The USA team need to step up and be more aggressive to have any success….They can look at how South Korea and Italy plays to get an idea. South Korea does not allow the other team to settle down when they have possession of the ball. They challenge from every direction, especially from the blind side. Italy is similar; they pull everyone back behind the ball. Then they have their front line run very fast at the opponent with ball possession to force passing errors. Once they make this challenge, the Italian player returns to his position to do the same thing over and over until they win the ball. Then they attack fast and hard…
Playing this way, you will always be in the game, even if you have less skilled players!!!
