Great performance on Saturday 9-0 against Japan ! I tell you its not easy to win a game 9-0 but the fact that we kept the pace high and wanted to score more for the full 90 minutes is what made the difference ! Our one on one’s needs more training I know its rather easy on Tomas but practice will do wonders ! We scored 12 goals in the last three games and conceded only 1 / that’s an impressive record and that’s the sign of a team in good shape ! we will play the Vikings next week for the Cup and that will be a perfect challenge for us as we need to find a formula to crack teams who don’t like to play but just defend !

SPL

The Sunday lions are struggling this year we are missing a few key players who left China in December and sofar we couldn’t find enough replacements. As expected the game versus the Hard Days Night would be hard as they have a strong and well balanced team this season ! We didn’t start well and they seemed more hungry for the win ! We were 2-0 down in 15 minutes which makes it difficult for the game plan however Lions are still Lions and we fought back to 2-2. At that time we were getting more and more in control but a gift in the last minute of the first half was the “killer blow”. Second half we were better and they hardly were dangerous / Joel hit the post and we gave them another gift..

Statistics don’t lie in our last three games we scored 6 goals but conceded 10 goals ! Most of them were gifts / I have no problem to lose especially if we face a better opponent but if we are just giving it away its hard to swallow ! First priority is to get our defense back in order with the help of the midfield if we don’t concede we will win the games as we always score / there has not been one single Lions game we didn’t score ! As well would like to remind you to come to the training as we badly need that we have a fantastic training field and in training we can work on our weaknesses !

We will play the Super 48 on Sunday and that’s a perfect team to get back in the winning mode / Lets keep the zero and score a lot of goals !

 

Cheers
