As the Scorpions hit the middle of the week, the team is looking forward to the upcoming season. The players are working hard to prepare for their first preseason match as well as getting to know each other better as teammates.

 

“We are doing well,” says Hans Denissen, Forward for the Scorpions, “Getting to know each other every day a bit more.”

In preparation for their upcoming match against the U.S. Under-23 Men’s National Team the Scorpions have been working hard to build cohesion.

“We’ve been running through many drills in practice,” Says Pablo Campos, also a Scorpions forward, “We’ve been doing touch and go work… [as well as] playing a lot of 11 vs 11.”

The Scorpions will play their first preseason match on Friday, February 24, 2012 in Frisco, Texas at the FC Dallas Stadium Complex at 7:30 pm against the U.S. Under-23 Men’s National Team after only having practiced a week.

“[It’s] too early to think about a game,” says Campos, “We just got back from vacation, [but] I am excited and flattered.  I expect [us] to do well; it’s a great opportunity to play against a National team.”

Hans Denissen agrees.

“It’s a very good game [coming up]…against the USA,” says Denissen, “For us, every game with that intensity is better than the amateur league, so that’s good stuff they did [setting the game up.]”
