Today started with a cultural morning, we have a nice breakfast in South Yarra,after that we had a cup of coffee at a cafe called St Ali. What a relaxing day.
I was spending time to write another article which I suppose to post on this BLOG, unfortunately I can't finish it, hopefully I can post it soon.
Due to excess cooking ingredients in the fridge, I volunteered to be the chef for tonight again. I plan to cook two main dishes; A1 curry with Oyster Blade, Carrot and Potato, Stir fry mince meat with beans. I was too ambitious to cook two dishes together and it was kind of fail. The curry was diluted by the carrot and potato, which is not suppose to have, according to the cooking method on the pack. Anyway, my dear housemates still enjoyed the meal, that's good.
As usual, soccer match is on tonight and we had two games tonight. The first one was a "league game" another one was a friendly. Our opposition was 'ITALY' team at the first game, whom play with us for couple of times, and we never lose to them. We performed normally, no big mistakes, solid den fence and scored early. 2 -0 at half time.We kept attack and I scored 2 goals at second half, finally, the result 5 -0 , and we won. GG (Good Game) guys! We need a winning match to stop the continue losing for last two games.
For the second game, I was really enjoy it, as the opposition is stronger and we just lost to them last two week. A revenge game! Maybe only me to think about that. They have one good player who scored 3 in the last game with us. Let's call him "No. 9", I don't want to lose again and I took extra focus on him in this game, kept stay with him when he pass the middle line, even he passed the ball, we call it 'Man Mark' in soccer terminology, and it works!! I am happy that I can stop him and have a clean sheet for the first half, 0 - 0.
We kicked off for 2nd half, Chris J and I did a tactic on it; I asked him to stay at my right, getting ready to run and shoot. He got the ball, dribble pass the defender, kept running towards the right side line and shoot just before it out, that's it. It was a great goal. I was really excited that our plan works. It gave our opposition a surprise. We did it quite a lot of times. He is a fantastic player in our team, I really enjoy to play with him. It was neck and neck game for another 10 mins, I kept my position well, I didn't go to the front and stay back, we got few chances but didn't get a second goal. Sadly, we lost a goal. Without Chris, our attack really depend on J and A only, I can't help as I had to defend 'No. 9'. I got two chances and I shoot on target, it just nearly to be a goal. After some rest, Chris and I in the court again, I bet on few attack, running up to forward, pass to A, but he can't score any more. I guessed he was tried and kept standing very far from us, which made us very hard to pass the ball to him. Chris also tried as he didn't play soccer for few weeks, he never rest more than 3 times in a game unless we have 8 players. At the meanwhile,they got a second goal and "No.9" caught our goalkeeper mistake by pressuring, changed the score to 1-3. At the last min of game, I scored another goal as a comforter, I pressured on their GK and tipped in the ball, setting the score to 2-3. Finally the whistle was sound and the game finish.
That's the end of today.
