L-INTERVISTA

Rokna regolari li ser jibda jkollna f' dan il-blog hija l-Intervista, fejn ser nibdew naghmlu features fuq membri tat-tim, kif ukoll personaggi ohra relatati mal-loghba tal-futsal. Lejlet l-ewwel loghba ma' setax jonqos li l-intervista ssir mal-kowc ta' AC Trampi; Adrian Zahra.

Mela Adrian, nhar il-gimgha ser nibdew bl-ewwel loghba tas-season, x' inti tistenna minn din il-loghba ?

Għall-ewwel logħba qed nistenna prestazzjoni tajba fejn nispera li anke jiġi r-riżultat. Issa ilna aktar minn xahar nittrenjaw tajjeb u dan jsarraf f'logħba tajba.

U rigward dan is-season kif qieghed thares lejh ?

B'mod pożittiv. Qegħdin 16-il plejer u kullħadd f'dan iż-żmien ta' training ta' dak kollu li jista'. Jekk nibqgħu kalmi u nieħdu pjaċir nilgħabu għandna mmorru tajjeb.

Skond hafna, din is-sena trampi ghandhom wiehed mill-ahjar timijiet tal-ahhar seasons. Taqbel ?

Hekk jinħass u hekk inħoss. Bl-inseriment ta' Patrick u Mark u żewġ goalers tajbin il-livell tjieb. Kif ukoll il-Pace beda magħna mill-bidu tas-season u l-plejers tjiebu ħafna f'dawn l-aħħar snin.

Ghalik il-fatt li ghandek hafna players jikkompetu ghal hames postijiet biss hija problema jew vantagg ? Kif thares lejha din ir-responsabilta?

Hu vantaġġ għax kull logħba nistgħu nirrispondu tajjeb għat-team ta' kontrina bil-plejers tagħna. Kif ukoll b'għażla daqshekk ta' plejers m'għandna qatt inkunu għajjenin fil-grawnd. Żvantaġġ għax niddejjaq nara plejers li mhux jilgħabu daqskemm jixtiequ. Responsabilità hi challenge.

Adrian , spjegalna naqra ghal min ma jafx kif spiccajt coach ta' Trampi?

Fl-ewwel sena ta' Trampi kellna lil mitico Tobion bħala coach u s-sena ta wara lil Tanti u Kerr Cumbo. Fit-tielet sena kienet diffiċli li nsibu coach. Jien kont offrejt li mmexxi t-tim u t-tim kien jidher kuntent bl-offerta. Din is-sena wara kjarimenti mat-tim erġajt qiegħed hawn.

Zgur li mhux posizzjoni facli tieghek ? xi idejqek fil-fatt li inti l-Coach !

Hi pożiżjoni li kullħadd igerger miegħek għax aħjar hekk u mhux hekk. Imma b'xi mod niftiehmu. L-aktar ħaga li ddejjaqni hi li fil-grawd jistgħu jilgħabu biss 4 plejers u goaler għal erbgħin minuta biss u din ma tħallikx tilgħab lil kullħadd sew.

Nghaddu naqra ha nitkellmu ftit iktar fuq football ? Ghal min ma jafx lil Adrian bhala coach, x' inhuma dawk il-kwalitajiet li jfittex fil-players tieghu ?

Plejers kalmi, plejers li jmexxu l-ballun u ma jgħaqduhiex, plejers umli u jirrikonoxxu li kullħadd hu l-istess, plejers li huma hardworkers biex jirbħu, plejers li lesti jiddeffendu u jattakkaw il-ħin kollu.

Xi stil ta' loghob tixtieq li t-tim ikollu ? Please, tghidilnix li l-players ikunu vicin !!

Li jkunu close to each other. Tajjeb hekk? Nemmen ħafna li t-tim għandu jilgħab viċin ta' xulxin ħalli tkun aktar faċli li jitqassam il-ballun u b'hekk najjew inqas u jkun hemm inqas ċans li nitilfu l-ballun. Li kullħadd jilgħab imferrex mal-grawnd nemmen li tkun aktar faċli biex it-tim ta' kontrina jeħdilna l-ballun. Ma narahomx joddu għal FUTSAL anke l-blalen twal għax dak ifisser rigal għall-opponent.

Kemm ilek trampi liema kienu l-isbah mumenti tieghek, kemm meta kont player, kif ukoll meta kont coach ?

Bħala plejer zgurissmu l-ewwel sena, meta rbaħna l-league biss wara sena mill-fondazjoni ta' Trampi. B ħala coach naħseb ma kienx hemm xi moment partikolari imma li fis-sentejn ta' coaching irnexxielna niġu t-tielet u anke kellna ċans li nerġgħu nirritornaw fis-Second. Kien hemm timijiet aħjar minnha f'dawn is-sentejn u dejjem tajnihom logħba sewwa. Naħseb li huma momenti sbieħ dawn.

Kieku jkollok l-opportunita li taghzel player wiehed famuz biex jinqghaqad ma trampi, min ikun ? Nafu li zzomm mal-milan jigifieri players tal-milan ma jghoddux.

De Rossi la ma nistax nagħżel lil GATTUSO. Żewġ plejers ta' grinta tajbin għal FUTSAL.

Hemm xi coach li tammira ? il-Varji Ancelotti, Capello, Sacchi u Zaccheroni ma jghoddux minhabba r-ragunijiet msemmija qabel.

Allavolja ma tantx huma simpatiċi l-Manchester, Ferguson hu ċertament coach li d'dawn is-snin kollha li ilu ma Manchester dejjem irnexxielu jmur tajjeb. Biex inkompli mmur kontra qalbi Mancini li irnexxielu jżomm postu mal-Inter u dan diġa hu ħafna ma Moratti u li irnexxielu jġib it-tim f'postu għall-ewwel darba wara ħafna snin.

Fl-ahhar hemm xi messagg li tixtieq tghaddi lit-tim qabel l-ewwel loghba tal-league ??

Ejjew ħa nieħdu pjaċir nilgħabu u b'hekk nirbħu. Ejjew kalmi għax kull darba li konna kalmi irbaħna. Attenti għat-throw ins għax ir-referees jsaffruhom il-ħin kollu dawn. Oqgħodu viċin xulxin ħalli ma tajjewx. Agħtu dak kollu li tistgħu fil-grawnd u x'ħin tajjew għidu. Fl-aħħar Forza Trampi u ejjew ħa nieħdu gost.

REMINDER: match next Friday

RIVER PLATE vs AC TRAMPI - FRIDAY 2nd NOVEMBER

This Friday 2nd November at 9.15pm, AC Trampi will be starting their 2007-2008 campaign with their first match against River Plate being played at Paola at the Ghajn Dwieli pitches. AC Trampi will be going in this match well prepared thanks to the fitness training "regime" (mind you, it was really a regime !! and patrick our dictator, hehe joking Patrick) prepared by one of our new additions for this season, Patrick Bonnici. Doubtful for this match will be Trampi's Steve Pace, who has been recovering from a torn hamstring, more info regarding Pace's fitness will be available in the following days.

For this match, coach Adrian Zahra will be spoilt for choice as this year AC Trampi's squad is stronger than ever. Morale is high and the team is confident that this year it can mount a series challenge for promotion. Most probably the match against River Plate will see Mark Spiteri, Patrick Bonnici, Steven Xuereb and Wayne Dimech making their debut with the Trampi shirt.

So Friday evening go at Ghajn Dwieli to show your support to our team's cause.

"Charismatic" training session

The session was held at the lower pitch at SPMC since the basketball area and the big pitch were being used as parking since a major Charismatic Group activity was being held at the theatre!
Patrick, his brother James, Adrian, Brian, Mark and Pawlu turned up and even though the limited number, we managed to go through the usual session on training with stretching etc and also set up a 3 vs 3 match emphasising on speed an precision shooting.
Brian and Adrian left early so the rest played a 2 vs 2 session till around 16:00 hrs.

See you all next Tuesday at Hamrun!

Training Session

Following an intensive session last Wednesday 24 October 2007 at San Gwann training grounds, the team will be meeting at Rabat for one of the last preparation sessions before the actual season kicks off.
