Past 2 weeks or so have been quite fruitful, either nighting or studying with the study trio or else attending tuition. I think i could have been alot more fruitful if i had a longer concentration span or if i was smarter, oh well. Anyway past two sundays, apart from going to church, there were 2 FraterniteFC matches. Having not played for them for like a few years, we finally got our chance after our captain came back to singapore for a few weeks. As usual, the teams we were up against would leave any soccer fans drooling. Firstly there was the NJC soccer team for the first sunday and Honda FC, which consisted of over 22 players for the next.
Against the NJC team, i was full of confidence before the match cause of the huge amounts of practice i had put in as playing striker on saturday games with Kaieros players. Yea and this is coupled by the fact that im having a 3 goals in two games record. So brimming with confidence, we started of the game. However from what any neutrals can see( if they had been watching the match), they would think that i did not know how to play soccer as i was practically the worse player for the whole game. With many misplaced passes, miscontrolled balls and poor shooting, it was a wonder how i was able to keep my place in the starting lineup for the whole match. The most glaring mistake would be that of me missing a shocking open goal.Would u believe that?!?! It all came from a high backpass to the opponents keeper who mistimed his punt, which allowed the ball to bounce past him. And the onrushing me could not even properly recieve the ball with my chest and the chance was wasted. Also, i was practically flying around the whole match, not because i was a fast sprinter but because of how i weak i was compared to the opponents. Everytime a had the ball, one barge and i would be sent flying 10m away. Oh and my defending was atrociously bad too, and at least 2 of the goals that the team conceded was really partly my fault. Even though a goal a scored was ruled out, my overall rating was still LOW. Yea so that was practically the worse match i had ever played. It sent my confidence to an all time low after that and really showed me that i was not as good as i thought i was. Final score NJC4-0 FraterniteFC
As for Honda FC, due to the errors that i commited in the previous match, i felt really inferior and apologetic to all my teammates. However the team were really encouraging and just told me to continue to do what i do best. So i continued in my lone striking role and supported by the wingers. In the first half, did not make much of an impact as i was only starting to warm up and getting the feel of the ball as well as timing the runs. Although we went to nil down early in the first half, the never say die spirit in-built within all FFC players started working within us, with the defenders holding out well and denying the opponents chances by closing down quickly and efficiently. The only 2 notable contributions i made in the first half would be that of a deflected cross which found no one and a shot from a corner which resulted in an easy tap in for our team. GOAL 2-1 half time.
At the second half, things started to get heated up a bit, with my fouls and time wasting being commited. However it was because of one of these fouls that resulted for our equalising goal. From a dead ball situation near the half way line, out captain Wilkie, whipped in a delicate but yet deft chip-shot, which fooled practically everyone, even teammates, and sailed into the top corner of the net. GOAL!! 2-2. With new found confidence, even the opponents increasingly viscious play were not able to overwhelm us. Chances were continually created but were mostly spurned before we got to the penalty box, me being the main culprit with yet more misplaced and mistimed passes. However, from a quick counter attack, a through pass to Yu Shao who returned the ball to me sent me free towards goal. With the defenders all caught off guard and appealing for offside, this gave me a chance. Before shooting, my mind was a total blank and my heart seemed to want to burst out as nervousness crept all around me. Luckily i managed to shoot pass the keeper's outstretched hands to score the winner! Phew finally i ended my 1 match goal drought. Well and that was almost it. What a comeback!!
