Its interesting. As someone with a fair amount of experience both in Soccer and with Coaching, I feel that I understand exactly what is happening to Nate.
Coaching is a long game.
You should rarely prioritize any player over another except when the circumstances demand it, but he's like a child who constantly gets overlooked who finally gets that moment in the Sun and he obsesses over it.
Its like Al Bundy with his '4 Touchdowns in 1 game' memory. Yeah, sure, but this is sports...it is a very strictly 'what have you done lately' industry.
Sure, Nate got a great win. But he completely discounts the work of his players and the heavy influence of sheer dumb luck.
I mean, it was against Tottenham. I'm half-surprised they didnt put the ball in their own net!
But for Nate it shows inexperience and he is likely going to get cut down to size. And thats not a bad thing. Its not a fun experience, but often necessary.
I would imagine that if Ted or Beard get wind of what Nate says to the equipment boy he is in serious trouble. Thats the guy thats going to have to make an appointment with the therapist.
