EFA Jaguars vs Broomwood FC (Youth) U11 Mercurials

Great job, everyone!

Today we had a very good game and came away with a 3–0 win. From the beginning, we looked like the stronger team. Our midfield dominated the pitch, allowing us to move the ball from one side to the other, take players on 1v1 and create chances.

Our defence was very solid. Our defenders managed to neutralise their attackers and showed great maturity in their play. They delayed perfectly and waited for the right moment to put in the challenge. Our positioning, communication and aggression have improved significantly since last year, and we dominated our duels.

We were the team that wanted the ball, wanted to fight and wanted to win the most. This dedication, aggression and passion showed how much everyone has improved and how much of a team we have created. The atmosphere within the team is brilliant, and today showed what we are capable of, especially playing three divisions higher than last season.

We still need to improve our first touch, as this significantly affected our game at times. We need to move the ball faster and think ahead, especially in and around the box. Many chances were stopped because we took too long to make the next action or had a poor first touch, which made things much more difficult for ourselves.

Overall, we played brilliantly. I really enjoyed seeing you all come together and play some quality football. Congratulations on a great performance and on this well-deserved win. I hope you all enjoy it!

I would also like to thank all the parents for being there with us. It is always such a pleasure to have you supporting the team. I hope you are proud of the boys, as they have improved so much.

Congratulations, everyone! A fantastic 3–0 win and a great team performance!

Your coach,

Antonio
