SUFI FC 2 Le Chinois Utd 1
(Weisheng x1, Mok x1)
I will probably give this game a brief summary as my brain is definitely shutting down as I type every single word out now. I know that u guys feel my shag-ness too man. Haha.
The second game was against a group of middle age uncles who flattered to deceive in terms of their appearance. Slightly pudgy and with sagging facial skin, we were led to believe that perhaps a rerun of the 10-1 scoreline that we had against another uncle team was in store. This game also saw the appearance of Yasin who tried to fit himself into the team set-up. Bringing with him an excellent pedigree of footie background, we were looking forward to him lightng up a game that was threatened with frequent flashes of lightning (that saw Wong cower in fear, HAHA sorry bro!) and a sky that seemed to get darker exponentially by the minute.
Phileo started in goal with Farhan, Hizam, Huijie and then HG in defense. The midfield 3 were Syafiq, Ws and Vic. Rudee and Ahcool provided the flanking support with Juf starting up top. Once again, the jokers kicked into gear early on as we drew 1st blood within the first 10 minutes. No danger was in sight when Vic was fouled just inside our opponents half. A quick witted AhCool set the ball down as our opponents were still arguing and in pretty much Xabi Alonso fashion, Weisheng floated an exquisite ball over the keeper and into the back of the net from nearly 30 yards?! What a way to score your first goal. Excellent dude.
Our uncle-like opponents had other ideas as the possessed several speed-demons (wtf?!) who continually bombarded our backline as they adopted a punt and run tactic. Although we were holding out well, it was only a matter of time before we faced a goal threatening situation.
It duly came when a freekick from the edge of our penalty box was floated in more of with hope than with precision. The ball eventually nestled in the top corner with our players feeling disgusted at the way we conceded. The half ended one apiece as the lightning show in queenstown forced both sets of players to hurry off the field.
In the 2nd, Allan started in goal with Kass, Hizam, Alaric and Jason in defense. Mok, Lq and Law were the middle 3, flanked by Yasin and Wong. Dinie provided the focal point of play. The boys in blue expected a tough, physical battle against our overly aggressive and rather unsportsmen-like opponents. And our play in the 2nd half had every bit of fight and aggression that was needed to combat against them. The winning goal eventually came mid way through the 2nd half after Law's sumptuous trick that left his marker for dead, with space in front of him, he accelerated towards goal and calmly laid the ball into the path of ME! with the keeper fully committed and off his line. A second open invitation in 2 games meant that the gaffer certainly had to score, esp from just inside the box and with the goal gaping. Needless to say, if he had missed, it would have been curtains on his playing career. 0.0
The game eventually ran down with the jokers creating several more chances as Wong, Rudee and Juf all had opportunities to finish the game. 2-1 was how it ended.
My M.O.M: It was a rather tough choice as once again, all of us fought hard and did what was necessary. However the one who stood out in my eyes was Dinie. It was probably a combination of his performances in both games but the man definitely did play like his name-sake, berbatov. The ballerina-like touches were coupled with purpose and desire as he weaved patterns around the defenses while in his role up front. I myself was in awe at times at how simple he made playing look. Well done bro and keep it up. And it's not because its your birthday that I decided on this, your performances were really top notch. Cheers bro.
Gaffers thoughts: At the end of a rather LONNNG day, i must say that you guys kept me going through yet another enjoyable weekend. The weather wasn't the best with both the haze and heavy rain, however we pulled through as a team and showed plenty of our strengths. Clinical in the 1st and resolute in the 2nd. We continue to learn more about each other and I cannot stress enough how amazing a team we have become. The spirit is right and everything else seems to be going good for us. Kudos to you guys man! Rest well for the rest of the weekend and look forward to next week's game. It would be a 5pm kick off at the same venue and I am very certain that we would be unveiling our jerseys next week. See you guys then!
Finally, feliz cumpleanos Dinie! May you stay 20 every year bro. And yes, thats spanish, unlike the fake german. Tsk.
