Norman brought up talking about the midfielders but the truth was that there wasn't really anything to talk about there.
His most viable midfield trio was Ferran, Minino, and Martinez but sotis replacing Martinez with Frankie seed to produce better results.
In ranking, these four were the best midfielders in the team, but that didn't an that they were the only good midfielders in the team.
Edward and Harry had been getting very little playti since Martinez joined the team and Norman switched up his midfield to include a defensive midfielder, a very smart decision by him.
That said, Edward and Harry were always on standby to join the ga whenever they were needed.
Having six good midfielders in the squad ant that rotating his midfield wasn't sothing difficult although giving Edward or Harry playti ant that he had to compromise defensively or offensively because those two were natural central midfielders, there was nothing more and nothing less to that.
Progressing play from the midfield with their passes was their niche but when it ca to joining the attack or helping out defensively, they couldn't do much compared to the other four.
Still, this wasn't a problem Norman had to dwell on for too long because their next opponents weren't that tough, all he needed was a goal or two to win the ga and continue his reign at the top of the table.
After discussing that and other topics related to the squad and upcoming matches for a while, Norman decided to put so of the things they talked about to the test.
It was a practice match and this ti there was going to be a team of seven players on both sides.
The goalkeepers obviously filled in the first spot, and for the remaining six spots, he assigned four defenders.
One of the main goals for this drill was to see how Frankie perford as a left back so playing with four players at the back was necessary.
However, this ant that there weren't enough players for both the midfield and attack but Norman had everything sorted out.
He made sure both sides had a forward and a midfielder up front to deal with both the midfield and attacking duties. But still, it wasn't like they were going to be the ones doing all the work, the defense were going to give them a hand, especially the left backs.
Now that all that was settled, it was ti to go through the selection process.
Since the goalkeepers were the permanent mbers of both sides, Norman made them be the ones to choose their teammates to fit the assigned positions for the practice match.
Being the senior goalkeeper, Dave was the first one to pick a teammate, and not wanting to waste this opportunity, the goalkeeper picked Mateo to be his forward.
"Yeah, it was obvious he was going to pick him," Minino comnted before inflating both of his cheeks.
Alexander also didn't want to miss out on that front, since Mateo was already taken, he ended up picking rino, the forward who was right behind Mateo when it ca to pure football abilities.
However, this was a dumb move from the young goalkeeper, let Catherine explain.
