The so-called big team domination ends

Dear editor,

I am writing again to confirm that the so called big teams can no longer rely on history. All the way from Italy, France and German to Morocco, Angola and Cameroon, history has failed to repeat itself. All these ‘former’ big soccer teams were recently humiliated by the so called underdogs.

Rwandans were filled with anxiety mixed with fear before our team started battling Morocco, but when the first and the second goals were scored against the visiting team, trust and confidence were built among the players and the fans.

The Moroccans of course turned desperate and started running into Amavubi goal posts to trace some Jujus or charms. Shame, I did know that even people wearing that colour believed so!

They could not believe their eyes! They were being humiliated and all their efforts to revive were futile, save for the single goal they got on a free kick.

It is from this free kick that I would like to advice the impressive coach of Amavubi Blanko, to increase his training on techniques.

He is a man who has proved to be very good in terms of giving appropriate techniques. The fact that his players have managed to master the formation of 4-5-1 is enough evidence that he is a good coach.

Our team has always been strong but lacked the capacity to adopt and adapt techniques at any given time to fit in any given situation.

However, Blanko still has a lot to do in giving the players techniques to block and score free kicks and have an efficient man to man marking.

Remember we shall be visiting the same team this week-end. Otherwise I share with him the idea that the best way to defend is to attack.
