Short, compact, clear
Psycho tricks with the free kick: He also feels responsible for the standards at the record champions: “Before the season, I joined the free kick takers right after training. I asked what exactly they do, what the processes are like and what they focus on. We went through situations together for weeks.”
Also on duty during the game: Pelka is right there: “I have the same video access as the analysts and then I can see the games in front of me.” Five minutes before half-time he meets the analyst to exchange ideas. Then the direct conversation with Julian follows.”
