A Talk with Boonie!

For today's interview, I have set down with one of our blogger, BoonWee to talk about the team. Having since joined the team since our Blue jersey era (3rd Gen) he has always be committed to Goat cause no matter is it playing at his best in games or ferrying players around for our soccer games! Lets hear what he have to say!

Me: HI Boonie! how are u today?

Boon: Hi, getting fat each day when there's no soccer


Me:  Bobian leh, can't have soccer on weekdays due to work commitments right? Rumours are in that u are soucing for a new boots! Mind sharing with us what kind of boots are you looking for? Or have u already chosen one?


Boon: I am a big fan of Adidas, but a bigger fan of myself. I believe that it's the player that brings the boots to new height, HAHA but stitched boots are definitely better, in terms of durability. the "glued" type will wear and tear too fast once there's a hole.


Me:  There's a note for all people buying boots out there! Right now according to the team list you are one of the players who are able to play in a lot of different position (versatile) . Do u have a place in mind where u would like to play? Or u think u will be best excel at?


Boon:  Actually, I still prefer to play as a striker. But as age and work catches up, I am beginning to lose that match fitness (which is the most fundamental attribute to a player). Maybe in due time, I will start to sit out and be on a coaching role. I hope that does not stands in any other committee members' interest!


Me: Haha i believe not! And i do think that for social level u are still capable of playing outfield than being handed a coaching role! With the new season starting soon, who do u think will be the next star for Team Goat?


Boon:  I believe that no team can ever thrive on with a single player, but I believe our young players like Kiong and Khalid, and even our semi-young midfield general Kahwoon, has seen remarkable improvements during the second half of the season. The strength in GOAT lies in our diversity and depth in our team


Me: Since we are talking about Strength, I would like to ask where do you think our weakness is?


Boon: On where our team can improve, that will be on match fitness and attitude. Technically and tactically, we are pretty much okay. I recall TJC times, where we ran maybe 5km 2 times a week coupled with speed endurance training. That was when I played the best, really. After that, it was all downhill.


If you dont get what I'm trying to say, picture this: You ran after the opponent for the ball, make a splendid tackle on him, and gets the ball, runs down the flank past another 2 defenders, and then deliver a cross to nowhere.


HAHA, this is the epic example of match fitness. when you don't have match fitness, you lose focus. 


And also with the potentially overcrowded wings and strike force, I am excited to uncover our next midfield star. Perhaps we might be able to find a more dominant midfield player to complement the aerial powess of Kahwoon and the delicate footwork of Thaddeus.


Me: U personally voted for Espzen, may i know why u made that choice and how it could help the team?


Boon: I voted for Espzen, in a leap of good faith that the management would be more capable than that at D2D. In D2D, the management allows teams to postpone their matches at free will which really makes the league rather inconsistent. (some edits done)


Me: Last question like i ask everyone that i have interviewed so far, which div should be at and why? (total 5 div) 


Boon:  It will be good to start from the middle. But anywhere, come 5 years time, we will be at the top.


Me: Naise i hope dont need 5years maybe 1 will do? haha! thanks for ur time!


Kambeng!
