SoccerRoom2

Hi guys,

Update from last week soccermeet/training at East Coast Park

We have witnessed a marked improvement in our coordination and integration in relation in particular in our passing. I was impressed.

The guys and i were giving the uncles not an easy time out there. On a number of occassions we can score and win the game straight away, but our finishing shows more improvement. Nevertheless our defence and midfield are improving, really improving.

Please note that this will be our DESIGNATED tactics and way of playing in future:

1. All goalkicks, throws in and or general play will have to be played through the centre midfield.
This means that any defenders or wingers or strikers who has the ball, generally, will PASS to the central midfielders for all general and creative play. The designated CMs are Jinyu and Chengxi respectively. The CMs thus will have to assume their roles during general play by seeking the ball from the other players to start our general play.

The reason why we are enjoying alot of the game during last east coast training is because we have tried this method and it seems to be working. THUS I WILL EMPHASISE STRONGLY ON THIS PLAY! thanks.

2. Defenders: When you guys tackle or clear the balls, either u clear for a throw in and corners OR clear TO the CMs or the wingers. I AM VERY PARTICULAR IN THIS CAUSE THE DEFENDERS ARE THE LAST LINE OF DEFENCE. thanks.

That's all. I wanna keep our play as simple as possible. NO much individual play and our team must be characterised by SIMPLE PASSING.

I don't expect fringe players (ie. those are not regulars) to receive our tactics and our manner of play but i do expect humbly that the core does. So that we know what to do, especially during moments of pressure.

Individual training:

Let's us brush up on our stamina, simple passing and live out our tactics and general play. Thanks.

End.

Daryl
