my full time debut?
last week, i was part of the NIE team dat lost to Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) team on our debut match for the tournament. i only got to play the last 5 mins of the game... by then the score was already 1-4. so i believe dat if i were to be given the chance to play from the first second, i would give my best for the team, n see if i can contribute significantly to the team. Prof Tay would definitely play the left back position, so im hoping to be able to get the left midfield role... dat's been my fav spot in street soccer. but dis time, it'll be different, as the field is far bigger in size than court, therefore frequent sprints will definitely not be in my favour. i'd try to learn to manage my runs n see how it will affect my stamina. ive been doing regular runs at home on certain early mornings, and was impressed to see dat i could run non-stop for about 2.4km in about 13 mins. it may look like im taking a long time to complete such a distance, but at my age and my physical condition, i think its an achievement dat will gradually improve wif time.
cant wait to play soccer. the game has always been a venue for me to channel my angst n frustration and unreleased energy to good use. i dont possess impressive skills like dat of ronaldo or giggs, but i have the pace to beat opponents provided i time my runs properly. may Allah help me perform well this evening...
