today uncle andrew sent me to Regent Secondary to play soccer
we were facing off against PromisedLand
a relatively unknown team
when i reached there
uncle steven said thaddeus called to say only gt 11 players
-.-
so uncle jeremy came
then the ref came to us and said
its 5.30
we must start now
and the best thing?
we only had 10 players present
apparently we had more players now..14 in total..
but they were late
so we started with 10 men
and i started as a RB
was not exactly sure if i would at least help the defence
cuz i find it hard to keep track with our offside trap and my first touch clearance is nt exactly smth to be proud of
and there and then
5 mins into the first half
i suffered my first injury of the season
it wasnt smth serious
but it was enuff to at least scare my mum?
i attempted a volley clearance
the ball bounced off my opponent
and when straight to my mouth
then i cleared the ball
what i din realize immediately was that that hit on my mouth caused my lips to crack and it bleed
and so for the whole half
i was spitting blood
thats y they might have wondered why i kept spitting
haha
half time
i was prepared to come off
after all
we were leading 1-0
and i felt joel kuan would be a btr defender then me
but then
we only had 3 subs
and all 3 uncles cannot tahan anymore
so i continues in RB for second half
second half was disatrous
we conceded a penalty
and let in a scorcher from outside the penalty area
we were 2-1 down
i tink its fair to say the second goal was a result of my inability to catch up or at least give the left winger a physical contest
a long diagonal ball from the right hand side of the pitch found this left winger
and i ran all the way from midfield to catch up with him
which i did
but he was too much bigger then me
so he gt passed me and crossed in
joel kuan managed to head it away
and then..
the opponent let fly a shot that gave our keeper no chance
from then on
it was us attacking
bt in a match we dominated
we lost it in the most perculiar fashion
last 5 mins
we had a penalty
and thaddeus and joel kuan tot we were gna score it and get tat equaliser
so we decided to pretend we were in a championsleague finals
and we stood at midfield
with arms around each other
and prepared to jump up and down if torrence scored from the penalty spot
then shao ask us to be serious and get ready for rebounds
so we decided to put aside our play
and to our disbelief
torrence shot clipped the post
it was still 2-1 to PromiseLand
then..
i had a chance to deliver a cross in from right wing
after picking it up outside the box
but nick couldnt get a clean touch to it
the ball sent it was a bit too high i guess
we lost.and there's no goal to dedicate to you.but one thing for sure.
then i ahd another chance in the dying moments
getting the ball
i somehow gt pass 1 defender then tried to pass to siyuan
but i passed to a defender instead
oh well
the thought of you made me carry on despite the blood
then
we lost
><
but i guess we did not have enuff palyers too
it was my first time palying 90 mins of a match
and i was completely tired!
hahah
but i guess its good to play for so long
trains up stamina
^^
