opponent placed a fabulous shot from the left flank into the top right corner. GOAL AND THE VIRGIN OF FLOWER MOUNTAIN WON BY THE GOLDEN GOAL RULE!!!


fuck. cant remember all of the actions so can only give a rough outline.

verdict of the match: we missed yuxian badly for the defensive cover. an advise to hornyteam players, do not play soccer in the morning if you have a game in afternoon. congrats to ak and sir seng though for scoring their first goals respectively for hornyteam.

personal performance: had a nervous start and a shitty first half with a few embarrassing miskicks. redeemed myself in the 2nd half, scoring two goals with another two assists. point to improve--need to find a way to settle into the game fast cus other teams might not have the same patience with me as hornyteam. point to be positive--partnership with rich was quite lethal in the 2nd halv.

classic examples of 4-3-3s (to clear some misconception):

chelsea:
----------------drogba/crespo------------------------
duff-------------------------------------------robben
---------lampard----------------essien---------------
-------------------makelele--------------------------
del horno------------------------------------ferreira
-----------gallas-------------terry------------------
---------------------cech----------------------------

barca:
----------------------etoo---------------------------
ronaldinho--------------------------------------giuly
-------------deco-----------------xavi---------------
---------------edmilson/van bommel-------------------
van bonkhorst--------------------------------belletti
-----------marquez-------------puyol-----------------
--------------------valdes---------------------------

basically, a target man, two out and out forward, two attacking mid, one holding mid (most pivotal and difficult to play), two wing backs, two cb and one gk.

a negative example--

england:
----------------------owen---------------------------
joe cole------------------------------------------swp
---------lampard----------------gerrard--------------
--------------------beckham--------------------------
ashley cole-------------------------------------young
-----------ferdinand----------terry------------------
---------------------robinson------------------------

so the moral of the story, choose a dm wisely.

Things to bear in mind tomorrow:

Decisiveness at the back four. Hoof the ball away. Ball-watching ain't fun.
Make meaningful advances with the ball in the middle. Midfielders try to run with ball and keep close control. Don't overdo this.
Communicate.
Make meaningful runs off the ball.
Trust your instincts.
