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.
