So after playing Aussie Rules all my life I'll suit up for my first game of competitive soccer/football tomorrow. To say I'm keen is an understatement but the problem is that since yesterday and particularly today I've developed some sort of virus or the flu. Hopefully I feel a lot better tomorrow than I do tomorrow.
Anyway, any tips or advice?
Good luck mate, I haven't played outdoor since high school (though I was a long-term futsal player, played that until I was 24 then the injuries came)
I reckon just do what the coach/captain wants you to do, all I did was do what my captain wanted me to do and held my position, I normally played CB/RB, occasionally went up front as a target man when we were struggling.
I think once you know your teammates strengths and weaknesses and start to feel comfortable in the team you'll be ok
What position are you playing/have been groomed to play? Edit CM/CDM
Yeah don't give the ball away I think is the number 1 thing playing in CM, hold your position and make sure you're in good positions to be able to receive the ball is next priority
