I'm on cloud nine =)
Tempest got off to a good start in our first game of the season. Eight goals, four coming from qiao'e, two from soak, one from sue, and one from me. It's an understatement to say I am ecstatic, this is my first goal in div 1 or IVP, finally broke the duck/egg =) I don't know how to judge the standard of our opposition, but our team especially defence triangles held up well, they were composed and hungry and so full of energy I'm kinda ashamed of myself for being so tired =p I had a marvellous first period, had shots on target and made some nice passes, and scored that goal from a direct shot from a superb pass from liyana =) It's a challenge to keep it up in the second and third periods though. It felt so different cos I was tired, didn't run into the places I wanted to, couldn't receive or control the ball properly. It's lack of stamina, coupled with the pressure to keep performing well. And something jill said, to ignore the supporters cos they'll give you pressure. Haha I couldn't help but look, have to be less conscious next time!
Haha and yes ayeen I'm gonna repeat this! Not a bad partnership today, and that freaking last pass could have been dem nice if I hadn't slipped. Your positioning and the timing you call for the ball is very good, let's keep it up! And sheryls I'm really impressed, you really did improve in a few short months and didn't look like someone who pulled a muscle at all. You could still outrun everyone like hell (and earn us scoldings from eddie) and your holding the ball on the move is fwoah so much better now seriously. You're gonna do much better for the rest of the games when you recover, all the best! =D You will score! And I wanna worship Qiao'e, she misses alot of trainings due to work, usually looks quite rusty in them, and yet she did so well today. She's fast and her shots are good, and the most important thing I need to learn from her is her rebounding positioning. And the seniors really impressed me too, they showed their composure and experience yet youthful hunger for the ball. Oh and I cannot forget this, the goalies had an awesome game, on fire and saved our asses on a few occasions.
Let's keep this up =)
Thank you to those who came to support and fill water, we really appreciated it. At dinner we were saying how nice it is to have someone to fill water, if no one fill later 'must ration'.. haha. And those who supported us in their heart, I could feel it, seriously =)
Hahaha I know I sound like we just won some championship, but I can't help it =p We should treat every game like it's the final of 'some championship', isn't it ;)
