Role Clarity that's also a challenge. In fact is probably the biggest challenge because when you speak to them go through every nobody so what some double the guard what do you want to know how to do sir? Not even the first offender at the run around? In close Okay, once the job of the next one where they were some recording audio guys. So there's there's there's sneaky 9 he's playing against someone like add any care or a bin Young's through the visual watch the people go by giving you a little bit of an elderly years and as they pick you up, you know, who exactly was coming. Yeah. So this guy anything tightly like a number eight unit circle forward picking and going in. That's his job. That is super I'm not very good artists have been so if he starts or sniping around here this sort of area. Do we want God to chasten? No, so bodyguard picks him up. Yeah, absolutely. So typically your bodyguard of whatever you want to call. It is looking after anybody that's into that second Channel as long as I understand the basic principle of what we want. Then we can adjust accordingly the nightmares when everybody has a different principle and they will say we should be doing something different and then you got a problem. Okay, so having this role Clarity, so and that's great in the first 10 minutes of the game God and that's when the longer the game goes on. White the game opens up and pulls up nothing's people switch off because people get 14 and the first thing that goes in felt quite yeah. So it's it's a that's a challenging getting that session so that in training they are fatigued but they're not so pretty they can't think so. You can just stop it. Right what's gone wrong? Why is it got through the aisle? I didn't nominate and that it a try. Okay, let's do it again. So that Try and read that confidence that no matter how Thailand I'm just gonna guard and use the more reason to be built on a guy and then the next one comes in once he's a God. I know what I'm body. I non one and the whole thing flows of make sense good.
