U13 2012

It was a beautiful night, but a very difficult match against a tough team with very tough (and big) players who won most of the balls. Once again the boys found a way to overcome adversity and a 1-0 deficit on a gift given to the other team. On tough matches these gifts cannot happen - all the other team needs to do is close itself up at the back and it's game over.

The opponents were attacking en force on our left flank in the 1st half, with our left midfield giving little support. We changed positions on the 2nd half to deal with that. Other notes:

• Our gk had some good saves in the 2nd half
• A very bad call from the referee to which our striker did not say a word back. Good job by V.
• The opponents were swearing, ours were not.
• Noah had a very good 2nd half
• Great playing by the three call-ups with Massimo and Peter playing defense (getting used to our other players), and a beauty by Monti, who also almost scored on a beautiful free kick.
• A spectacular pass by Francois for V to score the 2nd goal. Won the ball, looked and quickly passed a sweet precise ball for V to score. Keep your head up players, always be aware of where each of your teammates is.
• Great playing by Adamo - as always-  and also Stefano on top of the box in the 2nd half.

Remember: this is not a war to win at all costs. WE PLAY FAIR. That is the spirit of the game. Let the opponents do all the ugly things they want. We don't do it.

Play fair and play hard. Then the coaches and the parents will be proud of you.
