EVREN ASRAL
Owner
Evren Asral
"Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is." ~Johan Cruyff
About:
Evren founded Total Soccer in 2002, while still enrolled at TCNJ. The name “Total Soccer” is loosely based on a Dutch philosophy which Evren holds in the highest regard. It pertains to the idea in which any player can take over the role of any other player in the team. The theory requires players to be comfortable in multiple positions, therefore it puts high technical and physical demands on them. It is with this philosophy that Evren has laid the foundation of Total Soccer.
