H8FC Training 20 April 2013

20 people played today. Here are the summaries...

Kang Xiang - If Terry Pathmanathan is watching and invites Kang Xiang for a trial, I hope he picks him for the national team. Knowing Q-S may help a lot. MAN OF THE MATCH.

Alex - Accurate long-range efforts. Should take all the corners and try to bend towards goal than people's heads.

Shyong Ming - He should play behind the two strikers. Winning the ball and pass.

Wee Zheng - Has anyone seen this guy angry before? He can still smile when his team is losing.

Syahrein - I have no one day rest in a week at all. 6-days week and football. I think I did averagely well yesterday.

Tang Yao - Trying to chop down a small kid? Our Hulk says,'Dribble. Don't want to pass. Must teach him a lesson.'

David - I guess he should just switch to striker.

Malay guy with specs - Reminds me of me when I was in secondary school. Knows basic stuffs about football.

Malay guy with red shirt - Knew this guy during the street soccer days. He is quite good.

Malay guy with purple shirt - Very good winger.

Malay guy with orange shirt - Links up well as an attacking-mid.

Kang Xiang's friend - Played well as a winger.

Keith - Should stay at the wings and deliver ground crosses.

Chris - Skilful player. If he too chosen for the school team, H8FC can be a non-S League feeder club for the national team.

Daniel - Must learn how to shoot through books or video.

Nicholas - The complete central midfielder.

How Meng - Needs to choose between playing striker or goalkeeper.

Ah San - Almost all his touches are accurate.

Botak uncle - Needs more games if he wants to roll back the years.

Uncle Teo - Alex's, David's and Kang Xiang's father played as goalkeeper.

What a match. What a match. I did well as keeper. In the final moments of the match when it was tied at 4-4, I did all I could to prevent Team A from getting the winning goal. Saved one-on-ones from David and Shyong Ming. Cher Siang surprisingly did well with those no mercy tackles. Keith played out of position but did good as a defender. Winston knows how to win the ball by digging, even against skilful players. Alex and Nicholas combining well in the middle of the pitch as playmakers. Kang Xiang's friend is a brilliant winger. Blue shirt save water guy linking well with the rest, could be a spy because we never saw him before. Red shirt Malay guy is a feeder for the striker. #44 is a school player from a top school team. Enough said.

For Team A, Kang Xiang again proving why he is selected for the school team with my advice since long time ago. Wee Zheng another average game. Malay Uncle's son need more games. Malay Uncle can read the game well. Uncle Justin almost cannot be stopped when he is with the ball. David tearing up defences by galloping down the right-wing. Shyong Ming has speed so he should use this to snatch balls. Tall Uncle needs people who can cross the ball to him properly. Ah San again a wise man who knows his football. Daniel should shoot from a closer range.

MAN OF THE MATCH: KANG XIANG'S FRIEND

H8FC Training 6 April 2013

This is the match I picked...

Team A 4 Team B 5

Team A

GK - Cher Siang
RB - Indian Beckham Boy
CD - Wee Zheng
LM - Nicholas
RM - David
AM - Ah San
AM - Malay Boy #2
ST - Daniel

Team B

GK - Syahrein
CD - Kang Xiang
CM - Alex
CM - Uncle Justin
AM - Chris
RW - Keith
ST - Malay Boy #1

Please tell me if my teamsheets are wrong.

For Team A, Indian Beckham Boy is just starting his football passion and should be given time. Wee Zheng tried as he could defending. Nicholas is a threat at left-mid. David is on-form rampaging through the right-mid. Ah San really played well. Malay Boy #2, well-trained and play with skill. Daniel finished up a few goals.

For Team B, I did well as keeper even with a hurt knee. Kang Xiang defended and attacked too. Alex showing different range of passes executed by different sides of his feet. Uncle Justin is doing surprisingly average. Chris dribbles around. Keith with the ball like a true winger he is. Malay Boy #1 with the black shirt is a very good player. We may see him in the S-League soon.

MAN OF THE MATCH: MALAY BOY #1(Black Shirt)
