You tend to focus too much on the ball-side options when building out. I see that once pressure comes, your body orientation closes off the weak side. In this situation, the free man is available — but you scan too late to take advantage. If you open up earlier and check that opposite side once before the pass comes in, the whole buildup flows clean. This is about shaping the play, not just surviving it.

Across multiple phases, you’re arriving too honest. You carry the habit of reacting to the final action, rather than anticipating the untracked window behind the last line. There’s a consistent delay between wide progression and your box entry — enough to be seen, marked, or bypassed. At the elite level, midfielders don’t arrive early or late — they arrive unaccounted for. This principle is about timing your ghosting run with the moment defenders fixate on the ball, not after.

One thing I want you to focus on is the aggressive mindset required to play forward — even if it’s a risky pass, it forces the press to break shape and opens lanes for your team. The principle here is clear: inside the press, you must push the tempo with forward intent to disrupt pressing triggers; outside the press, you should reset and play around, building the attack with control and precision.
