SNN 7 - Verona 4 ( Friendly Nov 15 )

I knew we could beat them.

French players started showing up at TIM a couple of weeks ago
and we added a great new offensive player, Syl Sewell.


Things to work on:


Picking up the free-rolling ball ( me :( )

Ball came bouncing into my area where I was all by myself,
I jumped at it, missed,
jumped at it again, missed again,
but still had a third chance, and missed again,
then an opponent got it and scored.


Opening kick.

I wrote about this a couple of blogs ago.
The opponents took advantage of the hesitation of the receiver
waiting to make sure he had possession of the ball
and made a quick easy score.
Offensive players need to train for the opening kick so that it cannot be intercepted.



Shooting on the run still needs to be practiced.

Tactics with short passes and hand-offs should be developed and practiced.
I think this will make a difference later on as opponent's defenses improve.



There was more play than talk this time. :)
