May 02 - GFA Announces Newest Player
This morning’s GFA press conference proved a disappointment for Team manager Allen Bula, with only two journalists covering the announcement on a number of issues with current facilities and new team players including Jake Gosling of Exeter City, the 20 year old winger, who’s father was born in Gibraltar. Mr. Bula said he, ‘was not happy with players taking their foot off the gas in matches they were winning in the local league'. He wanted them to show more desire to push for bigger wins throughout the match rather than “walking through the last few minutes of the game”.
Another point he raised was the absence of local facilities for the sport. Allen Bula stated “Gibraltar has a lack of facilities and the players can’t train that much.” He went on to say it’s damaging to players legs and muscles to run on concrete.
The players’ lifestyles were also on the agenda this morning when the Gibraltar manager said “Professionals who get paid don’t eat takeaways and have drinks at weekends, and things like this cause cramp. It’s a question of educating everyone.”
There was also some good news for Gibraltar fans and players alike as it was announced Danny Higginbotham will be part of the back room staff, but not for the two friendlies as he had arranged annual leave before joining.
All in all Bula was in a positive mood when expressing his views and is extremely passionate about his side for the next two upcoming matches.
