the urge to be stronger. much stronger.

im sure u guys have watch bleach and naruto. when kurosaki ichigo and naruto keep training non stop wishing to become stronger. somehow somewhat, im feeling that way now. especially returning from warwick today for the competition. after missing so many trainings it was really tough on me today, in terms of fitness, skill and power. but i think overall is not bad.

we started off well playing against University of Bath, we played really well. the final score was 4-0 and i scored the 1st goal :). and that was my first and only goal in the entire warwick game. i thought we could be better in terms of offense, defense, communication, passing and almost everything. second half was pretty chaotic, but i think we won is not because we were damn good? but it's just because the other team is prepared enough.

next game was against Warwick University Team A - our predicted stronger opponent by far according to our grouping. It was terrible, seriously terrible. we got trashed 5-0. communication was bad, passing was shitty and defense wasnt there. most important of all, i have not enough energy to fight for the ball/goal. my fitness suck terribly.

the game was against Warwick B which we think would be an easy sweep for us. but we were TOO COMPLACENT. i dont know how, i dont know why. the final score was 2-2. can u believe it? i dont actually, but i think we over confident. so till then we had 1 win, 1 loss and 1 ridiculous draw. after that the judgement depends on the game between warwick B and Bath since Bath can never win Warwick A. so if bath wins or draw with B, we will be at least in the top 4 position. unexpectedly, Bath won warwick B 4-0. which make us really speechless after drawing 2-2 against Warwick B.

so then was when we start to panic. we will be going to play against Nottingham which won all the games which means that they were first in their group and likely to be the champs. and Warwick B would play against Southampton which is almost on par with Nottingham. from observation, experiences and prediction, we know that we will not win nottingham in any sense, and warwick A will never win southampton. so this means we will meet warwick A again in the 3rd/4th placing match.

as predicted, we lost to nottingham, but i thought that was the best game played so far. we had awesome defense and the final score was 7-2. not that bad after all, since the other games that nottingham played was like 10/11-0. and i survived a marvelous handroll :). the next games was against warwick game again. i knew we had chance to beat them since we played so well against nottingham. but to no avail, we lost. 4-0 was the final score. so in the end we got 4th overall in the entire warwick game. not that bad after all, considering that we got last in the previous season =/. by the way, in the finals, southampton won nottingham and they got the championship. oh well, life is unpredictable.

okay back to the mainline, to be stronger. 1 more month to BUSA (which stands for British Union Student Association i think) which is the nationals equivalent. i'll be playing for the 1st team. which means im likely to meet even stronger opponents. and that really makes me wan to become much much stronger. so i'll train hard the next few trainings. but now, back to my school work. =/.
