Strengths

Prototype dataset
  • Man-marked press

    Full-pitch marking scheme that suffocates build-up patterns.

  • Turnover value

    High share of shots created within ten seconds of a regain.

  • Recruitment fit

    Signings slot into a very defined physical profile.

Considerations

Prototype dataset
  • Structure when beaten

    One lost duel can open large spaces behind the press.

  • Game control

    Limited ability to slow a match when protecting a lead.

  • Physical load

    Model demands elite conditioning across the squad.
