Manchester United 3 v 1 Inter Milan
The Inter Milan team showed a bit of rustiness against a well-organised and well coached Manchester United 7th Grade Development squad. Three goals in the first half really affected got the girl’s morale and it took until the latter part of the first half to get our heads up.
The boys were able to shoot strongly from quite some distance out from the goal – a feature we were ready for.Their three goals in the first half (0-3) were a blow but we pulled things together and got a slightly stronger defensive combination in the second half and won the second half 1-0.
13B 9.15am Juventus (Team Glory) v Tottenham
Juventus 4 - 1 Tottenham
Juventus were just too strong for this Gold Boys team, from the start the girls dominated possession and territory, however were slow to start the scoring.
Emily scored in the first half, Kate and Emma scored in the 2nd, with Emma getting 2.
There were a few misses opportunities, so there is definitely a need to improve shooting ability, however there was some great passing, dribbling and team work.
I switched 4 subs for the 2nd half, so to be fair Juventus did have the added advantage of fresh legs, this could prove useful, particularly in the Platinum grade games.
Player of the day was close, with both Kate and Claudia playing well for the full game, Claudia received it based some fantastic individual skills with the ball, as well as passing.
