I got my first 10s. Yay.
Our class played the first football match in the School Cup. We won 5-1. Yay.
Man, before our cup match everybody had that fighting spirit, that winning spirit, that will to push the limits. Before the cup match, we had many friendlies. We lost some, we won some. We lost because we didn't play as a team. We relied on individual skills. Our team has 1 very good dribbler, 1 very good shooter and 1 very good defender. Usually we gave the ball to the dribbler and we left him alone to do the dirty work. Usually we sent long balls to the shooter and left him alone. And we also left the defender alone to deal with the enemies.
Well, this time we played as a whole. Everybody played their best. I can't say that we had a MVP. Everybody was at top level. The goalie parried everything he could. The defender marked tightly and threw their feet bravely. The midfielders forgot personal pride and focused on passing. The attackers were magic.
Yep, it was a great match. After the final whistle, the opposition said "Yeah, congrats, you won a very big nothing.". It wasn't like that. We won morale. We now know that we can play like an organised, strong team. Even if most of our players weren't good individually, and even if the opposition team had 2 very good fellas, we did it.
With this win in mind, we're thinking about winning the tournament.
