Assalamualaikum n Greetings
Anyone for some fun? Heard of games held at 'high' altitude pitches . . . above sea level grounds . . . or whatever you want to term it with!
Something like the training most of the world football (soccer) men teams went through just before the Mexico World Cup Finals in 1986.
Anyone for this?
A short stint was held at one playing field in Cameron Highlands . . . a reasonably suitable site for 'high' altitude football (soccer) training!
Amad (Aii) . . .
d lone player who responded to the call-up
Only one budding star player (Aii) turned up for training. Another two (Amb) and (Uim) were busy on tour at some other venues . . . fulfilling respective schedules . . . like meeting up with their fans . . . and other chores.
The coach (a seasoned campaigner) was however not the least disheartened.
After all he is a pro . . . and a pro must behave very professionally . . . he, he, he!
That . . . " I'm not disturbed " . . . stances
Let's see what we can do . . . even if it's only with the presence of one solitary soul of a player . . .
Come on now . . .
Here we go . . .
d positioning . . .
d short pass . . .
d spot kick . . .
d one two . . .
d header . . .
d first touch . . .
d volley . . .
d dribble . . .
d grounder . . .
d stop & shoot . . .
d 50-50 ball . . .
d run-up . . .
d body swerve . . .
d turning . . .
d dummy . . .
everything went fine . . . until came the . . .
d jig ?
d head roll ??
d "hands of God" ???
d walkout ???? . . .
yeah, the coach's done!
Well readers . . . it was fun while it lasted. The training was fantastic. The player was awesome . . . the interest superb . . . the coach?
He simply went out of steam . . . and . . . call it a day!
To cap that beautiful Monday afternoon of July 1, 2013 . . . he resigned on the spot!
He is going back to his domain . . . chappati making . . . ha, ha, hmm.
