Well, friendlies are finally back underway, and it feels like things are starting to ramp up for Kaspars Kalinins’ sophomore season. Some things have changed for Rova, as some players are making their way up to the Liffeyside squad, some new blood enters the fray, and of course the S23 Class is advancing into some pretty decent TPE ranges. I’ve finally moving past this round of physicals and menatls, and building up my ability to shoot from distance. Our tactical system has me sitting on the outside of the box a lot, so being able to rip some shots in from along the edge there should give the Rova squad an... edge on the scoresheet. It is also certainly nice to be involved in the offense a bit more, as much as I always intended to be a defensive wizard, it can be tough when the only evidence you see of your player defending being the chances against. That midfield play, those breakups before the shot, where a lot of the possession is won and lost, are never seen. So I’m lined up to play a much more important role, and we’ve got a lot of young talent up the middle that is certainly excited to get underway and build our chemistry together for the long haul!
