You laugh but all our players knew it was coming and were ready!
ā¦ and the ball goes out of play.
Not laughing at Hendo!
Gerrard also used to do that a lot in such a situation. Hendo probably picked it from him.
That wouldnāt be a pass, would it!
Our ex-Croatian national team coach (Miroslav Ciro Blazevic, bronze medallist at WC98), during technical exercises with the ball, used to shout to his players to āget extremely intimate with the ball!ā.

Poor ball 
ā¦ and so a footballer should. Take a ball everywhere they go and even sleep with one. The greater the familiarity with balls the better. 
I dont know, if s.o. posted this already:
Bayer Leverkusen director Simon Rolfes pens a goodbye letter to Florian Wirtz, posted on Linkedin: āThank you, Flo, for your time under the cross and for being who you areā¦ You all will stay part of the Bayer 04 family.ā

Because he is probably one of the best young players in the world?

I hope so.
Iāll try and be patient. All the hype isnāt helping though. 
I have a feeling we might try the 442 narrow diamond 
formation. Not that I know anything but then who can say they know more without getting the goodies from Slot. Interesting 
.
I know - we signed him like a week ago and he hasnāt scored a single goal for us yet.
