As part of a comparative training course, the Berlin U14 selection played two matches against the selection of the Hamburg Football Association. The focus of the matches at Volkspark Mariendorf was on intensive pressing and counter-pressing, the targeted recognition and use of deep options and the clear and consistent occupation of goal-scoring areas. The training course also offered the opportunity to further consolidate and refine the principles of large pitch play developed over the course of the season under competitive conditions.

U14 juniors with convincing performances in the comparison course
Cohesive team performance and clear game plan
The Berliners implemented the set priorities in both games with great clarity and maturity. The clear results of 10:0 and 7:0 underline the quality of the performances, but above all stand for a cohesive team performance, which was characterized by high intensity, clean sequences and a good understanding of the game. It was particularly pleasing to see that all the players used contributed to the overall picture with effective actions, even in different positional roles.
"Development as a continuous process"
Association sports coach Lukas Fechner drew a positive conclusion: "The two matches were a very valuable assessment of the current season. The players implemented a lot of content with clarity and intensity and also took on individual responsibility. At the same time, it shows that development is a continuous process. It will be crucial to transfer the experience gained into everyday training at the club in order to take the next steps consistently."
The comparative training course thus provided important impetus for further development and underlined the existing potential of the players. The Berlin squad included players from the clubs Lichtenrader BC, Hertha BSC, 1. FC Union Berlin, FSV Hansa 07, Rot-Weiß Viktoria Mitte, Rixdorfer SV, SC Borsigwalde and Köpenicker FC.
