Practice today was supposed to be tactics and then a light scrimmage. We started with basic drills of passing and running in a triangle. Took me a while just to lay down the cones since we had so many people to practice (Julia and MartaMessi were extras there today). We did that for long, around 10-15 minutes.

Then we practice A LOT corner kicks. After all, we scored two goals against SMIC through corner kicks. We had to practice 5 from each side with Kyra and 5 with Inês. After that, time for a scrimmage.

Then, things started getting wrong. I’ve noticed my already pale Swedish Black Spider even paler. Worst, she was not shouting. Bella not shouting, something is wrong. I’ve asked if it was all ok, she said she was feeling dizzy and wanted to throw up. I told her to step out of the field and rest a little. She almost fainted on the grass behind the goal. I decided to move her to the nurse, where she could stay laying down more comfortably.

Practice followed up. Marta, playing for the red team, was driving the defenders crazy, specially Phoebe but she was not scoring so Phoebe was actually doing her job right. It was definitely a productive practice. It was great to see our Happy Viking playing well as a center midfield. At the same time the dynamic between Inês and Franziska is getting better and better.

After practice, the extremely kind and polite Bonhommes gave me and Bella a ride, so I could help her to get home. I am glad to know that Bella is feeling much better and maybe she can return to practice on Friday.
