Field Match - HCJC's pride
i have to blog this to remind myself of the stunt that alvin pulled on me.. and also the cab fare he owes me.. on 050806, he was getting pple to play field for his fren timothy's team, then since wj no boots, i told him maybe i n tu' an will play.. and so granted he din really mention that he himself was playing BUT normal pple will assume that he will also go down since it is his fren's team which we dun even know who.. this is depicted in the following conversation when we met his fren's fren cos we were early at the field..
"hi, are you alvin's fren?"
"uhm, no. i m an's fren. you all playing for an?"
"uhm, no, we only know alvin.. his fren i think is timothy"
"uhm, i only know an.. he call me down one.. this is my 2nd time playing for them"
diaoz.. such is the confusion.. anyway i was only informed that alvin wasnt playing 2 hrs b4 the match and he kept asking me to ask Reng to be keeper..but he din mention he not coming down.. when tu'an called me to figure out where west spring sec is(in bukit panjang btw), then i realised that alvin pang sei and still zhong se qing you.. i told him at least he come down cos apparently is his frens and we dun even know anyone.. but he alr promised G tt he would watch movie wif her.. n so we demanded some repayment for cab reimbursement to n fro.. then he still unwilling can call us diva.. n furthermore he only informed en kai to come down 2 hrs before the match..
anyway aside from this fact, he still told his frens that me n tu an were hcjc soccer players, conveniently forgetting to mention the fact that we werent first team and that we damn long nvr play field, hence no fitness.. so there was enormous pressure on us as portrayed by tu'an first exclamation when i went to pick him up "why u wear hcjc jersey!?"
the match started late as we saw the opposite team stream in.. they were bigger size and an indian team.. which meant we were in for a rough time;.. but we held our own cos they only had 10 players.. n slowly we settled into our game.. their lack of one man exposed a lot of space as we had many chances.. a free kick well saved by their keeper and i hit the bar wif a dipping shot as the corner was cleared.. it was soon before they crumbled from another corner as an headed to tuan whose opportunistic left flick of the ball looped into goal.. 1-0 up.. we furthered our lead when our other commando striker had a simple tap in and was played onside by the defender.. we werent much troubled as our middle ball winners played better than the unfit n tiring opposition team..the referee was also pretty fair and spotted all the pushes n fouls by the rough indians.. the 2nd half was better as they were clearly tired and their poor left back jarin was kena scolded by his team and i always go pressure him high up the pitch after identifying him as the weak link such that they cannot move out of midfield.. after tuan missed a very easy one-on-one, we soon took a 3-0 lead wif a corner and a simple free header.. although they managed to pull one back thru some sloppy defending, the match soon ended.. and we hcjc pple had managed to give a good display.. heh..
post-mortem.. actually.. it was also a good social outing.. i guess soccer really can bond guys as it is a common language.. and morale will definitely be higher as we outplayed the 10-men team.. at least we tio pang sei din go there to get thrashed! :)
