Who's surprised⁉️
After assisting on all three goals in @LongwoodMSOC’s 3-1 semifinal upset of No. 1 High Point, Brando Bedolla earns @TopDrawerSoccer National Player of the Week honors once again!
#BigSouthMSOC x @LongwoodLancers
The most in the NATION (by seven) and the most assists by a #BigSouthMSOC player since 1993 🤯
Take a bow, Brando!

If the two semester season gets approved. USL 2/NPSL will not be anywhere near as serious. D1 players will mostly avoid it.
I personally think athletes should take the summer off. Do internships, enjoy some down time and not have to play in the Summer Leagues.

Will Wade on his controversial roster-building 👀
"I'm not hiding from this. What we're doing is unconventional, I understand that. But 20 years ago, Airbnb was unconventional. 15 years ago, you rode in a taxi everywhere... Just because it's unconventional doesn't mean it's not gonna work"

On the match feed, at 0.46 you can hear Askou shouting ‘keep it here’ rather than switching. I call it a YoYo.
He’s also shouts a lot for the attackers to ‘keep moving’ and ‘come closer’ to support the ball carrier.
Lots of inside diagonals, pass and moves, clear intentions.
Toulouse’s asymmetrical 4222 under Jens Askou is fascinating setup
-free roaming midfield 4
-Creating 2v1 dynamics on the double-width side
-Wide overloads to attack diagonally inside in attacking third

Truth!!!
Lionel Scaloni: "We are losing the essence of football. Not only at a professional level, but also with kids."
"My children play in Spain and are overwhelmed with information. They receive the ball, and they're already being told what to do."
"There are fewer dribblers because if they barely get the ball and you say, 'Pass it!'... Imagine if Messi, when he was eight years old, had been constantly told by his coaches to "Pass it!" We wouldn't have him today."
"Football has become such a huge thing, everyone reads, studies, and thinks that with that, they can already manage."
"If you tell a 7 or 8-year-old to make a diagonal run, cover defensively... He's seven years old! Let him play with the ball, make mistakes, and when he's 14 or 15, then we can start correcting."
"It's a message for the future. This is a sport, and the beauty of football should not be lost."
