💡 Idea of the week

Lastly, some neat advice from Vincent Kompany on defending 1-on-1s:

Vincent Kompany giving advices on the way to defend 1v1 is so interesting to listen to : • Using your arm to manage distance • Anticipate acceleration. • If going wide, touchline is the best defender you can have. Brilliant.

Hope you enjoyed this - until next time!
