today i had a very good game of football with my church.. it's been pretty long since i joined them for football and i'm pretty sad to say they're still not tactically adept yet.. but based on my own performance, i think it was a pretty good showing in midfield. got into scuffles for the ball with some vietnamese, whom i still think are pretty much rubbish at football. i know when i turn in a good performance and i think today my role as a midfielder sweeping up loose balls in midfield and distributing was decent.. but i guess bong was right, i shouldn't get too caught up with the niggly fouls and bickering with them because instead of improving and letting them worry about what i can do with the ball, i'm actually letting them stop myself from having the game of my life.. things i can improve on and will do next week; 1) i should TURN with the ball and get forward more because my forte is passing those final balls and distributing them to the channels, not holding the ball in a sit back position.. 2) SHOOT. my shooting was woeful today. if there was any word that could describe worst than disgusting, that would be it. 3) i should learn to READ THE GAME more. i could've covered for a fullback today while helping out to defend but i didn't. the instinct came but the legs and brain just didn't register. i'm happy with the performances i put it week in week out now. i get shut out from games at times but i need to work around it cus i know i thrive under pressure. at least i'm getting a foot hold of it.. God is faithful. |
