Today we won the Henry Fok Cup semi-final match Vs Ricci. It is a soccer tournament in HKU (this year every team has to include at least 4 freshmen players). Although this is not a very important tournament for us (as compared with next year Malayan Cup, we jsut regard the tournament as warm-up friendly) , today's victory rpresents real improvement in our team.
We control the whole match and score 1 in the early second half. Afterwards, we have several chances but can't grasp them tightly. In the last few minutes we have several substitutions because of injury and strategic reasons. Unfortunately we lost a penalty kick at the last few minutes (oh, what a familiar script for me). Ricci scores and the game ties. I enter the pitch at this moment, preparing to kick the penalty kick after the game (there is no extra-time fro the match). Finally, we won the penalty kick by 7-6, a rare victory for U Hall soccer team in penalty kick.
There are a few comments on the performance of u guys:
1. Lo the goalkepper: u show great talent in ur hands but u have to improve ur foot work a bit, u also have to practice how to deal with one-on-one shoot.
2. Kit the right back: u also show improvement than last match; yet ur stamina and body balance is still ur weaknesses (and the weaknesses of our defence line)
3. Barton the left back: I think u can be my successor. Keep on improving! What u need is time and exp.
4. Ghost the center back: u are not in good condition today, but it is obvious u are the strongest defender in our team.
5. Pak Yu the sweeper: u have a good grasp on the concept of a sweeper, but u need to improve urself physically (in terms of speed and body balance)
6. Little Horse the left midfielder: u have improved a lot in skills and stamina, really. Yet u can show more leadership as a teamcap on field.
7. Sam the right midfielder: U are God! U are God!Plz stop disturbing me when I am writting this report!
U are the most aggresive player in our team, may be the only thing u have to improve is to cooperate better with the right back.
8. Power the middle middle: U are the most Pokjin player in our team and ur spirit can encourage other players very much. U are very good at basic skills but may be u should try to become stronger in every aspects and ur goal is to CONTROL the midfield. One more advise, try to change sides for us, plz!
9. Sibay the attacking midfielder: good play in the first half and Ah Yan, the strongest Ricci player, even claims that u have the shadow of Poon Chun YU! But obviously, u only have stamina for half time, this will hinder ur development as the strongest attacker in HKU. Work hard in U team trainning plz, don't fail my expectation on u.
10.Bun the forward: even u can't score, u are one of the best players in today's match. U keep on running in the front and blocking their defenders' pass. With ur existence we can hold the ball and contain the match. Nevertheless, obviously, u have to practice hard in shooting. U can do more than u can do now.
11. Ray the forward: U are still the strongest header in our team, and I appreciate greatly that u begin to show a kind of leadership at the evaluation after the match. Yet, similar to Bun, U have to improve ur basic skill, especially ur skill in holding the ball. It seems u cannot show ur strngth if u hold the ball and start an attack urself (for eg on an 1-on-1 basis).
12. Pang the substitute: u are a potential player and ur style is a bit similar to mine when I was year 1. U have to increase ur match exp and more importantly, ur linkage with other teammates. Giving me a face, plz stay in this team. I think u can help us and we can help u to achieve what we (and u) want.
13. Ping the substitue: U shot the single goal for us in this match. I think u have also improved a lot when compared with year 1. Yet, may be u should think more abt what u can do for the team as a whole. As a player, i have nothing more to teach u already.
14. Ko Chun: although u missed ur penalty kick today, i still think u are the most stable one in shooting PK. Plz keep ur confidence in real game (u are very gd at friendly or mini-game). Of course, as I said before, u have to improve ur body a lot to meet the requirements of a 70 minutes match.
15. Chris the substitute: May be i should say sorry to u becoz u should play the last few minutes of the game. I think ur strength is speed but u should improve a lot in other aspects in the first place.
16. Bra the injury: ur only contribution is to shout at the side today. I can say nth to u. A few comments on recent matches: u have been matured a lot recently but still not matured enough. U should gain more exp and learn more concepts abt defence in future.
17. Hoi Sang the injury: U are also potential in defence, but may be u should not be too shy on the pitch. Shout more.
18.BallTong the physical coach: u are late today, so we have to warm up ourselves. As a result, we warm up very 9-ly.
19. Koala the substitute: keep on practising. U are one of our funniest team players.U are so cool in the photo.
Overally speaking, we do improve and play a 'form' today. Yet, to be the champion, u know, there is a long way to go. Our goal is to become the strongest team in HKU (even stronger than WL,)Remember the insult this year?
Guys, help me to recapture my champion!
I just receive the team photo today from Power. WE are so happy and united as a TEAM. I will remember this moment. Finally, i realize it is really the time for me to leave. Yet, I can leave without any worry. U guys play very good football today even without me. That's great.
?lt;/P>
