futsal - 3rd training

Week 4.
16th day in Ngee Ann Poly.
My first taste of sour defeat at the futsal court.

This is actually my second loss.
My first was on Saturday,
but that one was after a 3 game winning streak.
So losing didnt matter.
This time though, we got kicked out on our first match.

The opponents were very formidable.
Commanded from the back by a rock solid defender.
Their last line of defence was the best keeper around.
And yea la the whole team was good.
But im not using that as an excuse.
(though maybe i involuntarily just did)

But anyway, i had a few decent touches on the ball.
The one moment i cant get rid off on my mind
was when i got past one on the right,
thn from out of nowhere
i was taken down by a living bulldozer.
I probably got thrown a feet away,
landed on my knee where a bad cut now lies.
Not a cut la. But that thing u get when ur skin drags
on a rough surface. Forgot wad its called.

At any rate, that wound is now
nothing but a reminder that i'm still not good enough.
Still not fast enough.
Still not intimidating enough.

It was a hard tackle.
Hard yet clean.
(well at least it seemed clean)

With this, i now have lost twice in NP,
out of a total of 16 games so far.
3 draws if i can remember properly.
4 goals for CCA,
4 goals for Sports & Wellness.

This tally can only go up.
It will never remain stagnant.
(excluding the losing part)




PS: To Valerie who has tagged me,
the thingy thing that im supposed to do
is gonna have to wait til at least tomorrow yar.
