Jake's Office, Sunday Night
Rain ticked softly against the glass. Jake Wilson sat back in his chair, arms folded, watching the system dashboard breathe pale light across the study walls.
The interface pulsed once, then unfurled its verdict:
System Prediction
PAOK Win – 35%
Bradford Win – 35%
Draw – 30%
Balanced. Narrow. Jake's eyes didn't blink.
He brought up the tactical overlay—a still frame of PAOK's shape in a recent match. 4-2-3-1 on paper, but on transition? Chaos. Fullbacks pushed too high. The midfield line crumbled on recovery.
Jake tapped the keyboard. Lines highlighted and tracked forward runs.
— Vulnerable in 1v1s. Especially wide.
— Left-side channel between CB/LB leaks under pressure.
— Lose late runners when pressing with dual FBs.
The footage froze on a two-second clip: a winger caught one-on-one. Body shape wrong. Gap behind. Goal.
Jake leaned forward. Quietly:
"Overlap. Trigger. Entry late."
He keyed in Bradford's plan.
