Veronica MVP
Most Valuable Player was Veronica Garcia Da Vila. She started the game as a right back and got the task to mark one of Son Sardinas best players. Against the end of the game she moved into the center midfield to get more balance in the team. Something that worked very excelent.
Last weekend Veronica played two region team games. On Wednesday she played 90 minutes in our 4-1-win against Algaida, while she also got 90 minutes today. The fact that she keeps her standard at a very high level after playing four games in one week is just incredible.
– Veronica was our best player although this was primarily a team victory. She was a very important piece in a tactical and brilliant victory. From her back-position she marked out Son Sardinas star player in the first half, and in the second half she changed the match picture from her midfield position, head coach Leif Tsolis says.
