startinggg

ok. today's game against bedok kings, the former src.


it was the first game that i am in the starting for Blacks.
when we did unit skills, the backline really wanted it.
i know i really wanted it. and to be honest, i've never felt so focused for a contact game before.


during game, there were too many situations where by we're outnumbered on the outside.
the first nonsense i did on the field is when the opposition tried to kick the ball out, i wanted to keep the ball in so i hit it in. totally forgetting the existence of a knock-on rule (hitting the ball infront), i just had to hit the ball infront. how smart. looking back, i could have actually just catch the ball ya.
i just know that for some reason, i missed 80% of my tackles. the major breaking one was when the angmoh broke through. i chased like mad and managed to touch her jersey. i tried to leap and pounce on her having that leopard-ish imagery in my head to motivate me to go tt extra mile which might just make the difference. but when i did just that, she just ran off. felt like i've missed my prey. i regretted that. maybe i should have just pulled her jersey or smth.
UGH. felt like shit literally.


everyone was trying hard la.
but for some reason, the backline was really struggling to get that line speed.
ugh.




after the game, it was probably the first game the Blacks actually lost.
just a deep wave of sigh all around.




SIGH.
