Sometimes one touch.
Sometimes two.
Sometimes holding the ball just long enough to draw someone in before releasing it.
Nothing forced.
Nothing rushed.

"Compact when we lose it!" Nagelsmann called. "Don't wait—react!"
The ball circulated from the back again, moving through Tah into Kimmich, then forward into the attacking line. Lukas drifted slightly into the half-space, just enough to stay available without crowding the central channel. When the pass came, he didn't hold it—one touch into Wirtz, who immediately switched play wide.
The move developed quickly from there, ending in a shot that forced the goalkeeper into a save.
"Again!" Nagelsmann shouted.
The repetition continued.
The session didn't slow down.
