Today was great. We were released at 9 because of the excellent 'o' level results that the secondary 4 of 2007 reaped up. Everyone was completely ecstatic. Not for those who had mothertongue for their first lesson though. I have a nepalese friend in my class who was upset. He grumbled that it was a waste of time that he went to school cause he did not have to study at all.
But his spirit lifted when our soccer coach announced that soccer training had been made earlier till 10.30. I too was waiting for the moment for training to start. Though the weather was damn hot, the training was fun though. I used most of the training time to practice kicking with my left foot. I have to admit that it was getting worst and worst during the past few weeks. But i managed to gain back my usual accuracy and spin during that one training.
There was another thing that i was waiting for. The announcement of the B division soccer squad. I couldn't wait to know who will be in the team. I was praying that i will be able to make the squad.
But greatly to my disappointment, my coach had not made the decision whether i will be able to included in the squad or not. I was mortified. I had waited so anxiously, but i still did not know whether i made the squad. My coach said that he will let me and some others know whether we made the squad or not during the weekend or during the next training that is on Monday.
Right now, i am absolutely terrified that i will not make the team. I worked hard and tried to go to every training. I will only miss training for 3 reasons, that my parents won't allow me, i am sick or i am injured. I did not go for the December holidays training for my knee was injured. It is still injured but the pain had subsided. I trained my left leg so that i can be more useful cause i can play in other positions and would not be hesitant in using my left leg.
About the match against Ping Yi on Thursday. We had a hard time in the first half, only managing to score a solitary goal. But in the second half, we managed to score two more goals, one from a brilliantly taken shot from our stopper. I wanted to take a shot, and went for many overlaps to achieve it. But every single time i overlapped, no one would give me the god damned ball. I was wasting my energy during the useless bursts of speed while overlapping. And i still had to sprint back if the ball ended up in the possession of the opponent. I played for only half an hour, but i was already panting, plus the wound that i received a week ago had reopened from another slide i made. The opposition was hard to break down. All their players can really pump the ball and throw the ball damn far during the throw ins. Their players were skilled too.
In addition, our first choice last man and stopper were missing. One was injured while the other is sick. But the two players who played in the positions of the missing players were solid too, though some attacks almost resulted into a goal. The keeper was excellent too. He made two superb saves in the first half. I played a game that was below par during that game. I was not properly warmed up and my knee was hurting.
Hai... I am damned freaking stressed out... hai...
