We
continue in first place!! We continue playing
very well -- the defense is impeccable. I
am totally convinced that they are the best
part of this team and that this winning burst
is thanks to them. It is so easy to play when
the team defends well. We have a line of four
that defends with all and without letting
the other forwards breathe. I have nothing
more to say; not a single error from the four
in the back -- not even when we make substitutions.
A wall!!! I believe that the midfield played
a little light considering the quantity of
balls that were distributed and especially
since we dominated so much of the game --
and the defense delivered the ball to us time
and time again. We did not utilize each opportunity
to the max, and it was clear that we unable
to generate enough situations at the goal.
Players were well marked, but we played with
a lot of pace and we stayed organized most
of the game. But there were several opportunities
from the midfield which failed after the ball
was delivered to the forwards who missed easy
shots. The forwards wasted many goals in the
‘bad spell’, but Fernando Camps
and Charly were well guarded and the perfect
ball was never quite delivered. The field
did not help since the ball was sliding very
fast and their goalkeeper played a great game
(he saved several goals and was the center
of his team). Of course, this would have been
regretable if we had failed to score with
all those opportunities on goal, but by luck
and with the luxury of being able to miss
several goals, we nail them for 3 -- and that
is not so little. The new players (Joaocarlos
and Steve) showed us the spirit of soccer,
two new veterans on the team (with Scott and
Ben we now have a veteran in each line). We
will be referring to these guys as the granddads
on the 30-40; and they can also play on the
O 40 too. Veterans Congratulations!! In conclusion
I believe that the team is solid and we play
the game of football by touch -- to the goal
with a lot of good passes. If we all join
and play together and not just PASS AND RUN
after the ball, then I expect that this team
will continue very well. MVP. Sorry, but it
continues to be the defense (included the
goalkeeper). None deserves less than MVP,
so it goes to them all. HM. Charly Ruiz, he
forces and forces and forces, goes to the
middle, passes, orders, runs and he never
gets tired of running. Sorry Charly that we
had to take away your minutes. LVP. The players
that didn't come. Fix your week and come play
FOOTBALL. |
