This is a picture of the VS school soccer team when we won the finals last year.
Last Friday, Victoria School played host to Pasir Ris Secondary School for a friendly soccer match. Although the result did not go our way, there are always up and downs in life, right? Well this was one of the downs, and hopefully things would get better in time to come.
It was an exhilarating match of an hour, and I could tell we really tried our best, but even professionals make mistakes once in a while, don’t they? In the first half, neither side could find the net, but everyone could see that our side were the better side of the two. We had most of the possession of the ball and we practically dominated the entire first half. One of the Secondary one Victorians even smashed the ball on the post which was very unfortunate for us of course. When the referee blew the whistle signalling the start of the second half, we thought that were bound to win if we continued to play like in the first half, but we were about to be proved wrong.
Early in the second half, the opposition had scored the opening goal and we were down 1-0. Hopes of winning the match were dashed as everyone on the Victorian team was looking really sad, but we still tried our best to equalise. That’s when the most irritating I had ever heard entered my ears,’ the only reason we are losing is because I am not playing’. I looked around and realised it came from a Secondary one sitting next to me. I was really furious at that and gave him one of my ‘can you shut up?’ looks.
I know u might think that I was a little rude to the poor Secondary one who had just entered the school for barely a month, but this guy was so irritating. We were losing in a match we were supposed to be winning, and all he could say was that? Couldn’t he have at least encouraged the team to not give up or maybe just keep quiet? But no, that was not to be the case. What he said next was probably the second most irritating I every heard,’ Oh my god, look at that Sec 2, he runs so slow! Why does the coach doesn’t substitute him out for me?’He complained to his friend. By now, I was at a total loss for words as I was infuriated but I decided to just keep quiet. The opponent then scored again to make the final score line 2-0.
I felt that we had made many unnecessary mistakes in the match and I think we have some serious reflecting to do. However, like I had mentioned earlier that there are always ups and downs in life, not to mention football. Hopefully, we would do better in the upcoming match against Telok Kurau Secondary.
