We ran out losers against Anglican High school, even after we were leading 4-1 at one stage. It was a really disappointing show of complacency. Pretty much every one of us in the team is at fault for this. Sigh. Maybe I should have stopped doing those fancy stuff and nutmegging the opponent and opted to play the ball instead right from the start. At least I realised my folly at the end. But the disappointing thing is that some players still continued making mistakes.

Alright.. I don't fault them for trying to want score, but we are playing as a team and we should stick to our roles. It could be the hunger to score more that lead them to run out of position (eg: Defenders going upfront often unnecessarily), but doing so lead to us conceding goals and you guys should have learnt from the experience. Unfortunately, our lack of teamwork and understanding lead us to lose the match 5-4 in the end.

It was a great performance from us in the first half, right until after our fourth goal. Elroy got the first from a left foot shot and Nicholas got the second from the volley. I got the third and fourth with a simple finish and a chip over the keeper respectively. I can't say that they are not good, but we should have won. We threw away our chances. Bah. I think we should build up on our discipline and tactical knowledge before we embark on any more games as "Zhonghua All-stars" because I think we would rather do our alma mater proud then throw away a game this way.

Quite disappointed with my own performance though. Even though I scored two goals, I got tired out in the second half due to my lack of fitness and did not contribute to the team overall as much as I would have hoped. I apologise to any of you guys who played today and is reading this.

I guess it's time for me to forget this damn loss and get over it after being damn sore over this loss the whole day already. The league's starting Saturday and I think focusing on the match should be my agenda.

I have to let this out. FUCK IT THAT WE LOST THIS WAY.

Sorry.
