"We got away with that once. Don't give him the same cross again."
Demien looked from Bernardo frozen on the screen to Haaland waiting beyond United's line.
He drank, wiped the sweat off his face, and asked, "What happens if Álvarez drags Sofyan the other way before Bernardo overlaps?"
Ten Hag moved the markers. "Then you can't just abandon the center to follow Bernardo. Diogo or the nearest wide player has to delay the overlap long enough for the back line to reset. Harry and Jonny cannot both step toward the same delivery — one of them has to stay with Haaland regardless of where the ball goes."
He switched to the equalizer, freezing it with Rashford pulling Rodri toward City's left, Demien attacking the space behind him.
