Buangkok FC Training 28 June 2014

We started off with a 5-on-4 match. My team lost 5-1 and I suspect kelong. I scored the only goal. Sweet finish to top-centre of the net.

After that, we had a 6-on-5 match. My team were down 7-0. But we dug in and ended the match 8-5. Kang Xiang and Uncle Ah San should have stayed defence. Daniel and Jeff left it late with the goals for my team.
We had a last match after that. I played goalkeeper. We were 4-0 up. Got pegged 4-4. But won 5-4.

Nicholas seemed suspect losing possession at times. And dog food are expensive if you know what I mean.

Keith is a winger. Have to pass the ball to the right people.

Kang Xiang did well as defender. I don't know how many times I mention this.

Ah San is needed more in defence. Can run up to meet corners too.

Jeff came late. Good striker though.

Alex is our playmaker. Was there for me during my down days in Poly and a trainee.

Winston improving his game. He can plug our hole in defence.

Eugene returns. Really skilful player.

Daniel been scoring goals. He needs good assists.

Indian/Bangla guy came back after a long hiatus. Good player.

A Chinese grandfather played with us. I was amazed he could head the ball.

Ah San's son is a very good finisher of the ball. For the future.

Ah San's son's friend have to play more. But with his age group.

Man Of The Match: Uncle Justin. The all-round midfield player. Defying age.

Q-S
Alex
David
Shyong Ming
Nicholas
Daniel
Jeff
Nazri
Javier
Uncle Justin
Winston
Farhan

Alex, David, Uncle Justin and me played 'monkey' while waiting for the rest. People can see who are the best passers of the ball.

Shyong Ming and Nicholas joined later and we had a 3-on-3 match.

Nazri returned after another long hiatus.

Daniel and Winston then arrived.

Jeff too came with his Torres 9 jersey.

Javier came late around 6pm.

A new guy made a grand appearance. Parking his big car and asked to join us. He claimed he didn't play football for many years. Told us he was part of Singapore Under-23 a long time ago. His name is Farhan.

MAN OF THE MATCH: UNCLE JUSTIN. For his age, he is outstanding. Can dribble, pass properly and even score. Very few can dispossess him with the ball.

Buangkok FC Training 31 May 2014

Alex, David, Kang Xiang, me and Ah San's son started with a 3-on-3 match. I scored 3 and Ah San's son scored 2. But this match doesn't matter much.

We played 5 goal matches and this one stands out...

Team A 5 Team B 4

Team A

GK - Q-S
CD - Kang Xiang
RB - Nicholas
CM - Uncle Justin
CM - Winston's friend #1
LW - Keith
RW - David

Team B

CD - Winston
CD - Shyong Ming
AM - Winston's friend #2
LW - Venom boy
CM - Alex
CM - Winston's best friend

Q-S again with beautiful stops as keeper. Rallying his troops even when they were in the danger zone of trailing 4-1. His deputies Kang Xiang and David kept calm and drop back to defend. Both scratch and clawed to bring the match to 4-4. Venom boy, on his debut, scored 3. One volley, then through my legs and drilling to the bottom right corner. Nicholas did all he could to stop him. He should stick to him more. Uncle Justin was instrumental in midfield. Defensive too. Winston's friend #1 on his debut needs more games. Maybe another one-off? Keith another excellent show as winger. A valuable asset to the team.

For Team B, Winston doing very well. Being a regular pays off for him. Shyong Ming another very good performance. Knows when to defend and when to attack. Winston's friend #2 also need more games. Scoring 1 is good. Alex puppeting the midfield. With intelligent passes. Winston's best friend is showing signs of being slightly better. Needs more time.

Team A looked done 4-1 down. But with my people motivation skills, we went on to win.

MAN OF THE MATCH: David Teo Kang Wei. A leader in the making. Scoring the most goals today. Cool and calm in the match stated above. Knows off-ball positioning.
