I see a great future.
I see our football make a couple of more adjustments and make it into the world top 10 - just like our volleyball did.
The current trend is going well......it just takes another decade or so until a couple of more pieces fall into place.
Watching our U17 play Germany solidified my belief........yet watching TM against Russia illustrated we are still several adjustments away.
What adjustments you ask?
1- Ball control.....we need to further cut down on long passes , especially from our defenders.....we have cut some but need to cut even more. Top Euro clubs spend hours daily playing "Khers Vasat" with five defenders/halfbacks plus the goalie, against 2 or 3 forwards....that will of-course improve ball control in own field.
2- Have forwards kick the ball into the goal from all around 18 with no door-khiz. They need to do this for hours every day.

This is indeed the most exciting period in our football in last 40 years beside some good moments between 96 to 98.
