Saturday, December 18, 2004 Had a football match today. The team I played for got trashed by some team with players from the Prime League. I guess not all's bad. The coach said that the players had not have trained since September, and that it was expected that they lose to a team that has trained together for three years. I came on for a team I have seen only for the first time today in the second half, playing an attacking midfielder role. Well, did not get the ball from my teammates too often, I guess it was because it was the first time they were playing with me and vice versa, and chose to pass to people they trusted more. Had a few touches and made a few passes here and there, before the coach put me back to defend. I guess I did not do too badly, as the opponent fired blanks. I was able to nutmeg (put the ball through the opponent's legs aka that Nike advertisement) one of their strikers. Pretty risky move, considering I was the last defender left. But well, I did it. Heh.Still, the match was an eye-opener for me. It was really physical and it was as if the teams hated each other to the core (which was not true). I guess I just have to adapt to their styles. Thankfully I have weight, so when most of them try to push me off the ball they fall instead. Haha. I hope I have good memories in the years to come for football.. There's probably another match on Monday. |
