Today's game with Genesis isn't a particularly tough one, but still not a particularly easy one as well. Although Genesis hold their game in a slower pace, much slower than us, but with good control and body advantage they even things out with us. We started the game greatly by a 1-0 lead through a calm cool chip over the keeper by our coach 老崔. But sadly things turns sour as we have a free kick conceded right on the outside of the box. I was sub at first half and was due to go in on second half, so i was keep analyzing their game and such. When we were hit by the free kick i notice our GK have stand out of his line quite far, almost 1 meter out of the line, and i was thinking this isn't good....as they might chip in from there.....and turns out they did ! They have a good but slow curler in, GK managed to beat it out but hits the back post and rebounded into the goal after hit the GK's back. But nonetheless we struggle on and almost have a good chance when Ryan was found 1 on 1 with the keeper, but the keeper deny it subsequently.
Second half comes in and i was introduce to the game. I was having quite alot of trouble with me goal kicks as the wholeeee penalty box area was muddy and without the presence of grass, as a result i dun have any grip at all in the penalty box, not to mention kicking the ball over the halfway line....in one instance i 'drifted' in the penalty box somemore....damn T.T
The mud on my shoe..
Literally no stud !!!
Lucky its not me new shoe.....i dun noe...some how i found that i have better luck with this shoe....hmm......
Anyway, i pulled off 3 or 4 saves and the match ended without any goal scored amongst two team. Does this counts as a clean sheet???? Well Cruz say it is even though it just 35 minutes...........should i put it as a clean sheet of half a clean sheet????
We played our game too fast......way too fast, that we dun even have ball possession going. The moment we have the ball we send it straight up directly to our strikers, but with no avail. We concluded at the end of the day that we're too greedy, we wanted to take on our opponent in one goal; instead we should have start thing slow, get the feel first, and then maintain our possessions at first, before slowly pushing our possession zone up onto their side of the pitch. Sometimes football isn't just about scoring goals, it can be about controlling the ball as well, eventhough we wont score from that, we're not giving the ball away too.
So today's main topic ball possession........we had a good lesson today..........
Minutes un-scored: 0 (35 for me)
