Takeaways from training:

- Jackson instructed to drop deeper than attackers behind him, switch to either wing and attack box
- Mudryk's agility is supremely

After Chilly misplaced a pass which allowed Zenit to break, Kova won the ball back. When the ball came to Jorgi, he passed it Chilly and made a "keep it" gesture, as if encouraging him to keep it and not let one mistake take his confidence away.
That's what good leaders do.
