Today must be a WARRIOR day full of WARRIOR soccer with a WARRIOR win. League game. Do not assume last year’s Pen Argyl will be this year’s Pen Argyl. In fact, don’t think about them at all. Nameless faces. Think about YOUR preparation, YOUR communication, YOUR work rate, etc.

Keys:

1. Press, Press, Press. Do not give them an inch to breathe.

2. Rotate in the back and midfield. As the ball shifts, so do we. The diagonal on the opposite side of the field is less dangerous then the ball side runs.

3. QUALITY soccer. Nice triangles, including in the attacking third. Do not be afraid to rip it IF you have an open shot. Avoid blasting it into bodies. Look for that pass.

4. COMMUNICATE. I have yet to see this year the FULL ON, BELT IT OUT kind of communicating we want off the ball in all thirds of the field, particularly with marking but also in helping teammates with the pass. MORE of this the better.

5. FINISH – we must finish our chances. Be calm and strike like a snake.

Noah is absent today as we will need to stay healthy in the back. Let the ball do the work.

YOU GOT THIS MEN!
