Wind took control

In a game where the wind is so strong and can decide the result, there is not much you can do in terms of tactics. At the same time it needs to be said that the opposition tried to use it in a much smarter way than we did, but failed to win due to our heroic defending (once again). On the other hand we failed to use the wind when we had it on our side on the first half, either due to some reckless passing or due to not applying much pressure on their defensive line under these conditions. On the positives, other than the excellent defensive behaviour, we also managed to have positive interactions and great team spirit throughout the game and this helped us greatly to defend effectively when we had the wind against us.
