Speaking to Kazakhstan team's coach during one of the matches Barcelona coach said that Kazakh players were hurrying to score a goal too much, whereas Spanish juniors hurried to keep the ball. Our players wished to distinguish themselves and this desire usually prevailed over the common sense. This was the individual tactics that needed improving,” the coach added. Almaty juniors (up to 14) took part in the Mediterranean International Cup for the first time. Kazakhstan team lost two matches out of three, however, our juniors gained a priceless experience according to the coaches.
