Ragtag Rebels - De Witte Burgh

5-3. We just did our home works.

It was in principle a simple game. We started well and controlled the game for quite some time. We didn’t suffer much in defense. So all in all and then goals were came naturally. Well done pressing, etc. Very nice, we reached the break 4-0. Then a bit of relax, misunderstanding in defense and 4-1. Luckily soon we made the 5-1 but then we just stopped playing. No pressure, no offering, no moves, nothing. Digo even said he had the feeling that everybody wanted to score, could be, I don’t know. Anyhow the fact is that we had a serious problem of concentration and then they took control and scored twice in 3 minutes. Then we kind of woke up and cold down the game a little bit. Not so many chances anymore for any of us and final score 5-3.

In total the result was ok, but it really worries me the fact that we easily lose control of a very positive situation. This is not the first time it happens, see 2 games ago against High Tech Campus, also winning and losing control. Luckily today we had a very nice margin and their attack was not that powerful but one day we could pay for our relax time.

THEM: De witte burgh is a nice team, balanced with young and experience players. However they have problems when we press them. When they do counter attacks (at least today) normally it is only the guy with the ball attacking not followed by anyone else of his team so it is easier to stop. They attack also with the keeper but they don’t move enough to take advantage of that.

US: Nice first half, horrible lost of concentration and aggressiveness. Luckily we came back on time but this is not the first time it happens. We should definitely keep an eye on this.

Note: After today’s victory only 2 teams have mathematical chances to win the league: Hunter Boys and us. Mikkers and Waar GP cannot make it anymore. Carpe Diem is coming back but they wont be able to make in time.
