Hooaja üldarutelu

[Nikki]

Kasemets võiks minna Keilasse Tassat asendama. Kui ta ei saa väljakule isegi olukorras, kus Dorbek on vigastatud ja Rosenthal on totaalselt vormist väljast, siis tal puudub igasugune perspektiiv kaalukates mängudes platsile pääseda. Täiesti arusaamatu, miks ta üldse värvati. Tema ja Tongue`i palgaraha eest oleks võinud pigem ühe puhta keskmängija palgata. Makke olukord on veelgi piinlikum.

Tuleb nõustuda. Ma lisaks siia nimekirja ka Miška - kui Reinbok ütles, et ta tahtis füüsiliselt tugeva meeskonna komplekteerida, siis arusaamatu kuidas Miška sinna valemisse mahtus.

Tongue’i on mul usku rohkem, aga ta ei tundu väga Reinboki lemmiklaps olevat.

Clearly he is not. Tongue is out there communicating. He is hyping up his teammates, he is showing the coach he is ready to go in and do what is asked - but he gets NO WIGGLE room for any error whatsoever. Meanwhile, here is the US we have been watching error after error with some of the veterans and we are sratching our heads.

Tongue on ok, aga tagaliin on ikka hädas mis hädas. Acuf on hit and miss, Rosenthal täitsa null, makke ei saa peale ja Kaukiainen ka kuidagi ameerika mägedel ning käsi täitsa kipsis. Visata kolmeseid sellise kaitse vastu esiti 7/5 ja siis kõik ülejäänud mööda, pole isegi sõnu. Vabavisked...60 protsenti. Kaitse teravate ameeriklaste lihtsalt ei toimi. No ma ei tea, midagi peab muutuma.

Umm yeah...usually...Americans who come to Europe need a couple of months to get used to things. After that, they start getting real chances, and we see how good they really are.

But with Kalev, it’s possible he might soon get to prove himself to the new coach. This year’s Kalev/Cramo team is very different from what we’re used to. Really different.

I hope your someone doesn’t lose hope. A lot of Americans have a tough start in Europe, but then opportunities open up and they build great careers.

That is hopeful news. We know Tongue will continue to put in the work. He is a grinder and he does not give up. He is one of the biggest TEAM players any team could have. He plays unselfishly and thats been his downfall. He needs to get more selfish - because his supporting network has come to realize he makes those around him better - at his own cost.

[Uhhuu]

Halb uudis Tongue`i ja tema lähedaste jaoks: „Kindlasti on soov leida Rutherfordile asendus selleks perioodiks, kui teda pole“.

Tongue`i jaoks tähendaks see tõenäoliselt jälle statisti rolli langemist. Iseasi, kas Reinbokil peaks üldse olema voli värbamisotsuseid langetada, kuivõrd tal ei pruugi Kalevi peatreenerina pikka pidu olla.
