What does a club in Japan have to do with Antoine Griezmann, Argentina, and Morocco national teams? In this article, we will talk about what we call ‘Performance Keys’ in the Ekkono Method Pros approach to game models.
These performance keys, part of the Ekkono Method Pros program, help the team elevate their performance throughout the season. At Nara Club (Japan), they identified three performance keys last season, which helped them keep a very solid level throughout the whole season and helped them become champions and promote in the J-League.

So let’s start with the beginning, what are the ‘Performance Keys’? These are those concepts that as a team, especially in the Performance Stage, you should select and keep present throughout the whole season. It is important that they are based on your game model, as they will be a very important part of your identity as a team. And of course, they should be present in every microcycle of the whole season.
Antoine Griezmann
The first Performance Key identified at Nara Club last season is related to a concept that the French superstar proved really well during the last World Cup. Griezmann, who played as an attacking midfielder for France, was always thinking about balancing the team, both in attack in defense.
This fundamental helps the team be compact as a block in all phases of the game, and it was the first performance identified by Nara Club, under the Ekkono Method Pros program.
