10 against 10.
Q-S had a crap game as goalkeeper. After I swapped with Shyong Ming when we were 2-0 down, I let in a goal which was supposed to be a through pass by the opponents. Then their Kenny made it 4-1. Alex's tough reinforcements Teck Huat and Elton didn't gave up. Their combo helped us to narrow the Yellows's lead to 4-3. Then its HT.
Adil and his 3 friends do have understanding between them. Haziq was doing damage on their right-wing. He is difficult to stop. David, Nicholas and Kang Xiang was there to maim him. They have the 4 Horsemen of 29 San, Yee, Kenny and Justin. Justin, absent for today, is a huge factor to us winning. This foursome of Adil, Haziq, Aqil and Ahraf are dangerous. And there are more of them who did not attend. Mann, was doing well as keeper. Yee marshalling the defence. Kenny, with those potshots. Kelvin made a rare appearince playing striker then defending good. Safie, free for today, is using his bulky size to win balls. Our chairman 29 San is class. He actually can shoot with his feet but seldom show it. One shot hit the upright which had me completely beaten.
Faizal's goal was beautiful. A dipper.
David, Nicholas and Kang Xiang are no-nonsense defenders. If not for them, we would be thrashed by Adil's quartet. Wee Zheng, who doesn't want to be called Richard, needs to just win the ball and pass it to the nearest teammate.
If Shyong Ming were to play defence, is our chances of winning higher and lesser goal conceded?
MAN OF THE MATCH: ADIL. THIS GUY WANTS TO WIN EVERY BALL. HE WAS PHYSICALLY HURT WHEN GIVING FULL EFFORT OF SEIZING THE BALL. HE DESERVES THIS HUMBLE AWARD FOR TODAY.
Soccer tips
ReplyDelete1)Perfect your first touch
The most important thing about beating a player is your first touch – if that’s good you can do whatever you want with the ball
2)It’s important to always try and play forwards, because that’s where the goal is, but if you can’t go forward, play sideways – keeping possession is the most important thing. To do this you have to have a picture in your head of what you’re going to do with the ball before it comes to you.
