Lesson Learnt!

Team Goat 1 Eclectico1

(WeiMing)

Today's game was the 'Offical' game against Eclectico FC. We brought more or less the same men who played the unoffical game with them but it was them who brought changes to their team. Most notably was their no.7, the 2 new centre backs and the very chiongster no.14.

From my point of view, i feel that we were outplayed in the whole field. Our attackers hardly had chance to get hold of the ball, the midfield is being played by their no.7 and 14 combined. Lastly our defence is having a hard time dealing with their winger and striker.

But it is in these type of situation where we will be able to grow and learn from our mistakes. 1 thing we have learnt that it is not feasible to keep pumping the ball up trying to get pass their defence (as they are freakishly tall and it was my fault for the decision to play this style). Somehow like what you guys have said, we are lacking the passing and movement in our team and we should really get it fix! Being a young team is no longer an excuse, i promise to work with the comms even harder to make this 'connection' work!

I wont talk much about the game just only the goal that WeiMing have delivered. It was on a counter attack that made it happened. With 4 goatees still in the opp half a counter attacked was launched down the left flank. JC brought the ball down the flank and put in a beautiful cross into the 6-yard box. Going over 2 Goat members, WeiMing was at the back post waiting to pounce on the ball. His head met the oncoming ball and the opp goalkeeper was left help-less in between the sticks.

We should still have 1 or maybe 2 friendly game before the start of the league. Lets try and get a win before our season start alright! And guys remember, we are still on a 12 games unbeaten run! Let's carry it on!

Kambeng!
