Greenfield Royal Oak F.C.


Too simple for words

As you all now see I try to use this site for motivation and team building and normally there is a quote at the top,

This quote sums up how football should be played its simple

Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.
Bill Shankly



Confidence

If you don’t have confidence, you’ll always find a way not to win.”

 - Carl Lewis

I was looking for an inspirational quote and when I found this one it hit home to me that I always have confidence in what I do or try to do,

 I always believe that I will succeed and that is how I saw Greenfield as a team last season

I was confident that we would get promoted and have a  succesful season,

 Every week I had confidence that you would play well and give your all and once you all started to believe in your self we had a great run untill end of the season.

 This season we must do it week in and week out, every week we will be the team to beat, we are the side that every one gets the most pleasure in beating,

When you play for Greenfield you have to live with this and be up for the challenge.

 Each week we cannot relax or take it easy we must get promote this season there is not a second option !!!

You all raised the bar last season so there will no longer be excuses all you need is the confidence in yourself that I have in you.

Game Plan

In our second training session this Sunday I will be getting activity involved.

There is still some work on fitness levels, which is understandable, but this season we will start on the tactics we will be using for the coming season.

We may change formations from time to time but I plan to use the same tactics week in and week out.

By the time our last friendly has finished we will be ready for the new season.

I plan to have us all-knowing and playing what will be expected in every game.

We are now ready to move forward.

At the top of the site I have put a Target for our Goal Difference this season in the league I expect to end the season on a minimum of +60 to achieve this it will be a team effort.

Just remember for every goal we score will give us plus 1

For every goal we concede will take 1 off

Only as a team will you reach my target

I don’t want to walk off the park winning 6-4

The 6 goals we have scored will only mean we have added 2

You never let me down when I set targets and I promise you all I wont let you down

Robert Green

I was going to have a break from the site but after the goal Robert Green let in against the U.S.A.

I had to mention his attitude on mental strength we have worked hard all season on this area and now you can all see the importance of bringing this into your game.

Mistakes will be made he is not the first and will not be the last but how he handles the situation will determine how good a sports man he is.

This was just another part of bringing the professional side into you game.

There is more to football than tactics there is also mental strength

England goalkeeper Robert Green believes he has the mental strength to respond from his howler which gifted the United States an equaliser in the 1-1 Group C opener in Rustenburg.

 

I didn’t let it affect my performance. It’s about mental strength and worse things have happened to people.

” But I’ll come back, work hard in training, work hard the next day, prepare the same, prepare as if I’m playing in the next game and it won’t affect me

“It’s not how good you are when things go well,Its how you react when thins go wrong” !
