U16 Calcio Talent and Select - UFCA UFCA U16
We lost by the same margin last week… however, the feeling our team have is completely different.
From the start of the game our intensity was excellent, our desire to win the ball and win our duels was also brilliant. I saw a team full of players wanting to win a game, and wanting to compete in every duel.
We went 3-0 down, from 3-4 chances, some of which I thought were clearly offside. The freekick from Rhyley really helped us bring belief into the team that we can go on and compete in the game.
Our attitude in the second half was exceptional, every player fought and ran for each other. We had to go for it and went with 3 at the back, but credit to all the players who had to play in positions they aren’t familiar with. We were the better team in the second half, and at one point I felt we might go on and get an equaliser. I also thought our press was excellent today at times and we forced them into loads of mistakes which they weren’t used too.
This was a performance, we can all be proud of! We must continue to bring this level again next week against another tough side in Guisely.
MOTM today for me would be Joe - set the standard in terms of his work rate across the pitch.
