Jonah
Me dropping the second has nothing to do with my physicality. It’s a concentration factor.
I started off almost too well, and everything was really comfortable, so then I lost focus a bit, lost my length, got stuck behind him and started going short at the wrong times, making errors.
These guys are too good to have that lapse of concentration against so I had to switch it on back again in the third, which I really did from half way and then again, it was quite patchy, but I managed to turn it on when it mattered.
Someone like Leo just can keep on going all day at a certain pace so I wanted to try and make sure to vary the pace but also physically, it can’t really hurt me if I’m just gluing the ball against the wall, so that was the angle, get him stuck behind me, go short when I’m in front, and when I stayed disciplined to that, I was going through winning patches…
