Matt Potter<p>I also realise that this same personality trait was what I took pride in as a footballer. </p><p>Defence all the way: shut the predators down. Use presence, space &amp; psychology to strip all their choices away. Force them to act out of urgency; capitulate or retreat. Protect the goalie. </p><p>No feeling like it.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/football" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>football</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/defending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>defending</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/soccer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>soccer</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WorldCup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldCup</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/fifaworldcup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fifaworldcup</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a></p>
