Following which, he added, “What I like about it’s the boy’s method. These are the type of objectives I like essentially the most as a result of it takes audacity to do this in a crowd that he’s not aware of,
“That tells you that the boys are well-prepared and that the coaches have done their work on the players in this team.”
