State Cup ending-
We got knocked out a round earlier than we thought 2-1 vs San Diego Soccer Club. Interesting thing is we played our best game. We have had our most dangerous offensive player out injured for several weeks and we need him to keep the opponents honest. He is likely the quickest player in the area and teams have to respect his ability to get behind defenses and finish on any ball that gets past the back line. It opens up scoring chances for our other players. We missed a few wide open scoring opportunities and that was the difference. Gave up 2 counter attack goals.
Pressure- Scored our lone goal on team pressure. We pressure better against organized teams and the SDSC team just played it long out of the back due to high pressure . We dominated time of possession but just arent linking passes in the final 1/3. So pressure worked well but missing that final 1/3 link made a lop sided game close and resulted in a loss.
Playing out from the back-MUCH IMPROVED- We pressured with over lapping defenders as we attacked out from the back often. Had one set of amazing touches, foot to foot switches to one side. opponent reacted well, thus reset with a pass back to the goalie who opened up the field and we connected 8 touches for a cross and a near miss. I made a big deal out of this play and we look much more comfortable in the back all game.
