Da Gama talks about his plans with the team!
The coach explained that the team was suffering from fluctuations in performance due to a lack of stability, both in terms of formation and tactics. He also pointed out that some of the players needed psychological support to boost their confidence and ability to achieve positive results.
Da Gama added that one of the biggest challenges was the lack of opportunities in front of goal, which led to the team missing out on valuable points in some matches. However, he emphasised that the coaching staff has worked hard to improve these aspects, through intensive training and a focus on developing team play.
Da Gama concluded his remarks by pointing out that Magsaysay still has a lot to offer this season, stressing that the team has the ambition and potential to compete strongly, provided they continue to improve and capitalise on past mistakes.
What exactly did Owen Da Gama say!
What was happening before I arrived was that this team was playing with a very low-block, So, when I arrived, even during a few games I was here, it was a team that conceded the most from outside the box. That was expensive defending because that slight defection or little gap is a goal, We started working on them and started getting more to a mid-block, and I think that has helped a lot. Now, there are spaces where the players can cover for each other.
