Home league match played on 02 June 2011.
Kicked off at 12:00 AM
I was given the chance to "inspire" the team before this match.
but i didnt reali hv to say much since GF is doing well recently, especiali that night with lots of quality players showing up.
so we just needa do what we usually do, i.e. Barcelona style. (apologies to those Madrid's fans if theres any in our team, but i dun think we hv followers of such lame team playing ugly footies)
1st Half:
Jul (GK)
Getz Garrow
Alessio Justin Vince
Cedric
we started the 1st half with some simple passes to keep 70% possessions in the 1st 15 mins. tho not many impressive shots we hv made, we tried to find out their weakest link. but turned out more like adults playing against kids......i think they just started learning to play footy a month ago or so. most of the time they cud just stand still n watch our passes n shots. so after 15 mins, manager Dave asked me n Howard to give them a lesson of fancy footy.
Jul (GK)
Getz Garrow
Vince Howard Leo
Justin
after the subs, more 1-2 and 1 touch involved, creating more space n chances. possessions went up to 80%, n the best they cud do was just to kick the ball upfront way bk frm their box, hoping for miracles. but of coz, luck wasnt with them that night, at least i would say them amatuers were damn unlucky to play against us pro. their poor loner striker couldnt do nothing with our Gettz Puyol giving him ultra hardcore pressure. but sadly, we missed lotsa chances n end up goaless before half-time.
during half time break, i actually prepared a great speech to inspire the team, but Dave thot i didnt do the job well before the match and decided to do all those talkings himself......u owe me 1 Dave.
2nd Half:
Jul (GK)
Alessio Getz
Howard Dave Leo
Cedric
Zizou bk to action, lotsa great teamwork n footwork as usual of coz. but as i said, our finishings werent quite well that night. so after a while, an interception by Alessio, yea the one who was playing as defender at that moment, at around 6 yards beyond the midfield line, holding the ball and thought, "u guys couldnt score after all those fancy football, fuck it, let me show you guys my Italian way of footy!" so he decided to start dribbling from that position, after around 12 yards of running, ignoring all the screamings from his "unreliable" teammates for pass, he made a shot. and for some reason, the mild shot which looked quite like a cross to me end up to b a goal......so he proved his point, Italian way works. so how much Ales paid to bribe the oppoents goalie this time?! no comment.
after down by 1 goal, they decided to play even slower. no pressure to us at all but yelling to the ref. even ordering him to go get the game ball bk everytime we kicked it over the fences. i reali hv to say, this team was 1 of the most weird team i hv ever played with. even better, their best player pass the ball to howard, who stood 6 yards in front of him IN THEIR BOX. n howard passed to zizou who just did the simplest thing n turned tat into our 2nd goal, piece of cake. final subs: Belgium for me, Justin for Ced,
n we kept that until the final whistle was blown.
their best player envied Julz' cud keep his jersey all dry after the game since he didnt reali do anything in the whole game (no shot frm them in 70mins).
he decided to shoot at him when Julz was walking bk to the bench. but he didnt know that shot wouldnt count in the game stat.
so the game stats: GF Formica
goals 2 0
shots 32 0
passes completed 226 17
possessions 90% 10%
yellow cards 1 (Vince) 0
red cards nil nil
thanks for reading.
Leo.
