Today was a tough match through and through. Tough conditions. Tough opponent. I believe we get punished sometimes for trying to play possession soccer, trying to play out of the back, building attacks, and looking to combine. We will make errors in judgement and technique, but in the long run we will improve more.
We defended better in midfield with improved communication - something we've been working on. Now we need to build on that and take it to the next level in team resiliency.
I was pleased that we were able to create chances. I think the girls are learning that the level of desire needed to score in this league is higher than they are used to and we are building up to team understanding.
It was good to see old friends playing well too. See you on Monday.
Training focus for the next two weeks: Defending + Advanced Possession.
