Marcus: We are moving that direction

 

This week, Agape takes on TXF Young Flamingoes. It will be a battle between two young teams, for Agape, a young team in terms of when it was started, for Flamingoes, a young team in terms of age. Flamingoes, though having an average age of 13.4 years old, have shown their quality in the league by beating SIM Inferno and Valtina Warriors. They have also put up a fight against the other teams who may be much older than them. In every match that they have played, they have always scored.

‘I think it’s amazing to see a young team playing so well in the league. I firmly believe that in a few years time, with good coaching, these girls can improve and become much better players. At such a young age, it takes more than skill to win teams that are older than you are. Flamingoes has indeed shown me that it’s possible to win with a young team.’

‘This Sunday, we will play the game with much respect for Flamingoes, but we will still want to win the game. As the league is drawing to a close, the teams are also getting better and improving. As long as we stick to our gameplan and tactics, I believe that we are able to play our game.’

‘The match against Armadas last Sunday was a spectacular game for me. As a coach, I am proud of my players for showing their mental strength in overcoming an early deficit to win the game. I’m excited to see the way the girls are playing floorball. Passing, movement, teamwork, beautiful attacking floorball is what makes Agape different and I’m glad to see that we are moving that direction.’

‘I would credit this improvement to every single player in the team. It’s great to have players believing in the gameplan and trusting the coach, the team and each other. This upcoming game would be a test for us again, and I hope we will focus and pass this test with flying colours.’
