At 1pm yesterday, Yiwen called over,
Yiwen: "eh opp walkover, we win."
Jeff: "Wa Fuck! than what no game a?" (c i concern about the game, who wan free wins! LOL!)
Yiwen: " No lah got friendly game against Orchid Park."
Jeff: "Wa SWEE!!! i play outfield!"
This was the conversation i had with our dear Manager when he called me to inform me about the walkover. A long awaited friendly is all i had in my mind. Why? Dont u guys feel that we have too much competitive game and its time where we should go into the field and have a relax game of football? YES! and the day had come for us to laugh at each other mistakes instead of blaming and telling each other to do better! No tension was involved, no agony misses screaming by everyone! Just a group of football enthusiasts playing their favorite sport.
Like what Lap have said, everyone did enjoyed the day and definitely i enjoyed mine! 2 goals (although 3 would be freaking whole lot better!!) from me have really made my day! I definitely believed that after this friendly game we will be able to go into our next game with more determination as we have lighten up the mood and besides winning the friendly, we also have won our competitive game with a walkover! Opp have too much to drink on xmas eve? who cares? To me is the 3pts that count although we will still be on the bottom half of the table but we are catching up! its no longer a dream to dream big now! If we believe we can make it back to top 2 i'm sure we can! look at our squad! Even a goalkeeper can score i'm sure u guys can as well! I shall be the bench mark for you guys! LOL
Now to the game,
Team Goat 3 - 1 Orchid Park
Goals: Yiwen, Jeff X2
Assist: Kiong X2 , Sean
Game started with opp having only 10 players on the field and as usual Team Goat attacked strongly towards opp goal! After a couple wave or attack by GOAT the deadlock was soon broken with a goal by Yiwen when he cut in from left blank to pull a shot. Not to forget it was Kiong's brilliant lob ball over the opp defence to create the chance for our no. 11
Blah blah blah..... Soon it was 40mins when Goat was handed a goalkick, Like everyone in the team know our dear captain was the keeper for the day and with little much to do in the game he decided to challenge himself to take a goalkick! It wasn't the best he took and the ball was deflected to Jeffrey. Unable to clear the ball, Jeffrey let the opp took the ball away from his feet and a shot was pulled straight to Jackson but the ball seems to be to slippery and fast for our dear captain and it fumbled into the net. A soft soft goal indeed! (without the goal it would be 3-0 baby!)
Into the 2nd half around 55mins, Kiong was brought down just outside the box by a hard tackle from the back. The usual suspect was around the ball quickly but Jeff (YES ME!) was determined to take the free-kick. Referee asked if he wanted the wall but he refuses and immediately took a quick free-kick. With the keeper at the far left post 'building' his wall the ball went to the right! 2-1!
Going late into the 2nd half at approximately 70mins, Team Goat was pushing the ball forward and knowing my time is up soon it was now or never to score the 2nd goal (to let me stay on the field to try for my hat-trick) and it did came! With a scramble in the box the ball was dropped onto my foot by a pass from Sean and i quickly toe-poke it away! 3-1!!! and a drogba style celebration was on the way LOL!
The game ended 3-1 but it could be much more with yiwen missing quite an amount of chances and me who was kept being blown offside which many have fight for me saying i was onside! Which is true there was like 6 offsides! at least 1 should be on right? LOL!
Special acknowledge to KengYang who was brilliant today by controlling the midfield, who string the Team together also he was the one who made a good counter-attack with Jeffrey by making at 2-3times 1-2 passes with Jeffrey to bring the ball up. Like Barcelona was the comment on the bench!
Also to Kahwoon whose god-like heading skill is still indeed god-like! he was ever so important to GOAT today by clearing ball in the box when opp is having their corner! Also by clearing up the mess in DM with his speed and determination to get the ball away!
(BRO u play everywhere also good we hard to choose where to put u leh! LOL!)
But it doesn't matter, what matter was that we won both competitively and the friendly game! And we also enjoyed our Christmas and i hope we will be able to enjoy the weeks to come!
It is a joy to be able to play with u guys and i hope we will have many many many more years to come alrite? Merry Xmas my brothers!
FYI - All the goals, assist and MOTM today will not be reflected on the blog as it is not official! But i will say it i self-nominate myself as MOTM!!! LALALALALALALALALALA!!!!
Kambeng!
Jeff
