Colin and Kero aside, it's time for manly stuffs as the new season is about to kick off as soon as some players return from their military fitness boot camp. The boot camp has been a mainstay of many team's training programme as it improves the fitness levels and sharpness of its players. However, X-S FC will be terribly hit with the lost of key player Wayne Booney.

Throughout the past months, players were undergoing intensive training to develop other skills besides those required on the field. Shahrul and Yong Liang are undergoing leadership training as the team requires more leadership to inspire the men. Are these hints that Captain Fabreyaz(that's his title not his rank) is going to be replaced as team captain? Rafarell Benitez has declined to comment on the matter. Recruits Yasin, Daniel and gay boy Derek will join back training as fitter and stronger privates. Increasing muscle mass on Derek can only turn him into the fearsome sabretoothed juggernaut. Left wingers, watch ur front! Farrell will undergo training to improve his medical skills in case of casualites that occur during the game. Medics are an important bunch of people as seen when they rescued Cisse's broken leg to prevent amputation.

One can practically smell anticipation lingering in the air as supporters look forward to the new season. Once again, stay tuned...

Tactical Lesson 1

The game of soccer, complex in many aspects, can be broken down simply into
1. Passing the ball to a team-mate
2. Passing the ball to an opponent
3. Scoring a goal( which is essentially passing the ball into the opponent's goal )

From this we can all see that soccer is about PASSING ( no offence to fabreyaz ). Why do we pass the ball? We need to pass so tt we wldnt lose the ball when idiots are pressuring us. We need to pass so that pple in better positions can create something. We need to pass to irritate the opponents ( although certain pple who dribble alot irritates opponents as well as team-mates. WE ALL KNOW WHO.) As we can see, PASSING IS EVERYTHING!!!

What we should achieve: constant movement of the ball to irritate opponents, shag the dogs out, and go for the jugular vein.

Remember how FMFC tormented us with their crisp passing. Short passes around the right dragging us there and suddenly, wham! Someone sends the long alonso-esque pass right to the other flank leaving us like a lamb in the headlights.


Ps: yet another rubbish post due to boredom. Hopefully this will be of help in building a common understanding among team-mates allowing us to achieve the greater goal: JOGA BONITO
