Game 4

AC Malcantone vs Emmen

After our loss last week, our coach was fired and we now have a new, incredible, coach. He won the respect of our team in the first five minutes of the first practice with him...amazing. After only 3 practices we are a completely new team. Now we ARE a team. I do not know what we were before. Yesterday we pulled out our first win of the season. Emmen is not a very good team, but we played well and scored two goals in the last 8 minutes of the game to win 2-0.

I subbed into the game with 35 min left in the second half and played better than I have since I have been here. We are playing yet another new system, but this time we are playing the system very very well. It is a flat-back 4 defense, then two central defensive midfielders, then three offensive midfielders, and one forward. I will try to do some explanation in the next few days. It worked well for us yesterday and we have another game Wednesday against a very good team. We will see how it works against a better team.
