Woodley United U8 Spitfires v Woodley United U8 Tornadoes
Our game today started with our warm up, we were passing and moving with 3 attackers and 1 defender in a box and they were asked to get the ball forward as quickly as possible and then defend in the attacking half.
They started the game with a very high tempo and were finding some key passes to create some very good chances. They were able to identify very early on the importance of passing and supporting the player in possession.
At half time we asked them why we were getting the ball forward quickly, defending from the front and looking for passes instead of running with the ball. All answers were perfect which showed their understanding.
The second half bought out a stunning team performance, great saves from Corey, perfect positioning and thinking from Bailey, Darren picked out some pinpoint passes, Makenzie covered every position possible trying to win the ball back whilst Sebs positioning, understanding and clinical finishing gave us an enthralling second half of football.
Effort of the match - Makenzie, played midfield the whole game and did not stop running and won 75% of his challenges
Player of the match - Seb, proved his understanding of all drills in training has been learnt and his performance reflected that
