Subject: WCQ U21 qualification - Slovensko

This is the group at the moment:

1. Slovensko U21 4 3 0 1 18-4 9
2. Bulgaria U21 4 3 0 1 9-2 9
3. Indonesia U21 4 2 1 1 7-6 7

5. Jamaica U21 4 1 0 3 4-12 3
6. Ísland U21 4 0 0 4 2-16 0

Our way not is bad, but a good result today can change our possibilities in qualification.
Honestly I say that is very difficult, their players are very strong and our strikers not are in form, but we hope, of course.

Numbers say that we scores rarely, but our defenders not is bad (in my opionion is very bad, but middlefielders help in right way).
If I have torregiani and Galdes in high form I can hope in a surprise today, but not is so!

We try to play our game, we exit from match at high head, Malta can play good game.

I come here after the match!

Torque in my opinion today you can play with one striker..Torreggiani..For this match in my opinion the best way is increase the pressure in midfield with good Defensive Midfielders, I know we have good midfielders with high defence..

Last season I played Slovensko..we won 2-0 ..I used the Elastico tactic..named Malaysia..I dont know if theres still time to modify it and try something with it, maybe we'll get a respectable result..

But I leave it up to you..You're the coach..I can only suggest...

Some analysis after watching the last 2 matches of Slovensko

Coach always plays with 4 Defenders in a straight line...

Weak point in the Defence - Wings - Attack from the wings with crosses and Torreggiani from stationary will find it better to score easier..If you let him run with bad form he wont be as much effective than stationary.

(Punto Debole nella difesa - La fascia - La mia opinione e, attaccare le facsie coi lanci sulla testa per Torreggiani che e piu probabile che segni da fermo per colpa delle sua forma misera. Se Torreggiani dovesse correre col pallone e piu probabile di perderlo durante l azione.)

I think that we play a good game, with some luck we can have a good result.

Our goalkeeper save us many times but their scres on mistake of our defender, that cause poor playmaking lose ball in our area.
Torregiani in front of the opponent keeper, at minute 72 pass back and not shoot, incredible sokker!

I prepared good ooffensive movement and we have 2 or 3 occasions to score.

The key of the match was zalona, that stop always our Gulia, in the best mid of malta.
Good game for young zerafa that stop thei wing, a very strong wing.

I hope in a draw or win, but 1-0 is honest result, with our defenders not is simply to keep a few goals!

I agree that what we needed was a little bit of more luck and we could have got a point but they were a stronger opponent. Well done and good luck for the next matches.
