[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general, Arlington builds out of the back at the younger ages and just doesn't focus on finishing they way they need to. I'm not sure what PP means about "individualistic style" of soccer, because most of the Arlington teams work quite a bit on passing -- they just can score. [/quote] This is Alexandria too. It was Barca when my kids were there too. It's a big frustration for everyone that nobody can finish these days. It's funny---when I was a kid everyone wanted to be a goal-scoring striker. You had some amazing strikers with creativity and finishing ability. It is next to impossible to find a good "9" these days. I have a kid U18/19 MLSNext and if the one '9' is injured, nobody else can finish--but at least they have one 9. On my other kid's ECNL team, the forwards could not finish on a wide open goal. Beautiful building and zero finishing. Gone are beautiful long shots (which you still see in FIFA games). My older son was a goal scoring machine--total nose for the goal...which was pretty much beat out of him. Then it became so he would never take a gddamn shot. He'd always pass it---even when the shot was the correct thing for that moment/space, etc.[/quote] Happens when a coach wants to play the easy pass. Players have in mind the coach voice “easy pass easy pass” and miss shooting on time.[/quote]
