What Goes Up, Must Come Down

yesh. i was finally defeated for the first time. My unofficial soccer team that is. The Al-Function team.

Final score on the scoreboard:
AL-FUNCTION - 0 OPPONENT - 5

Well, what went wrong with us was that we lost to them by a number of attributes.

Firstly, they were mostly poly students and of cause we lost to their heights. They kept delivering pin-point crosses from both flanks in the first half, and we defended miserably. 3 goals conceded in the first half.

secondly, we were simply not confident enough in front of their goal. In the second half, we were able to control the game after we changed our formation from 4-4-2 to 3-5-2. However, we still concede 2 goals and did not hit them on the break. Just lacking in confidence. We had at least 3 chances that are so obvious that we can scored, but somehow, the ball cannot crossed the goalline.

Lastly, we were still lacking in technical skills compared to them. They were more fluent and swift in making through passes, square passes, back passes etc. Our strategy; use the flanks to counter them. succeed but failed in getting the goals.

Ok, here's how the Al-function team fair just now..

Yang Xi(Goalkeeper)- His first debut for the team. Good shot-stopper but lack long range shot awareness. 6.5/10

Hafiz Y. (Centre back)- First half made crucial mistakes. 2nd half improved and good in air. 7/10

M.Khairul( Centre back)- Hardworking lad. Made some crucial interceptions 7.5/10

Kamarul, m. khairul's brother( Centre back)- Another key figure in defence 7.5/10

Rashid( Right Back) Ambitious and determined, but forget about his defensive duty. 6/10

Me( Right/Left Midfielder)- somebody please rate me. haha.

Faris MI (Centre Mid)- Agile but tire near to the end of the game. 6.5/10

Syafiq(Striker)- Lost in no man's land and doesn't use his body to the fullest. haha. Making lots of his trademark move. When given a long ball behind him, he would make a 360' turn, a big U-turn, before running towards the ball. He called it ' Turn WORLD' with the finger motion like Mawi. WORLD! Rating 6/10. haha. kurang asam betul aku. tulis panjang2 tapi rating paling sikit.

Amin(Striker)- Harworking and Industrious, but lack finishing touch. 6.5/10

The other three players who played for us were Rashid's friend, so im not going to rate them since they were not officially part of the Al-Function team. Anyway, credit to them for playing quite well for the team.

That's all guys.. Adios. and yes, Merry Christmas everybody!
