The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out

Last Thursday our girls soccer team played at state! They played against the Rochester Lourdes! The Lourdes were a very skilled team! They ended up beating us two to 0! They played a very great game!! But there's one thing I'm very confused about. I was extremely confused about their formation at the beginning of the game! They had a 4-5-1! How are you supposed to create any offense with one offender?! And it was way to clustered in the middle with five midfielders!! It just doesn't make sense to me! I happened to talk with someone on the team and they said they had just learned three new formations that they were going to use in the game! Why would you teach them new formations when the formation you've been using has worked all year and brought you to state?! Another thing I'm confused is about is Sophie!! She is an amazing player and usually plays defense! They put her on offense the last couple minutes of the game! She did great! She had lots of scoring opportunities! And the defense was doing just fine without her! So why put her on offense the last couple minutes of the game?! His coaching strategies just don't make much sense to me!
