Something happened to my computer!!! Luckily I have my sis laptop as a backup. HAHAHA. CTs have started and wasnt able to concentrate for the past few days. Blame it on hana kimi (haha, no, should blame myself for lack of self control). But, chiong all episodes on Youtube, so I can mug peacefully now :D :D
Shall link back to the main point of coming here! Had a packed preparation last weekends for the NUS 7A-side tournament held on sunday. Im very proud of the team although we lost by penalties duting quater-finals. Cos felt that this is really the first time where we went so far...with good fights put up against strong opponents. We avoided being drawed with NUS alumni and rather good JCs like SA, TJ, SR, but nevertheless, really thought that our game play and concepts improved from last year. Our game had more aim and a direction in it, rather than just kicking balls away from our opponents. I could see purpose in our kicks.
Definitely, there's more to improve. I still made many ankle throws...grave mistake as a defender, cause I often let my opponent take advantage of my mistake. Bleh. But remember remember! Must remember not to repeat this again! Overall thought that I played quite well (in the beginning)..then lack of focus and fatigue overtook me (hais). Started playing and defending like crap for my last few games, didnt communicate well with winni (arrh!). ya..could hear myself scolding shit #*#$&# to myself. haha, poor opponents.
So continue working on pumping balls (its much better le!) Good aggression I showed on sunday. Work harder on jockey, STAMINA!, concentration. mind over body. gogogo!
To my team: for those who felt disappointed or think we havent reached our potential (yes, we havent!), it's not too late. do not blame yourself on mistakes made, learn from it, and never to do it again. Work on your weakness and strengthen our strengths! We have made a great step from last year and I'm sure we can make it this year! Have confidence but not complacency, work extra hard and we'll see our efforts being realised. Just by talking does not help, start through your actions and we'll work this out together. Come on NJ SOCCER! :D
