Some really bad news. According to jeremy, zi han is injured. He is still going for the match but not playing. I dunno how bad it is but cant play means it is bad. Maybe if desperately need to take some one off then bring him in. I really dunno. Must wait until tue then access his condition. Crap. Where s the physio?
Another piece of uncertain bad news. Lucas might not be going due to CCA commitments. This is not comfirmed and there is still some hope he might go. Why must our new signings all screw up?! Esp lefties. Hiya. oh ya btw if you didnt know striker zi xiang has by now left for malayasia on holiday and will be back on thurs. so he will not be at the mtach on tue. sad news. clinical and the only true striker who can head will force us to change our tactics.
This para might shock some who read this. But it is sort of a new signing. Kevin i think some of you might ald hear before as he played at dempsey once voluntarily joined the team. I m not sure he is the permanent signing as he may just get the jersey and zhao. I dunno again. Even so, he is taking no. 13 jersey. Some info abt him...
Abt 170cm + tall
Quite tan
CCA = swimming
Usual position= striker
Dominant foot= right
after the CCAB training, we went to order jersey for 2 of our new signings- Zi Han and Kevin. If Lucas CMI on Tue, we need kevin due to the shortage of people. But sadly, he is not in the starting XI as there is no position for him to play in because we shld pioritise and let the older members play.
Btw, we hired the referee for the match ald. it s the same one for the fake match last time- kovan's fav ref. Whatever it is, ying lun bargained the price to $50. i dunno whether the opponents will pay but we will just ask the ref to get the money from them. who cares. i think for this match, we just get everyone to pay a standard price. like $5. and every match pay $5. it will be enough to pay for the field and ref. the leftover will be added to the team fund. after maybe 3 or 4 matches, the team fund would be enough to cover the expenditure of 1 match. (not sure you can calculate out yourself) but if you get the idea then if will solve money conflicts.
Like what ying lun said, future trainings will be ideally at CCAB along bukit timah road near botanical gardens. it is also near dempsey. FYI, CCAB stands for co-curricular activities branch
and it used to be old NUS campus. it has many sporting facilities like field, track, street soccer courts, hockey pitch etc. can even hold our matches there as there is a grand stand so that there will be 'amazed' spectators watching 'skills' displyed. but i think it will be more expensive, so see how.
Abt the upcoming match, tue, 8th August, 1pm.After analysing the opponent's squad, i have come up with their most probable formation and line up. their captain, nicholas, told yl the starting XI and as he has posted earlier it is...
Hannan- GK
Satish- RB
Ruzaini- CB
Bo Yang- CB
Rahim- LB
Nige- RM
Hilmi- CM
Jeremy- LM
Rudy- RF
Brandon- LF
Nicholas- ST
there is only one sub we know and it is Nabhan from our class. should be a CM and might play if one of the starting XI dun go. most likely is that they will just last minute say you, and you play there and not fix a formation but if they decide to thrash us then of course they will organise. as you can see, their players fit the most probable formation 4-3-2-1 or known as Christmas Tree. this is threatening to the CBs as it will penetrate the centre of the park through passing and skillful movement. they have skills but no team work so we have a bit of advantage. as a result, i think adding at least one CDM would help the CBs. Ying Lun is playing keeper on that day, Jun Jie play the CDM. i dun think it might be very suitable to post formations here but i think 4-1-3-1-1 is the best that fits our XI. if it screws up when Lucas cmi then 3-2-2-2-1 is second best compared to 3-1-3-2-1. what ever it is, on tue be there early then we will announce that plans. chien ming will be there to tell you how to counter their moves. he knows best.
to prevent last minute preparation, i can slightly analyse what i know here...
GK-
Hannan- Not the best, but still cut out to be a GK comfirm beatable.
RB-
Satish- Slow, big size, but lot s of power in kicks. might even score from halfway line. yl watch out!
CB-
Ruzaini- Probably the most aggresive and rough player on the field. slide and push like no body's business. 80% will get a booking. our strikers watch out!
CB-
Bo Yang- Skillful, strong in the air. Not the natural CB but an overall good player
LB-
Rahim- not the agressive player but good with both feet. disadvantage with height. might not go for the match at all.
CM-
Hilmi- Creative and skillful. Calm and composed.
RF-
Rudy-Arguably the best player in SJI. Hardly anyone can get the ball off him. Most likely gotta get some one to man mark him dun even let him touch the ball.
LF-
Brandon- Another nut case. No look passes, skillful turning, tricks, oles, feints etc. Just so good on the ball. But can get it off him if concentrate and predict his move or do it the hard way.
ST-
Nicholas- Dribbling not so good. but shots are out of this world. his right foot is every goal keeper's night mare. His power packed shots can blast someone off his line. I experienced that before. ouch. can shoot with left foot but lack power. just have to not let him have a clear shot on goal and we will have him settled.
i left abt 3 players out cuz i did not see them play before and cannot analyse. chien ming will tell you in detail on tue.
thats all for now. be prepared facing some real pros.
