WED: Matchday (MD)
THU ( #MD+1):
rest
FRI ( #MD+2): sandwiched in a 3-game week
1-game week, players could train
speed on #MD-2
Today they couldn't because they're at #MD+2
Periodization requires a game without speed
square pitch, 
no angles
Emphasis on agility & fun https://twitter.com/CobhamChels/status/1355206206567006210

Training periodization: the WHAT you can do relative to when's the next game
Game without speed, ball shielding (strength) can be boring or joy-killing for players
The imput of creative coaches (Tuchel) is to make those training games enjoyable = the HOW
Tweaking the rules

Why no speed (runs in behind) or un-necessary strength (ball shielding) today? 
It's an injury risk for players who are having their first training session since the last gameIt's likely that the game was on a square pitch, neutral players, and no direction (no offside)
Nobody invented sliced bread here but that's still a cool thing to see
It's really hard to combine good training periodization (get players fit and avoid injuries) with a good enough tactical input, whilst keeping it enjoyable for players.
