Every Player Gets His Chance - Every Player Contributes

Gents,

much better performance against Bankstown. It was a team effort and in the end, the margin should have been greater.

Let's not get too carried away, as I think that is one good result after a very bad one.

I spoke to all of you about how as a group of players I once coached. I hope that you now understand that each of you have a role to play in a season. I told you of my experience in seeing a group that became a team. They picked up two runner up and two champion's medals after deciding collectivelly to train hard and be open and honest in their efforts. Not one player let the others down. They stuck together and pushed each other toward success.

This is what I envisiage for us.

On a similar note, here is an example of a player who sat and waited for his opportunity....
He was on the bench for 25 games in a row and finally this weekend had his debut. It was against Bayern Munich and he contributed to the victory. It was a victory that will now win them the championship and you can see how everyone recognised that by hugging the player at the end of the match. The player is the Australian goalkeeper Mitch Langerak.

Please pay attention to:

1. The final pass for the first Borrusia goal, perfect forward angle
2. How the nplayers break forward at pace and the balls is PASSED out quickly
3. The quality of the header for Borrusia's third (Mitch, Jason, Joshua, Phil)
4. Every player congratulating a "bench warmer" who has contributed toward a vital win. Every result counts and every effort should be recognised

We have a couple of tough weeks coming up. Let's do our honest best.
