clean crucial due game meant nice save saved since tonight
I was due to save one (a penalty). Its been a while since I saved one. It was nice to save one tonight in a crucial game and it meant a lot - it was important to keep a clean sheet.
mistake thinking games
If you are thinking about mistakes during games then you are not concentrating on what is important which is the next shot or the next cross or whatever you have to deal with in that game. The mental side of things is massive, probably the biggest.
train-hard games play
You play all your life and train all your life and then you are not playing. It's not easy to deal with. But you can't roll up in a ball and hope it goes away. You have to take it on the chin and train hard and be prepared to play. We all know the game changes in an instant and anything can happen so you have to keep the hope that comes your way.
