the quote:
"You beat a team 6-0, 7-0, you don't, as a coach, analyze that game. You certainly don't as a player analyze that game," said Ellis, whose team won five games by at least five goals last year. "You go into a game that's a hard-fought battle, that's a game where the microscope comes down. Ultimately you learn more about your team when you go against a really strong opponent."
this comment seems odd to me for a few reasons. - i get it, its hard to over evaluate a big win against a crap team and you typically don't put much stock in the result, but she doesn't analyze that game??
But, as a team you have to develop an identify and style of play. thats why you analyze that game, if you are a possession team and you can't posses the ball against a sorry team in a 5-0/6-0 game, than something is wrong with your strategy, training, and or personal.
I wouldn't ignore the game that's for sure.
if your team in those games isn't playing "quality" soccer, you have to figure out why. and then if you style does not work against this sorry team, how the heck is it going to work against the top countries in the world.
Lastly, than why the heck are you playing these sorry teams in the first place, over and over again...........
maybe i'm just being picky with one little quote in the news, but i know for a fact some local coaches in the ATL could to a much better job with this team than her.
