We had a real patchwork team. Mauro was hurt, so he had to play cautiously. Then Nelson ended up getting hurt. |
We tell our kids all the time, that soccer is won and lost in the midfield. |
We thought Will broke his leg, but he has a deep bone bruise. Nelson has horrible shin splints and Luis has a nasty bruise. It's yellow and purple. We've joked around that it looks like some kind of disease, because it's spread over his entire leg. |
We'll probably go with a 4-4-2 configuration that emphasizes possession. We're not overly talented, and we don't have any superstars. We don't have that guy that would be on a poster. We'll rely on all 11 players to get organized and work hard for each other. |
We're trying to implement our overall ideas and thoughts. We're trying to do that with high school kids that have been exposed to lots of different ideas already. |
We've got a couple of guys that can hit the ball. |
We've made significant progress this year. Everyone has made progress as soccer players. It just bums me out that it's taken this long. But we know that the juniors will have the basic ideas down when they come back next season. |
