Swansea City striker, Danny Graham has revealed that he was satisfied with the performance of his team during their recently concluded tour of North http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390.
The Welsh club lost their tour opener to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/San-Jose-Earthquakes-c40434 in their final game.
Before http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 – both at home.
Commenting on the performance of his team over the last couple of weeks, the Swans 3.5 million pounds forward assessed that their tour of North America was a ‘beneficial’ one and they had shown marked improvement as the tour went by.
He told the reporters in an interview, “The tour’s been very beneficial. We’ve all worked very hard and it’s been a great trip. Our first game in Denver game was very hard… But if you look at that compared to our final game you can see a big improvement.”
The 26-year old also believed that their home fixtures against Blackpool and Stuttgart will prove to a valuable experience for the team, before they travel to Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 for their season’s opener.
The Swans could have concluded their North American excursion on a high, after they led the Earthquakes by a margin of two goals in the second half. However, they were denied by the hosts right at the death, who fired two goals within the final ten minutes
to force the visitors to settle for a stalemate.
Even though http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-c10193 Graham expressed his disappointment over his side’s failure to close out the game, he insisted that the tour was all about getting into a good shape before the start of the next season, and believed they had achieved that objective.
He added, “It’s disappointing to concede the two late goals at the end, but the most important thing to come out of the game was match sharpness, that’s why we came out to America.”
