KL Weds 0 - 0 JLJ

As usual, our young opponent who's average is 23 came at 4pm and were already started to warm up. Fyi, JLJ is currently playing in the top division of the KLFA league and has qualified to the Quarter final round. There were about 22 of them in attendance. Before our match started, a slight drizzle help to cool off the weather and ground making the ground a bit too soft.
We were equally ready for a big match as well and the new look team, led by newly SELF appointed coach a.k.a The Special One , Waynaldo was there to drill the players into top notch condition both physically and mentally. The emphasis from the 4-5-1 formation was apparently to absorb the expected waves of attacks from JLJ and relying on fast counter attack to score. Ball possession with patient build up were the keys to succeed in this game. The players were all motivated after hearing the pep talks from the special one and were eager to go out there and achive a good result.
The match started with JLJ coming to attack our defense line with venom. However, thanks to the teamwork and fighting spirit displayed, our guys were doing very good to contain them. In fact, we were equally dangerous whenever there is a chance to attack. Long man upfront Kenny Dog-lish was working his ass off giving chase to every ball like a mad dog. His display truly inspire his compatriots to work harder to close down on any gaps or space. JLJ found our defense too hard to break down and were only relying on long range shooting for luck. Certainly no luck for them and keeper Eric were having a somewhat easy time just looking for the ball to went too high/too wide off the goalmouth. 1st period ended 0-0.
2nd period resumed with the same script and our president shouted within a minute of play for substitution. We thought who made him angry and wanted to change so fast? Well, well, well, apparently the old joint of Tailoong got misaligned and causing him needed massage treatment from Pusat Kesihatan KL Wed FC in Seri Kembangan. Tailoong went off and Soonteck came in. We continued to play well as a very cohesive side and JLJ could do nothing to score. We have more chances to score in this period but several chances were wasted due to poor finishes and hesitation to shoot.
3rd periodl was the same old story as above and we managed to end with 0-0. Post match statistic from Gaga Sia indicated our total possession was 51% as compare to JLJ's 49 only.
The guys quickly wash up and head straight for our tema annual dinner at Sg Long..and what a night it was. Certainly great news for those going to Hangzhou in May. More reports on this trip to come..
