After 2 weeks of layoff from professional football the team gathers once again for their much anticipated friendly. The weather was streaking hot and the bodies lethargic due to the excessive boozing in the new year. Fico was good but the boozing was intensive to the extend that lifting our legs for a kick was a chore.
Here are the players who grace the match. A huge thanks to all who have turned up and also thanks to those who Aeroplane us...
A small note......No offence to anybody or anyone but i think Every player is precious to us and we will only call sufficient amount of players so everyone gets a considerable amount of time on the pitch so i hope everyone respects the system and reciprocate by being responsible to notify me earlier (1 day in advance) if you are unable to turn up for the game. Especially when you have agreed to play and due to certain reasons not being able to play please notify me.....
The lack of players would result in over exhausting our other players and i think it is not fair to the other players. I am not out to pin point anyone or anybody but just serves as a reminder in future. It also wun put me in a situation that last minute need to activate players to come or whatsoever.
Let me just showcase to everyone the pillars of the team....
Ah Fat.
( Definitely always there for the team...spiritually and in between the posts. When we have a call for him to grace the pitch he will always be ready to do so.)
Daniel
( Our energizer bunny...committed...dedicated...passionate...enthusiastic...Role Model of the team)
Chai
(was on the verge of not featuring in the latest match but somehow he turned up and provided a match winner performance.... Follows and supported the team with all his might.)
And not forgetting the remainder warriors who battled to earn the hard earned 2-2 draw on 080209.
Jin
Zhengquan
Rixian
Twelve
Seng
Lewis
Zonghui
Myself
Kaweng
Rixian's friend (Sorry i didn't get your name)
Match Review
Our first match encoutering Malay who actually look like they pack quite a punch. Was given the offset of +3.5.
Ah fat was once again deployed to guard the posts... Jin paired up with Daniel with Kaweng on the left and Simon on the Right. Lewis on the right midfield 12 on the other flank of the field and Rixian and Chai stomped the midfield. Seng paired up with Zong hui on top.
Match started with us going positively with us approaching positively at the opponents.
However due to the lack in match fitness and communication... Our threat of the day... Big Bad Emile Heskey who was virtually, literally "Unknockable" placed his first goal into the net although kaweng did his best to nudge him aside....They had only 1 shot and it had to go in....
On the other end..Chai and Rixian are pounding the balls towards the keeper hard and fast. Chai is once again putting in a 5 star performance pulling the strings with Rixian who was instrumental in setting up the first goal. A delicate chip from Rixian met by Chai who took it down nicely and wham.... 1-1...
Defence was jittery and communication was down.... Emile Heskey again was barraging his way into defence...Simon slided knocked and bump him but he wouldn't budge and daniel and simon went for a double team but he just shove them aside and went clear towards the keeper and put the team 2-1 up before half time....
Knowing how the Opponents operate, We had a better picture on how to lock them out of their play....with emile Heskey deprived of balls their attacking option was reduced.... Zonghui is intensifying his efforts to win the ball running himself dry grabbing at every chance to win the ball back.... All the balls towards midfield had only 2 possible location.... Rixian head or Chai Head as the two of them stomp their authority in centre mid...Defence was perpetually stagnant...With ever stable Jin sweeping away ever possible threat and daniel fast as anything winning all the balls with his pace and speed...
Twelve had a few good opportunity to sweep in a few balls but was not met by anybody...Seng also had a decent attempt that went slightly wide....Rixian at the heart of another attack smash the ball hard towards the keeper and the keeper only could parry it to the feet of lewis who slotted the ball onto the feet of the opponent who tuck the ball into the net. And the match ended soon.
A good performance for everyone but fitness level for everyone needs to be elevated and maybe more play with each other will reap in better understanding between everyone.
Good start after the new year and may our new game get a better result.
No offence to anybody on the earlier comment and i just hope the best for the team.
regards,
simon
