Looking for a light

Wasnt at training for most of the time today, was at Serangoon wif charmaine trying to take a look at our potential semi opponents. Hmmm, but I still think JR did a decent job at things, I think we are now at a stage where its hard to work on new things, so its realli about grinding it out, 2 more hours of soccer, 5 more trainings before this grand adventure ends.

So we will be facing a rejuvenated SRJC side, a side that has improved tremendously. They have very good technical players, so me and the coaching team will have to think realli hard about how to get a result. Although we beat them 4-0 the last time around, it realli counts for ABSOLUTELY nothing cos in knock out situations the form book goes out of the window. In fact they are the ones hungry to exact revenge and dump us out of the competition.

But wateva it is we cannot afford to take things lightly. Sure things have been looking rosey, luck seems to be on our side, but ever since the unfortunate injury to Charmaine, I somehow feel realli worried, worried a Boro will happen, where they rode on their luck all the way only to be hurled back to planet earth in the final of the UEFA cup. Well, for us its not even the final, its still semis, and I just cannot accept it if we go out of the semi finals, simply because I have never lost a national semi final in 6 attempts as a player. 14 goals scored, none conceeded, 4 played 4 wins. But it will count for NOTHING, if we get a result in the semis. Going to the final and playing the 3rd/4th place is simply unacceptable to me.

Its funny that I never seem to be happy. I remember setting myself a semi target at the start of the year. But somehow, after going so far, why stop now? The final is waiting, for many of the girls, it will be the greatest sporting stage they will ever grace, but they are still one stop away.

The clock is ticking down, one more training to get things rite. 1 good whiteboard session to set the tone. We have to do this.

So girls, this is it, the final 2 hours of football in the competition. Lets bring it up one more level, we can do this.

God pls be with me and with the team. I need you more than ever.

Out.
