  2. Confidence Under Pressure – 1v1 situations require composure. Champions stay calm and execute their moves with precision.

  3. Quick Decision-Making – With only 10 seconds to score, players must think ahead, read their opponent’s movements, and react instantly.

  4. Defensive Strength – A great defender isn’t just about stopping goals. It’s about strategic positioning, controlled aggression, and smart tackling.

  5. Mental Toughness – Every match is a test of endurance. The best players learn from setbacks and use failures as fuel for success.
