Going into a decade of matches, we stepped into our first defeat away from our familiar Fuhua Sec. Juying secondary is a place totally out of the vicinity and took us a lot of effort to find our way into the pitch. The opponents are by anything lousy with their organised Team warmup and pro team management look and not forgetting they are all pure indian put us in a difficult mental state to start the game.
Our game started with us feeling the fatigue setting into our bodies, barely anyone of us could put on an extra gear. Defence started with Rixian and Daniel in the middle. Ta ren resumed position on the right with Jumain and Lewis in e middle. Twelve played on the left and Zong hui lead the attack with Chai.
The Whinners went 1-0 down through a corner kick header. And 2-0 after a shot from the opponent struck rixian and sent Ansen to his wrong direction.
2nd Half wasn't by any means any much improvement in luck for us as we struggled to find our feet. It only took them awhile to go 3-0 up through an unexpected lob past asen and it was only through a brillant shot by chai on his left foot volley that went in sweetly.
Zhenqing made it 3-2 through a converted corner kick and we started to find the energy in our body. It seems that zhen qing is able to bring the spirits of the team up with his enthuness, and we began hunting desperately for our 3rd goal to equalise. Sadly, luck wasn't on our side as we failed to have a consecutive unbeaten run of 11 games as tragedy struck our team when opponent finished off the game with a 4-2 victory over the whinning 11.
Like what i always say... We will need a defeat to find that we are not so strong afterall...Yes we may have reached a certain level of depth in team but the whole team cannot stop seeking for improvement as we must always aim to play better.
As it shows, the whinning 11 stormed to a better performance in their following Match 12 at Fuhua Secondary School a place we call our Homeground that we have slammed in 23 goals in 5 matches. a ration of 4 goals per match.
This match though is a familiar view a recent opponent that we have encountered and defeated them. This time round it was deja vu again as we rained our attacks on them neglecting any involvment our defence and our keeper. However the few instances that our Defence was required to muster up a strong front, Jin and Ah fat clearly match any oncoming threat from the opponent. Arguably their strongest player, the number 17 posed a strong threat but Jin totally kept him out of the game and it was through a cannon shot from Rixian that ruptured the goal post send the keeper into flurry and fumbled the ball into the onrushing Zonghui.
We started off the 2nd half with one fluent attack from simon sweeping the ball in cleared out to be received by rixian who chipped the ball over and by some ways or another returning back t rixian, Rixian laid it nicely to jumain who's laser guided pass found Ta ren on the right and Ta ren swiftly rolled the ball nicely into the path of Zonghui who grabbed his second goal of the match putting us 2-0 up.
Opponents clearly pissed off over their consecutive defeats resorted to dirty tackles and unsportsmanship tackles taunting our players, belittling of all our players Chai about him being able to use only his left foot and giving nonsensical tackles to our players. The referee obviously unable to manage the game left the game to flow by itself and minutes into the second half their number 8 a growing resemblance to a wild boar got into a face off with chai. Within minutes, Chai silenced him with a vicious right foot into the net.
The game grew ugly as Number 8 and Ah fat and Daniel had a minor square off which is a testament to their unsportsmanship and their failure to accept that their team depth is of much lower capability then us. However, it has got to be Ta ren to be the most funny comment by calling their poor guy Fat Pig in chinese... Which is quite funny...
Although we clearly are the distinct winners something is lacking from the team which is the aggression and the fire. Somehow or another or was it me i find that we lack a little bit of fire without Zhenqing because he is usually the enthusiastic guy who would shout talk and rant. Our team must maintain our harmony but lets not let down our fire or passion and have more aggression !!
We are good though.... so i think its good time we think about what numbers will we be donning soon as we are propelling into a state we need to get our own jerseys....
See you lads next match.
