MAFC Kites Vs Forza Elite Academy

2–1 Win

Good test today with plenty of adapting and growing as a team.

We started very slow. Second to everything, giving Forza too much space and time on the ball. They played two at the back, overloading midfield and attacking with two or three. They had pace in behind and capitalised on it early.

We countered by moving a couple of players’ positions, playing five across midfield out of possession (no forward), then pushing a midfielder forward when attacking. The attacking player rotated between the two attacking midfielders.

The understanding from the boys of this new formation was exceptional and couldn’t have worked any better. Super pleased with the outcome and how well they could adapt and adjust.

We seemed so much more confident and comfortable from then on. Dominated the game and secured the win!

Well done boys — enjoy your weekends and see you all Monday at training.

Cheers,
J
