Nice.
Yesterday we had another 7 a side league game. The captain decided to start me on the bench, I didn't complain or make a fuss...I was the first one of our team to arrive and did my warm ups etc. I encouraged them from the side while they were playing. After 10 mins or so I got subbed in (it's rolling subs) and within 30 seconds I started a counter attack with some one twos, had a chance on my weaker side, i kept it low and sent the keeper the wrong way but he managed to hit it out with his feet. About 5 minutes later I had another chance that I created alone, I bullied one of the opposition's midfielders and stole the ball, ran at the defence, dribbled past one, but he touched the ball slightly so it stayed a bit behind me, I saw the keeper coming out, and with my weaker foot I managed to lift it over the diving keeper, unfortunately it hit the post and got cleared by the defender.
In the second half we started well but was a bit more cagey (it was 1-1 at this point). Then I saw our central defender with the ball, and I was one on one with the defender, and I shouted out for the ball to be played to me along the wing, the defender played a great ball, I got away from the defender, was one on one with the keeper and slid it round him to make it 2-1.
Following that the other team went more attacking so I was leading counters for us. The keeper was playing the ball to me, I was controlling it with my back to goal and laying it off to the oncoming midfielders, I set up like 3 one on ones but they missed them all.
One of the times I controlled a long ball on my chest and laid it off to the captain, I then turned my defender and took a few paces towards goal, my teammate barely touched it to me, and with me turned sideways to goal, I ran for the ball and hit it first time, I hit it sweetly, it curved round the keeper and I thought it was going top corner, however it once again hit the post, on the way back it passed slightly over the keeper's head and the other teams defenders cleared it. Had it gone in, it would have been the nicest goal I scored this year.
Ultimately we won 3-2, which was our first win of the season! We have another 2 games in December before the Xmas break, if we manage to win both, we will end the Christmas break in 4th place, which isn't too shabby.
My goal to game ratio so far is 75%, as I've scored 3 in 4 games, I've also hit 4 posts in 4 games but that's another story lol
