Devastated
Incredible scoreline, 0-5.
We had home advantage.
We were tactical.
We were expected to at least score 1 goal.
All these, useless.
Because of :
Nervousness
Low morale
No team spirit
No tolerace
No patience
Major mistakes we made. Ranked according to how serious it is. No offence, please.
1st. Goal Kicks. Me, Ming, Jun Jie. Useless at goal kicks. Our goal kicks can't even penetrate their 1st line of defence, their strikers. Worst still, Ming, low ball goal kick. Even if we had kicked so soft and cover little distance, MIDFIELDERS, don't just leave a big gap and stand at attacking positions. Please go back to your positions and receive it. for the WHOLE of the 2nd half, all our goal kicks landed in the opponent's legs. Dropkicks are ok. We just lost possession like that, so simple.
2nd. High balls. Defenders. 1 interesting phenomenon that i always see happening to every of our team members. When the opponent pass/clear/dropkick, a high ball. Then, you think you are in the PERFECT position to collect it. BUT, you don't dare to head it 1st time, as the impact will cause pain to your head. So, you don even move back, and let the ball bounce over you. Amazing.
3th. Tackles. Defenders. Do not charge for it. Tricky opponents are always your worst nightmare, but they actually ain't that bad. You just got to stick with him, but retreat instead of committing. If you charge at them, the just do a simple trick and get pass you, YOU ARE BEATEN. But full backs, don retreat until the goalpost, and try to block their shots instead of getting the ball, i think that should work.
4th. Mentality and Morale. ALL. Kovan and Jeremy was right. We went into the match with a 'sure lose' mentality. That greatly affects your performance. Look at me, i cannot decide whether to pass or to dribble. I was just too scared of the opponent, and it applies to some other people. Letting in a goal lowerers the team morale. But try to think it as its still 0-0.
5th. CLEARANCE. ALL. i must stress on this. Do not take your time to clear. Please, and do not (ever) drible near the box. ITS DANGEROUS. Ming, was taking forever to clear. Even if we cleared it, it always always always gets to the opponent. Plus, clearance out of the box TOWARDS the opponent's goal post should be high. If under pressure, you should just kick out for a throw in, or worst if no choice, corner. DON HESITATE TO CLEAR.
Everyone makes mistakes. And nobody is perfect.
I not saying i didn't make any, in fact i made tons of mistakes.
So, don't think that i am trying to act pro by typing all the mistakes.
And one more thing, feel free to blog our own view of the match on 8/8.
AND! Forget what i said after the match, it was totally crazy, it just came out from my mouth and it seemed inevitable.
I need to go for counselling. Thats for sure.
DON BE DEMORALISED! AT LEAST WE ATTACKED!!!
