After reviewing our previous match, I knew he was in top form, particularly with dribbling and crosses. I focused on addressing my weaknesses in preparation.

I requested mental coaching from the team, which greatly benefitted me. Additionally, our team is adept at adapting to the meta, and I engaged in numerous discussions with teammates and coaches.

There is pressure, but I view such experiences as essential for growth. I am striving to make the most of it and enjoy the journey.
Q. What do you need to improve during the remaining time to get closer to a championship?
