Keep it simple, stupid

Maybe Mourinho does it better? Maybe Wenger? Maybe our coaches should google "soccer training session" and get the latest information. 

The Olathe East Men's Varsity Soccer team played Olathe North West! A cloudy sky had moved through the area and the forecast called for a humid and storms. Both teams came out hard and fast. When I am saying fast, it is too fast. It is like table tennis, back and forth. On both sides, it was long ball, high pressure and try your luck.  After 10 minutes, our central defender had a miscommunication with our goal keeper and could have critical for the Hawks! Few minutes later, we got a shot on goal without great conviction.
Our tactics is to sub every 5 minutes or to move players in a different position or to sub a player to tell him that they need to put more pressure. It is too bad because there is a fantastic player in the middle of the field that is trying hard. With a little more possession of the ball, Hawks could control their destiny. 

Hawks had 2 great opportunities to score! Hawks GK made 4 saves and we had 4 shots on goal and few misses... The weather stopped us. The game will be rescheduled.

It is hugely difficult to imagine the future. What do you think?
