entire team moved forward for a corner in the closing moments of the final between AD2 and SC8..
centre back, sweeper moves forward to add height into the corner and to play containment in opponent's half in the last two min of game.
"lianglin! go back and cover defence!"
i humbly obliged, i mean, i cant head a ball to save my life.. so yeah..(mainly cuz of the height)
Corner taken, 2 passes were hardly strung together, before they intercepted it and the ball was sprayed out to the winger, some skinny but fast dude from the school soccer team..
with the entire team backpedaling in vain, and not covering enough ground in time, the last man then rushes to the left wing as fast as his aching legs and blistered feet would carry him.. he realised that he couldn't catch up with the zipping winger even if he ran like a dog.. the decision was made in a split second.
"SLIDE", "WHAM!", "ARGH'', tumble tumble
opposing player rolling on the ground, clutching his ankle, but got up soon..
the sidelines near where he fell, which was stuffed with supporters of SC8, all started cursing and swearing at me..
"REF! WHAT THE F*** HE WAS NOWWHERE NEAR THE BALL!! COME ON LA.. IT WAS TWO FOOTED... BLAHBLAH...."
ref comes up, and flashes the yellow card from his shirt pocket, and says..
"hey, u gotta be more careful from now on."
i just started laughing.. i dunno... i just felt good about that crunching tackle on him.. took some wind outta that guy, and got myself a card from ac games.. after the game, which we lost, i found out that i was the only player booked in the entire tournament.
i think the entire thing is so funny.
