Swansea City made it two wins from two under new manager Steve Cooper after holding on for a 3-2 victory over Crawley Town.
Here are some of the things you may have missed .
Steve Cooper's persistent one-word order
The Swans flew out of the traps against the Red Devils and raced into a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Nathan Dyer and George Byers.
In addition to dominating possession in the opening 30 minutes or so, Swansea were immensely energetic without it.
There was one particular occasion midway through the opening half where Cooper's side twice re-gained possession in quick succession having lost the ball.
And, particularly earlier on in the match, Cooper could be heard yelling "press" at his players whenever they yielded possession.
The starting front four of Dyer, Oli McBurnie, Yan Dhanda and Barrie McKay pushed very high up the field at every opportunity when not on the ball.
It meant Swansea were able to play on the front foot and were able to dominate against Gabrielle Cioffi's side for long periods in the first half.
"We've been getting up the pitch with good numbers and really looked like we can create and score on many occasions," said the Swansea manager.
"That is what we want to be doing, playing in the opposition's half and being a real threat in and around the box. That would be the biggest plus."
It's a tactic that will need to be fine tuned as many sides - such as Leeds United - see the quick press from opponents as an opportunity to find space further up the pitch themselves.
But it gave a telling insight into what Cooper wants from his players off the ball.
The shirt number hint
Just hours before kick-off at Crawley, the Swans officially revealed the list of squad numbers for the 2019/20 season.
Summer signing Jake Bidwell has chosen to wear the No. 24 shirt while Yan Dhanda has taken the No. 21 jersey vacated by Daniel James.
Other changes see Joe Rodon take the No. 4 shirt and Declan John wear the number three on his back following the recent exit of Martin Olsson.
Leroy Fer's No. 8 shirt will now be worn by Matt Grimes, Courtney Baker-Richardson is the new number 17 while Brandon Cooper and Cian Harries will wear 36 and 29 respectively.
But there was one change that pretty much answered a question fans have been asking for some time.
Barrie McKay took to the field against Crawley with the number seven on the back of his white shirt, the figure previously given to Jefferson Montero.
The Ecuador international has not featured in either of Swansea's two pre-season games to date while he has not trained with the club this summer, either in Swansea or during their week-long camp in Spain.
He - along with Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew and Borja Baston - all have "TBC" written next to their names on the club's official squad list.
A rule change
A new manager brings new ideas. And as well as fresh thoughts, there are new players involved.
But there was also one new rule change in clear operation in the win at Crawley.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) announced that several changes would come into effect for the 2019/20 season in the Premier League and the English Football League.
Alterations have been made to several laws including those on time-wasting as well as Video Assistant Referees.
And fans were able to watch a different rule in use at Crawley, with goalkeepers Kristoffer Nordfeldt and Steven Benda both being able to pass goal-kicks to team mates inside their own penalty area.
Given Swansea's determination to play out from the back when possible, it's nothing new to see their goalkeeper passing to a defender rather than lumping it beyond the halfway line.
But the tweak in the rules means Nordfeldt, Benda or Erwin Mulder will now be able to legitimately play short passes to a team-mate inside his own area from a goal-kick.
The suits watch on
Cooper took a 22-man squad with him to Crawley.
And in making five changes just after the hour mark having already sent on six substitutes at the break, it means each of the players who travelled to West Sussex got some game-time.
But it wasn't just on the pitch that Swansea took big numbers.
Crawley announced that 419 of the 2,165 fans in attendance were members of the Jack Army.
As well as the travelling supporters, chairman Trevor Birch and club legend Leon Britton were also in attendance.
Both were seen having lengthy talks with Cooper prior to kick-off while Birch took several calls on his mobile phone before the match got under way.
It's been another hectic summer as far as the Swans are concerned.
And the decision-makers are working full-time to give the Swans every opportunity of success in Cooper's debut season at SA1.
