That is to have those players in position.
So I think Chelsea worked really well at basically destroying against Brighton was they'd get the ball out, they'd pop it in into the front man, get out wide, get wing back, uh draw a hatto out and start the move that way.
Um
So there's two teams there that have got real opposing strengths.
Chelsea are phenomenal on the counterattack.
Arsenal really don't concede counterattack goals.
They're one of the best teams in the league at stopping that.
Partly because of the structure and also as Rob's mentioned, partly because of the physical capabilities of their centre backs who can go man to man, have got the recovery s uh pace to to get back and defend.
So that part I think will be a really fun aspect of the game.

The player that ends up scoring.
So it's about encouraging those wide players to get into those scoring positions.
Um, so this was the idea, the bonus back, the extra player, because who's most likely to switch off defensively?
Probably the opposition winger, and it means they can kind of be the player that that gets in.
And um, I wrote about it during the World Cup because we just saw a lot of it.
We had kind of Daniel Munoz was doing it, you know, really, really well for Colombia, um, Ivan Peresich in in the game against England for Croatia, a bit more as a wing.
