Tuesday was the first day of training, so in a way, the season’s started. Huzzah!
1) Vacations are over, players are back in town, and everyone’s getting themselves into shape. But more interesting than the fitness things are the tactical things. In those closed-door meetings where Gio Savarese tells the players his vision for 2019, what do you think he’s saying?
- “We’re gonna absorb and counter, just like last year?”
- “We gonna aim for 60% possession every game, let the other team chase the ball for 90 minutes?”
- “We’re gonna press like mofos, make every ball a 50/50 challenge?
