TFB 2010-2013 INTER SQUAD

Back in match action for this mixed age group. It was good to see the competitive edge within the groups again. It has been very promising to see the adaptation between the groups and the relationships that are developing well on and off the field.

The first half was at a high standard, showing good energy to win the ball back and moving the ball quickly to create chances to score. It was a really close, competitive game and it was a joy to watch. Due to the heat and lack of subs, we made sure that regular water breaks were included in the game.

In the second half, the heat and lack of subs started to show; the energy levels dropped, and the quality in play decreased. There were still moments of quality during the game and in the final third both teams moved the ball well, forcing the keepers into action, and they both stepped up to the task.

In general, it was good to get minutes into the legs of the players. Some good performances on show but work still to be done to reach their full potential.

TFB 2017/2018 v FC Liverpool
The game was played at a high intensity from both teams from the first minute to the last. We played a physical team who didn’t allow us any time on the ball and, in the early stages, it worked in their favour. We adapted well and matched them with the physicality and started to take control within the game. Iacob was very strong up front and was causing problems for their defenders and managed to get himself 3 goals, which was impressive.

Mateo made his debut in goal for the club and pulled off some fantastic saves and will be a valuable addition to this group. Noah came off the bench and matched the intensity of the game straight away and worked really hard with and without the ball. Matty D played as a defender and put in some great challenges and made a key block late in the game.

Stefan was a warrior all game, getting stuck in to win the ball back and his energy levels didn’t drop throughout the game. Mihai worked well to win the ball back and almost unlocked the defence with his dribbling ability. Achim was very calm and worked really hard with well-timed tackles in a busy game of football. Matei V showed good work rate to win the ball back and tried to play the ball forward every time he could.

It was a tough but entertaining game. This type of opposition is very beneficial for this group of players. They showed grit and determination throughout the game and it was an enjoyable match with the intensity on show.

TFB 2017/18 v FC Dimieni

The team played fantastically during this match. There was calm passing and playing out from the back, which allowed us to drag their players around the pitch to create gaps to attack. From the starting positions, we had Matei V in goal, then Eric, Iacob, Noah and Ioachim. They worked really well and created plenty of shots in the first half, scoring some brilliantly taken goals. 

Matty, Achim and Stefan were introduced to the game, and they matched the intensity straight away. The passing brilliance continued, and it led to more opportunities during the second half. The team was also very impressive in defence and kept a clean sheet. The work rate up and down the pitch was excellent to see. We were also able to work on our passing and moving and keeping our shape in and out of possession.

The progress of these players is so satisfying to watch.  The team unit is really coming together, and we are excited for the future.
