+xCity have also been brilliant in Ball Possession Opposition. The City front three's intensive squeezing in the Defensive Transition and BPO has been outstanding in their Full Press game plan. Brilliantly coached by Kisnorbo.

I'm baffled at your constant use of high brow academic terms to describe simple football concepts.
