Subject: [u21] Germanek

Kerský was like -4 in speed vs their wing and Omáčka "score" own goal. It was rly bad day for our WBs.

Unfortunately I didn't have better defenders. It was my weakest formation during the tournament, where I didn't have possibility to change something. I tried to used always the players with the highest speed to have possibility to block strikers other teams. But as you know season is shorter so the players will have lower skills...

Kersey has speed on 13 level our the best defender has 14. Today I played the players who had speed 13, 14, 9, 14. In the middle of defenders I put the players with the highest def.

I also watched the match. Nice game, very brave against such an opponent. But as you write, we would deserve a draw, maybe even a win. Practically one own goal, tribute to bad luck and one stick! It would probably like to work on the ending, we had a lot of chances.

From my point of view, I would like to see you in the national team.

Thank you very much for your positive opinion. I wanted to play open game against Brasil. We had situations and I think in the first half of match we were even better, but it is sokker maybe next time we will achieve better result. I need to focus and select u20 and u19 players because they will be important during WCQ and WC. So we need to train them :-)

In a word, bad luck.
However, their equalizing goal came a few seconds before the end + our stick + an own goal, having the kind of handle that Brazil had, I would have won even with a below average team! Maybe luck will turn to our side next time.

I think you deserve another chance ;)

Thanks for support :)

We will have very stong group, Eesti has very strong u20 team and Portugal won MM, so I don't know if we will achieve first palce at the group to have possibility to play in the cup phase for places 1-8, because according to rules we can play only u20 players :)

Today we played first match of u20 against Germany. It wasn't good match I used tactic which I also played against Brasil and instead of defmid I used nominal def. I think that this tactic has potential but I need improve something, for sure our strikers needed nominal playmaker who could give ball to them. I don't have a lot of time to do it because next week we start Druid's Cup where I would like to achieve something :-) but we will see what happened.

I have forgotten to let you know that we won 1-0 :-)

I was watching. Nice football in the end we were better. Once again, it turns out that we have better physicality and we beat our opponents only in the second half.
Congratulations on an important victory

Thanks for your opinion. I hope that our u20 team will show nice football during next WCQ, but I need to focus on generation u19 because these players will play during WC where I hope we will play, but if we will get group with 5 teams then will be difficult to achieve good result...

We have started Druid's Cup, you will find all information if you will click link

We played against Latvija and in the first part of half if match I couldn't watch it. The ball was still outside of field where played both team. In the second half I changed our strikers and our team showed that they know how to score goals. We won 4-0 but the next matches will be very difficult because we will play against Portugal which won MM Cup this season and they today almost won against Eesti. Druid's Cup is very difficult tournament because the teams which have lower ranking can use also u21 and we can use only u20, but I will try to fight :-)
(edited)

great start, keep going and believe in yourself more. To reveal the potential that is hidden in that team.

Thanks I will try to achive the best what I can :-)
