Match Day 5

“Defender”

When your teammates look you in the eye they have to believe in you. You’re a defender. Never give your tactics away. Be invisible and dangerous. Don’t give up any ground to your opponent. Gauge your movements to the very last millimetre. Pass just a fraction to early or too late and it’s a foul, a second too quick or too slow and you’ve missed the ball. You have to fight for every one of them. You have to run yourself into the ground for them. You have to fight tooth and nail for that extra centimetre. Because when you add up all those centimetres, what you get is the difference between victory and defeat.


We came out hard and had most of the possession of the first half but they had 1 chance and got 1 goal because of this stupid play that our coach wants us to do on their free kicks. The way its supposed to work is that we have one guy right behind the wall and as the shooter hits it that guy drops off incase it goes on the near side of the wall but our guy dropped to soon and left 4 of their guys onside and they had a free header, 1-0. We continued to press and continued to get opportunities but just couldn't finish. I 'd say it's about 85% mt fault we didnt't get a goal in that first half. I am the one to look for on corners, throws, and free kicks and I couldn't get my head on anything! I was getting so frustrated. Trinity players started getting to me too. Elbows in the back, punches to the head, you name it, they did it. It basically worked too because I screamed and swore at the ref and called him an idiot and that he should pay attention, no yellow though. That was all near the end too when we were pushing for our second goal and I was ready to punch their big guy in the face. He was the one doing most of that shit to me.

Tomorrow's another day though, UBC at home. #4 UBC vs #6 Lethbridge. We are coming off a 1-1 draw that we should have won and they are coming off of a loss. I have to stick someone in the first few minutes of the game so I can set the tempo of the game.

ATIITUDE IS EVERYTHING
