MikeD Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Transcript Mo: Alright boys, we haven't scored a goal in two months. I'm not putting it all on your shoulders, but there's a couple of tips I want to give you two since you're both new to this level of football. Braz: Should I be booting the ball even farther up the field coach? Mo: Uh, no Adam. That's actually what I want to talk to you about. I really like the defensive side of your game, but I want to talk to you about what you do when you get the ball. Braz: You mean "Boot-it-up-the-field Time?" Mo: Well, booting it up the field is one of the things you can do, but there are other things as well. Lombardo: Things like passing it laterally? Mo: Yes, that's one thing. Braz: Laterally, like, into the stands? I already do that when I can't get it up the field. Lombardo: I always pass it laterally, but usually it's to another player on the field. Sometimes that player is a teammate. Mo: Uh, actually Andrea, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. You see, passing it laterally is good in certain situations, but, as a striker, I think you should also think about shooting the ball occasionally. Lombardo: Sh-sh-shooting? Braz: You mean into the stands? Mo: No, I mean shooting it at the net. Lombardo: At the net? That's what other players do. I'm the set-up man. Mo: No, Andrea, you're a striker. You need to shoot. Lombardo: I don't understand. Mo: You know how, last night against Dallas, in about the 17th minute, you had the ball in the middle of the park about 20 yards from goal? Lombardo: Uh-huh. Mo: And you passed it sideways to Colin Samuel? Lombardo: Yeah! (smiles) Mo: Well I'm just saying that when you're 20 yards out, directly in front of goal, and there's no defender on, it's a good time to shoot. Braz: Yeah, right into the stands! Mo: No, at the net. Lombardo: I don't get it. Mo: When you have the ball in front of the net, and no defender is on you to keep you from shooting, you should... Lombardo: Pass it to Colin Samuel? Braz: Boot it up the field? Mo: No, shoot! Lombardo: You mean put it out wide to to Todd Dunivant? Braz: You mean shoot it into the stands? Mo: No, shoot it at the net! Lombardo: Oh, okay, now I get it. Mo: Thank God. Lombardo: You want me to pound it all the way back to Kenny! Braz: And then Kenny can pass it to me and I can boot it all the way back up the field! Mo: No! Shoot it at the other team's net. Lombardo: Huh? Braz: At the other team's net from 80 yards away? Mo: No Adam, I still need to talk to you about short passes. You shouldn't always boot it up the field. Lombardo: Short passes? That's what I do. (Tyrone Marshall walks in) Mo: Tyrone, maybe you can help me. If Andrea were a striker on another team, and he were in front of the goal you were defending, what would you not want him to do? Marshall: If he comes anywhere near me I'll break his leg! Braz: And then boot it up the field! Mo: No, shoot! Lombardo: Pass? Mo: No, shoot! Lombardo: Dive and draw a penalty? Marshall: You won't have to dive, 'cause your leg will be broken. Mo: Argh!

sstackho Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Nice! I'd also love to hear the conversation with the team about taking the same free kick, over and over again. And also the conversation with Stamatopolous about his ball distribution, but I have a feeling it would be identical to Braz's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
