Things did not started out well for the songbo as early as 4 am. With only 11 players to take to the field against our opponents in 5 hours time, Rujia send out an SOS sms for the unwell Huiquan.

Still Huiquan who looks ok to me still came and offer his 15 min of services if needed. With no alternatives left, we decided to turn to yanshou for help who came dashing into the field 15 min into the game.

Still our captain decided to take to the field with only 10 players while waiting for our 11 player to arrive. With a morale boosting talk before the game, 110% percent effort is required from each and ever one of us to make up for the short fall of 1 players.

With the match underway, both teams started out very cautiously, trying to see the weakness and strength. Within 2 min into the game, songbo earns a throw-in on our right flank. Kelvin threw it to rujia at the edge of the penalty box who flick on the ball to a no mans area.

With the instinct of a natural poacher, sybian was the first to react to the ball. With a world class finishing that would even put torres to shame, the ball ended in the net. GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1-0 TO SONG BO!!!!! One would find it strange as in why never was sybian put in a more attacking position to grab more goals for songbo.

Yanshou arrive shortly after that great goal by sybian. He jumped into action like a hungry tiger looking for fresh meat. However, it turns out to be what songbo detest …… COMPLANCY & LAID BACK. With a 1-0 lead and 11 vs 11, song bo decide to switch off their engine and let the opponents do what ever they want on the field.

Chances for songbo were place on the platter for us to increase the score line but they went begging. Jeremy with his new Luminous nike vapour ($299) was trying to be like a combine of torres and ronaldo… being fancy and place the ball anywhere but the net.

2nd half were no better but our defense manage to hold on to their task of keeping the opponents at bay. Huiquan eventually came on for Kenny who was exhausted towards the last 10 min of the game. Though he see little of the ball but manage to summon every ounce of his energy to defense our 1 goal lead score line. The final whistle goes off and so that ended songbo 5 game winless drought. Now we are surely back on track to pose more threat to other team.

1 main things that were brought up during the debrief was to do a warm down run of 3-5 rounds around the field. Partially to warm down and also for the GK and those with a big stomach to do some toning and most importantly be able to last long during the match in terms of concentration and stamina.

Last but not least hope sybian can get to be more in a attacking position as his goal average is about 1 goal per game. So the strikers better be on their guard…………
