The King’s School coach Christian Roldan speaking about the performance of the team said, “As in previous matches, we put the scoreboard to one side and tried to analyse the lessons learned and points for improvement. I think that in this championship the team has grown at a competitive level, we have been able to fight in every game. There are many aspects of our game that have not shone and that this championship will undoubtedly allow us to improve. We feel fortunate to be able to experience such a great opportunity”.
Asked what next for the team, Roldan said that if the team maintains a continuous line of work, the team will continue to grow. The great challenge as a school is to convince players and families that only by maintaining commitment and continuous work, can football be developed and they would be able to face greater challenges.
