to draw the press from the opponent. The DM usually receives that ball and acts as a βmagnetβ to lure an extra opposing player into stepping forward.
This destabilises the opponents shape and can create numerical superiority in more advanced areas of the pitch IF your DM doesnβt receive square and can turn or start a sequence that helps the team quickly play through the press/lines.
What looks like inviting pressure in one zone can effectively free up space in the next phase of play. Football is a game of strategic gambles.
