Team Goat 1 Hospitality 2
(WeiMing)
A last minute goal ended Goat's hope of getting a draw in a feisty encounter. Both team were set up to attack and we did.
We started with 10man as 4 of our players were late. An a goal came early for Hospitality before we could introduce RenJie into the game. (The guy who took a cab which cost $24 to the game) A corner was not properly defended led to the goal. But from that goal I have learnt something and that is never put 2 centre backs at the front post when they are so good at marking and heading the ball!
We continued to push and we had a few decent chances to get a goal but their keeper were up to the mark.
2nd half, we switched things a little by pushing up the defence line in order to compact the midfield and the strikers. Things did go well as we were constantly getting the ball and creating chances. Sadly none came until the last 5minutes when we were awarded a corner which changed everything. Capitalising on them for not dealing with the ball well, Weiming was able to put a stinging shot towards goal and past the keeper. 1-1!
But sadly the draw was not ours to take as they got the winner. Both team were desperate to get the late winner, and a poor clearance of the ball, gave the opp who was standing outside the box to line up a shot which was deflected in. Unlucky to have conceded the goal but it happens. No blame on anybody and we have really give it our all to win the game and to push for the equaliser.
What I want to say is to look at the positives for this game and as well as the mistakes we have committed and to learn from it.
We were pretty bad in the 1st half but 2nd half was definitely an improvement. We are stringing passes and creating chances. There are 2 so called sayings that I took away today and they were,
1. From Kiong
We can't possibility keep attacking with the ball and playing a fast game. Sometime we need to hold the ball and dribble here and there.
Agree and Disagree. Agree that we should not always CHIONG and attack. Disagree that we should dribble here and there. We should always pass the ball and make the ball go towards a better place (no.2 saying), to create opening and chances. When we hold the ball too long and not pass we will only be closed down and thus ended up losing the ball! Which is very bad. So what i'm saying is, if you can't do anything to the ball pass it away. Pass it to the back, spread to your near by team-mates! They might be able to do something which you can't do from your area. All in all trust your team-mates and stroke the ball around thus everyone will get a feel of the ball and the rhythm of the game.
2. From YongJie
Bring the ball to a better place.
This has only been done by 1 person so far, from my view today. If there is anyone else sorry i apologise for not seeing it. Well and that person is Yangshan. He is able to bring the ball out from danger or spread it to a better person/place where the ball has much more potential to be a treat for the opp. What he did was to bring the ball out and either spreads it to the wing or to the back where the team will be given time to re-group. This is what should be done instead of us looking for a better place ourselves.
Hand in hand with this 'saying', we should also be in better space where our team-mates will be able to find us to create chances towards goal. Which is what i have been saying, run for your team-mates.
This is what i have to say so far and i hope you guys hear what i have been saying. I know i'm one of the lousiest in the team and the Fattest there. You guys might think that i'm bullshitting here and i know nothing! But hey, i'm sure this are all pointers which is essential for us to be better. So heed them! Also, if you have ways to improve the team i will also like to hear them! We are a team so we should share and discuss! =)
Motm: Lim ZhuLiang(19)
Zhuliang has been key today in his role as a centre back. He never once let his man get away from him and has also provide cover for his right back when there is a need. He marshalled the line with confidence and advised kahwoon on what need to be done and what should not be. Definitely a key figure to the side and i do hope his forms continue for the team!
Kambing!
