Today, we played our match against the top players of the league....the Man Utd of EPL, the AC Milan of Serie A, the Real Madrid of La Liga.....we face against....err......Kakibangku FC.....hmm ....
Well to be honest, i just wanted to make our lose seems easier for people to absorb......losing 3-0 in both game back to back and 6 goals conceded in 2 match doesn't sound too positive for other people especially those who have no knowledge in football but still criticizes and gives opinion base on common sense alone......anyway....
Ironically, Kakibangku FC is a team that is based by Malaysian players, with mostly Malay players.....it seem strange, probably cuz i havent heard a Malay player played in such a long time, their language their aggressiveness have faded from my mind, nonetheless, they are still as aggressive and have the tendency to gives you the feeling of a fight is ready to erupt at any time.
Kakibangku FC is currently on the top 2 of the table and is, as expected from typical Malaysia-based team, excels in playing high balls and through balls, as well having a tremendous physical and speed advantage over our players. Clearly they are operating on a higher level than us.
For those of you that followed would probably noticed that i am currently pursuing a 3rd consecutive clean sheet at the moment, and clearly on my 3rd game i conceded 3 goals this time. First goal came from a high long ball that was slow but dipping right on the angle of the goalpost and the goal line, having spotted this i have being able to grap the ball firmly before realizing that my body is slowly 'floating' into the net, unable to do anymore but to push the ball outwards i did, but unfortunately the opponent's striker was already there, 2 infact. And even as i have got up and prepare to recover the loose ball i was finished by the first goal.
2nd and 3rd goal came from corners as poor defending had the defenders just scrambled and couldn't man-marked the scoring players, but nonetheless.......i felt deeply responsible for the first goal and that my reaction, my goal kick, my anticipation could have been better all around today......
We didn't give up anyway, but found hard to penetrate their defence, as speed deters Frank from penetrating, and physical skill deters possession being made possible even by the experienced older players...however credit to the guys for never give up and still fight till the end....
I would really want improve my reaction, my distribution as well as getting yet much more bravery into my own playing style...i started to miss back the old days where i played without fear and 100% aggressive playing style.......would try to set a personal goal of playing back that playing style by the end of the year..........would i make it ???
Numbers of minute un-scored : 0 (0 for me)
