Most coaches will have a "designated PK taker + an alternative" well planned ahead. This should be additionally true for a tournament, whence a PK contest may decide the outcome of the match. Has anyone asked Nowak of that? Oh, wait ... soccer journalism in the US. Say no more.
Charlie finally back in Hammarby and will probably play from start in the last pre season match tonight against TPS Åbo (from Finland). If he performes well tonight he has good chances to play from start when Allsvenskan starts next weekend. In worst case scenario, CD will start from the bench next weekend and either Sebastian Castro-Tello or Freddy Söderberg will have a golden opportunity to play themselves in to the starting lineup and leaving CD on the bench. So I will say that tonights game is very important for CD, for being a preseason match. Match starts in 7.5 hours (18.30 Swedish time)
Hammarby lost with 1-2 and were pretty lousy overall. 2 or 3 players was not shi.t.t.y tonight and one of them was Charlie. As normal, for him, he does everything right but does not score... Is he going to play from start when Allsvenskan starts this weekend? I would say...hmmm yeah. Maybe he took the last opportunity he had, not more, not less.
