[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has theire been any official pivot by the powers above to implement possession play?
We spent last 3 years in Germany and our 10 year old boy is a fish out of water still at the end of season in rec.
He is very technical and in practice they use him as the model/example for everything; but in the games no one actually passes like they practice or designed.
He loves soccer but does not understand to shoot and break out whenever possible.  He won’t stop passing and play our style and i am not sure if we need to drill it in his head to play the way the other boys play or if our sons style is right and his team is wrong.

Your son needs to adapt to American soccer, our style of play is not, and will not be European style anytime soon.  Not in your son's soccer lifetime anyway.  America is spending more money than ever on soccer and actually get worse at the top levels; it will be another decade or two as our Women's team gets eclipsed and maybe, just maybe people will notice we are playing pretty much a different sport, just happens to have the same rules.[/quote]
