The Beautiful Game!.

Saturday 6^th November 2010 
Diemen [4] Geuzen-Middenmeer F4 [2]

We Lost [with style] We lost [still playing to the end] We Lost [Just]

From the 1^st kick off it was apparent that something was different about F4. Normally happy [as a bunch] to run at get the ball,on Saturday they seemed happy for Diemen to run at them with the ball.

On many occasions Diemen used their wing players to penetrate deep into our half. F4 seemed happy to chase and run alongside the opposing player almost inviting them to ‘have a go’. And ‘have a go’ they did. Time after time, they found big gaps in our defense which put pressure on our goal keeper. Clever runs, good passing and players ready to wait in position so that they could receive the ball. 

In the end the pressure was too much. F4 found themselves 2 goals down by half time [two very good goals] which could only be avoided if we had played in good position and make tackles at the right moment.

The half time dressing room surprisingly was not a sad place.  F4 players quickly re-grouped, and in their second half performance you could feel that they were determined not to let this game be one sided. 

It was a spirited response and F4 put Diemen under a lot of pressure in front of their goal but their defense was a match for our attempts and it was not possible for us to break them down.

Both Nicolas and Samuel worked hard and in return they found themselves on the score card with two very well worked goals, one from a corner and in the last moments of the game the other goal came from open play. 

Generally there were some good performances from F4 but in the words of my ‘old’ teacher ‘Could Do Better’.

Sure the coach is not happy with a loss but as stated in the dressing room the coach is proud of all players because you did not give up ;-)
