Soccer at SV Burgweinting

For the last couple of weeks, I've been playing with the A team of the local soccer club here, SV Burgweinting. Some players are 2 years older than me! At first, I couldn't play as well as them because my new cleats were bugging me and I was a bit jet lagged, but now I am playing pretty well with them. Their game is a beautiful one with one-touch passes most of the time. I played a defensive midfield position yesterday and got the ball a lot. Because the other players are faster and more skilled than me, I need to play the ball very quickly to avoid losing it. Their game is also very physical and I got slide-tackled a couple times. Once I almost fell into the goal post! All in all, a very fun experience to play with these guys. I think I'll be a much better player when I come back from Germany.

  1. The best way to improve your game is to play with and against better players than yourself. Hopefully, they will have a friendly match before you go and you will get to play in a game :)

  3. Practicing is just fine and great fun, but the games are the game. I don't know if they will have a friendly game.
