I am so passionate about football to a fault. I do not only watch it on TV and for all its entertainment value I am a fierce player for that same reason.
Last night we witnessed one of the best training sessions for sometime on our customary Holy Moses Training session pitting Team A (my team) and Team B at our Lady wood grounds.
Inspiration was borne out the Arsenal – Liverpool debacle 2 days before. On this day I put myself in front for the role of captain for the night and adopted a 4-2-1-3 formation [it was simple we were going to use our wingers to great effect].
We got the Team B ragged within the first 30 mins of the game with a score of 4-0 to the good.
However, with some “Dodgy” referee moments in the words of Arsenal Wenger we found ourselves down by one goal (4 -1).
As the game ensured our tactics began to suffer as our moral and composure were broken by refereeing decisions and some cardinal faults from our Master Tactician (me).. no kidding. However, we still kept the faith and work ever so hard.
Within the last 20-30 mins of the session we could not behold the comeback of this team B. They scored 3 goals in a flash and BOY it was neither pretty nor funny. I could not bear to watch our well-planned and half-effected strategy going the drains.
Temperatures were high; the atmosphere was fanatic and time wasting was screamed upon us by the opposing team. In the heat of all these mayhem we stood our ground and held on to a less proud 4-4 draw. WOW, it was incredible.
Overall, I will hold my players in high regards as this was the first time we have employed these particular tactics in our games. Good one guys and have mercy on any of my demeanours of the night….we will do even Better next WEEK.
