Injuries are part of the game

But not much fun

Injuries are never much
fun in soccer, but just like
the ball, they are part of the
game.

Kegrettably,I know what
I'm talking about as I sit here
with a pair of fractured
ribs which will keep me on
the coaches bench for at
least a couple of weeks.

It’s most frustrating for
me, especially with the end
of season just around the
corner and the playoffs
ready to begin.

However, crying about it
won't help anyone. That's
why Johnny Giles and I tried
to recruit players who would
have to spend some time on
the bench even though they
were capable of playing first
team almost anywhere else.

Over a long, tough season
you have to accept the fact
that there will be injuries to
many of the players. In fact,
its extremely difficult for any
player to niake it through a
complete season today
without some kind of injury

complete professional,
George can analyze an
injury and devise a recovery
plan which will have the
player back on the field in a
relatively short time.

Besides, he works the
injured players so hard, that
they are ready to get back
into action just for a rest
from his ‘cures’. >

Seriously though, a pro
athlete is paid to play and he
has to be put right as. soon as
possible and George is an
expert in seeing to that.

One of the more difficult

sides of the NASL is the
heavy travel schedule.
While not making any

excuses for some of our past
games, tt must be remem-
bered that we were criss-
crossing the continent for
nine .of our last 12 games.
And near the end of a
season, that kind of travel is
uring and takes a lot out of a
team.

We were on the road so

our last home encounter
before we took on Dallas.
Somehow, the league

. Must try and balance out the

travel arrangements so there
are no big gaps between
home games.

The long road trips make
it difficult for the fans to

maintain their interest and

keep up with the team.

The game this coming
Wednesday against Seattle
should be a_ good one.
Sounders play a_ similar
attacking style to us and we
know that unlike Dallas and
many other teams, they
won't come to play defense.

This match could be one
of the biggest of the season
and in one sense could be
setting up for the upcoming
playoffs.

While I'll be sidelined, T'll
be getting ready to fight for
my spot hopefully within a
couple of weeks.

See you at the game.
