hows life nowadays? up and down i guess these 3 words sum it all past few trainings went by pretty smoothly i think im slowly bonding with my new soccer mates was selected for the "first team" the team that the coach picked i guess im still in a dilemma about which position to play though i cant play an out-and-out striker to chase long balls cos i dont have the bursting speed so i chose to play supporting striker and it worked quite well got a long range goal with 2 assists and 2 tap-in goals today was the 2nd day of inter-faculty soccer created by the coach to scout for talent since we only had 20 players in the team ATM. wednesday was the first round my team drew 0-0 we created lots of chances. got a few praises from the coach which i didnt know was gd or bad i usually hate praises as it makes me complacent then came today first match we played against the strongest team of our group and we held on for another 0-0 draw this was understandable but the 2nd match was horrible for me i played at left wing my usual position for furnix. i had 2 1on1 chances but i missed both; with my left foot. after the match questions were sent to my mind, i started to doubt my ability to shoot from the left true i could penetrate their defence but my finishing with left foot just cant make it. at half time coach was shouting at me to take my chances gt a scolding from him aft the match. sigh hes known for his criticism of players isnt he? 3 straight draws. slim hope of qualification must win the next and hope the 2nd placed team loses anyway this competition doesnt matter much to me but to malcolm it meant alot feel sorry for him he didnt have a very good day just like me but his was much worse wont say what happened but it wont be nice on the pitch
