ACS (Int'l), Singapore
Intro: A few of u 5.11 people have asked me why no MiM for last weekend's EPL matches.. thanks Jon Ong. As i said on e cbox, i was so tired. So, I'll do an MiM for this match instead. I looked forward to this match ever since I got Javier Lim's sms saying "match on thursday at acs int'l. wear blue full kit." haha. I was finally gonna play in a proper match again. Oh if u don't know, this was a match I (with Javier and Minh) played in, not watched. All the stuff I say in this MiM are as impartial as i tried to be. I dont like biasness haha. But the looking forward stuff died down this afternoon cos some of our players decided to play captain's ball in sch and hence got themselves abit tired before the match. dampener. But anyway, I was still looking forward to it la and wanted a win (and we did win..) to show that we can compete in A Div.
Tactics: I didn't pay attention to what formation the opponents were playing.. haha i'm sorry. But we played in a 4-4-1-1, arranged by, since we don't have a coach.. guess who? so, yes, 4-4-1-1 with this jersey no. 15 as the defensive midfielder. Our team was not bad, i think. But I'm NGE, as u know, and so made a few mistakes, one of which lead to us conceding a goal. Sorry teammates. But, as Shoban, our left back who's new to that position, said, one long ball i played to him was, ahem, "nice". Shoban, i don't remember it haha.. Ok let's talk about tactics, instead of our DM who's NGE.
My Man of the Match: Lee Ren Xiang (ACS(I)). Shoban may disagree, but really, i completely disagree with his choice for man of the match, even if he chose our jersey no 15! Ren Xiang played at his usual centre back position, and he did it well. Can't forget how in the (if that little clock thing that exists in my little brain thing is correct) 65th minute he ran back after a corner kick and tackled an opponent. wohoo.
"What the..?": 1. Javier Lim scored a 1-on-1, much like as usual haha. the regularity of ur 1-on-1 goals is quite.. high. 2. Our jersey no 15 got called for fouls 5 times, no less. the 5th one was a late tackle, and though i don't know why an advantage wasn't given for it, and i thought that this jersey no 15 was gonna get carded for it. But luckily, no card. This jersey no 15 has somehow started to nudge people in aerial balls. 3. our 2nd goal, by our jersey no 15! How did it go in?! 2nd fluke goal this jersey no 15 has scored in 3 months, both from long distance and with even more flukeness. I'm thankful for those 2 goals, though.
Commentator's memorable quotes: There were no commentators. BUT, dont worry I do remember some of e quotes from our team, such as.. "I thought must kick with my left foot la wth. then no defender come after me. so I just wait and use my right foot. heng ah!" - Javier Lim. "Minh, jump on the ball!" - Can't remember who. "Yeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" - Gareth Nah. "Whether u warm up in in twos or in threes, u are ONE." - this jersey no 15. haha..
Implications/Expectations: Our team is all hoping for A Div Soccer to be a CCA. Hopefully, this match did sth for that cause. But, anw, I'm NGE! Oh and.. rock on, team!
See u all in sch tmr.
