To be honest, I wasn't really looking forward to this week's game. This week saw the departure of three colleagues which made me rather sad. But thanks to some encouragement from WM, I decided to play my heart out.
After a day of threatening weather, not many people turned up for the game. I ended up on the same team as Maurice, Richard and Alvino while Wee Kiat, Senderos, Chng and Lampard played on the opposite team. By some weird rotation basis, Jeremy would change sides every time a goal is scored.
Now I find myself being really unhappy playing with Alvino. He didn't run much; he pretty stayed upfront the whole time and didn't bother to come down to defend while Maurice and me, the only outfield players (Richard was keeping goal) ran our lungs out running up and down the pitch. And he fumbled so many good chances today. He even missed an open goal from two metres! Even Maurice was complaining at the end of the game while we were sitting down and sweat steaming (there was literally steam from our jerseys and sweat pouring out like no tomorrow).
Though we lost 8-9 in the end, I scored a hat-trick and made two goals for Jeremy so I was pretty pleased with myself. My form is good lately; I have hit 11 goals in the past 3 matches. We have an upcoming 7-a-side game on 25th May, so I will be looking to do well in the tournament. Alvino, of course, must buck up too.
It is a sad week, thank goodness it's over, but let's focus on the task on hand and get ourselves going. Gan batte!
