ZZZZZZ..Im so bored.. So i will just post what i can only think about right now-SOCCER. Well not just any old thing about soccer that i have already posted before,but how i came to like soccer. Heres how it all started......
From 1 - 9Years old
From when i was 1 years old to 10 years old,i didnt know anything about soccer or that it even existed in this world. It was only when my cousins abandoned a match of Monopoly with me to catch a game of soccer on ESPN that i heard the word soccer.
At the age of 10
This year,someone gave me the soccer game FIFA road to World Cup as a present. At first i only chucked it aside,thinking it was something dumb. But one day,as i had nothing to do,i decided to try it out as nothing could be worst than not doing anything. I found the game very interesting as what i saw was people using their legs to control the ball and shooting it with power together with accuracy. I found it very fascinating as i knew it would take many years of training to be able to control the ball so well. This was also the time where i started supporting a club and finding my model in soccer-Gianfranco Zola from Chelsea FC.
Many of you will be asking me-Why Chelsea? Okay,actually it was by luck. My older brother likes Manu and my younger bro likes liverpool. As i wanted something different from the them i started finding out more about other clubs.
At first many people recommended Arsenal to me saying that they were Title-winning material. At first,I thought Arsenal was a good choice. But soon i found out that Arsenal were mostly using foreigners in their team so i continued on my search. Then, one day i watched a match between Arsenal and Chelsea. It was the first match that i watched. I saw Arsenal dominating the match but it was one player that caught my eye.Yes, Zola.Although he was very quick and skilled and has the ability to dribble past defenders,but i saw that he mostly passes and not solo on himself.He was a true Team Player.Even though Arsenal won the match, but i knew that ChelseaFc was for me to support.
At the age of 11
I started playing soccer this year. In my first match at my friends house, i was a complete LOSER. Whenever the ball came to me,i would either miskick it or totally miss it. But it was a good experience for me and i wanted to improve on the skills. So whenever i went to my friends house,we would always have a time set to play soccer. After a few months of "training",my skill on the game had improved alot,from a complete loser to a rookie. In school,my status of a soccer player had also increased,from the bottom till the top few in school. That was the year that i thought about being a soccer player in the future.
At the age of 12
There was PSLE this year but the hottest topic was the Inter-Class soccer tournament after that. As we wanted to be the champions,we played soccer every recess. During one recess,as our teams goalkeeper did not come,i filled in the spot for him. That was also the day that i got a new status "The best keeper in school" which i did not know why. Maybe it was because i had saved 3 penalties in a row and 2 one-on-ones. But it was all pure luck.The penalties that i saved were either because the kicker kicked the ball to close to me or because they were too weak. I did not even have to do much but just stop the ball. I didnt deserve to get the Status actually.
During the tournament,I was again riverted to a central defender even though i didn't even know how to tackle. And it was because of me that our team lost. I went all the way to the opponents half before losing the ball when i should have opted to pass the ball.As i was out of position, The opposition players passed all the way through our defence before scoring the winning goal. We were kicked out of the tournament because of me.
At the age of 13 to 14
During this 2 school years, i learnt more about the sport and that teamwork was key in soccer. I found many pro players in the the class such as Ryan-a skilled dribbler, Zi Jie- the playmaker,Matthew-the new PELE,Raymond/Nick/Cher Yong/Jing Lu-the hardworking defenders,Ming Swee-the silent Ball winner and Fu Seng-the long ranged specialist and ball winner. From them, i learnt that scoring wasn't everything as the person who set up the chance was equally important.
So that was my journey... :)
