Matchday Review
I am posting for yesterday.It was our school's second friendly match of the holidays and my first.I had a muscle pull the day before the match and my hopes of playing was doubtful.I was supposed to play for the bboys but the cboys did not have enough players so i was pulled in to help.There was a slight pull on my right calf but i managed to bear with it.The Greenridge Cboys were not intimidating in their physical size.In fact,they were almost similar to us.Met my old pri school classmate afiq and he was in the starting line up.The Field conditions was as bad as ever because of the torrential rain for the past whole week.The soil was clayey and smelled like cowdung.In the first few minutes i was bodychecked to the ground and got myself dirty.That was it! If they wanted a physical game,i will play the same or even harder.The thing about me is that i have a normal personality off the field and an aggresive one on the field.I started off okay but not the best.This was normal for me.I always improve as the match goes on.Daniel was playing behind me as last man and jia hao and vincent as fullbacks.That was more or less the defensive line up.Our midfield was totally non existent.Our defence was exposed and i was at the front line.Always had two to three people running at me but i manage to stop them.The opposition strikers had almost no shots on target during the first half.We conceded the first goal from a corner kick due to poor marking from Vincent.I was damm pissed because i specifically instructed him to mark the guy.I shouted in his face and he became emo.Lol.Apologised the next moment and was rewarded by a last ditch tackle in the penalty box by vincent to save a certain goal.In the process he injured his ribs.We pulled back 1 goal from a penalty by arif and added on another from a cool finish by firdaus.In the second half banged three more goals.The match was over and won.I was moved up to a midfield role towards the end of the game.I was covered in slime and mud after all the sliding tackles i put in.The final score 5-2.B boys unfortunately lost 5-2.After the match went for lunch at pizza hut.Shao Ming took my ball and ran away with my ball.Had lunch with fadhil,adrian,joel and macs.Later decided to catch a movie which happened to be twilight.The movie was good but not great.I seriously don't know what is the big fuss over the movie.The problem with these type of teenage fiction books is they are often long.For example the harry potter series.The way they interpret the book is extremely vital in the success of the movie.Harry Potter is a flawless example from the casting and the faithful interpretion of the book.Reached home at 7.30 and caught the Singapore vs Vietnam game.Ended 0-0.Lucky for singapore as they really deserved to lose the match.Adios!
