ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT TEAM, SEASON:

We are a fast team. We are going to rely on speed. Moving the ball quickly, in transition will be key. We condition so hard, we are fit. Fitness, game speed, ball possession those will be our strengths. We’re not a tackling team. We rely on the other team making mistakes. We’re not an attacking team. That’s not good. We graduated three starting midfielders, so we have to sure up our midfielders.
