Definitely what Heraf wanted to do.
I disagree. I thought the girls played a really good high pressing game. Most of the shots we had were from turnover ball in there half of the field. We were well structured in defence but it wasn't a 10 players behind the ball mindset. We did lump the ball forward a fair bit, but you got to remember these girls are only 16 years old. And sending the ball forward regularly allowed us to deploy the high press without giving away possession needlessly in front of our own goal. Looked like there intention was to get the ball forward quick and be direct in attack.
