The day when i see the possible revival of Total Football

Half time, 2-0 down, 1 man off. Come back seems impossible especially when ur not winning for 5matches in the BPL.
U need something special to do it. Wenger did.
On the hour mark, he bravely intro Adebayor n Walcott into the pitch. and its all different.Monsieur Wenger took off Senderos, centre back, to subs with Walcott. an attacker.
by then, Arsenal shift Toure to the centre, with Gallas. in Fact, walcott was asked to play as Wing Back with Clichy. so the formation seems to be 2-5-2.2 defensive players as seen in the formation wise, but when Bolton attack, Clichy drop back, Walcott, and Flamini too. make it 5-3-1.
Basically, Walcott was alone on the right flank. i could see Gallas in the penalty box of Bolton, where Flamini dropping back to fill his gap. Adebayor drop tp the left, while Hleb and fabregas make forward runs. look at the 2nd goal, it was the initial Flamini shot that lead to it. yeah, even him attack. see where was Walcott, in the penalty area also, a wing back. but Van Persie, a striker, was way behind the goal.
that was the essence, everyone can attack, everyone can defend. defender attack then attacker drop back to defend. with the change of position, it make the defenders diff to defend. we couldn't see the diffrence between 10men or 11men. becos everyone is covering each other.
i watched the only Dutch game of 1988 2yrs ago, TOTAL FOOTBALL. one match and i m in love. A shadow of that is enough for me.
Final score, Bolton 2- 3 Arsenal

The strong one doesn't always win, the one who wins is strong"

this is the phrase used by Franz Beckenbauer, the 1st player who played the position as "sweeper". though in modern games, the position seems to be out dy, but frens that play FM should know this position.

i personally very like this statement.
i heard his interview about his famous statement. i was totally admired with his thinking.
who cares if u r considered the so-called "strong", u don win, u arnt strong.

people will only remember the winner. there will only be a winner, a strong team, a strong player.

of course i think this not only applies in football, but in real life too. the one who wins is strong.

its a encouragement for me actually, before giving any fight, no one knows who is strong.

Since young, i always think i need to equip myself to be strong, then be a winner, which sometimes makes me arrogant. now i know that, there are many factors leading to success. just being "strong' wun bring u to anywhere. at the end of the day, the winner is strong. u r not strong if u have not won.

People might think its sounds extreme, maybe i didnt use the proper English to present my thoughts. i m too lazy to type out in Chinese

i put it in chinese : 强者不一定胜，胜者是强的

strong businessman in making =p Come on!

Stop playing us --> my views and my thoughts

Arsenal drew again last night. again, against a lower team. Everyone was saying that it comes to the stage where Arsenal are dropping in the title race, conceding it to MU. Well, maybe. But there is something i would like to say here.
Referee is playing his part in the title race!
i ll take last nite match as an example.
Adebayor scored a perfectly goal ruled offside. the referee was within 5yards away, yet he looked to the linesman, who is around 20yards away for advise. he was in an offside position, but the ball played to him was the opponent, not his teammates! hey mark halsey, did u pass your referee lisence test?
To the goal scored by Middlesbrough, the referee awarded free kick to them when he ruled that Adebayor fouled. it was a mere body contact and he blew it. shortly after the goal, Eboue was checked by Pogetetz in the area [ much worse than the contact Adebayor made that constituted to a freekick], and he said play on!
My point is, Arsenal could have won the game easily, but the referee spoil the game.
i wun be argueing if this is the 1st time i feel referee gone against Arsenal.
Against birmingham [where Eduardo broke his leg], its never a penalty for Birmingham. Clichy clearly touched the ball, perfect tackle. it was further affirmed by Martin Tyler, the most influencial commentator in premier league.
The impact u all see here is 4 points, but its not the case actually.
imagine if Arsenal collected all 3 points in these matches, their confidence is high, there are still leading the table. in the road for title race, mental plays the biggest part.
okay, i m not putting all the responsibility on the referee but merely stating my dissatisfaaction on the standard of referring we had in the last few weeks, especially it all went against my team.
i'm predicting MU to be the premier league champion, Barca or MU the UEFA champion.
Arsenal need another season, and a natural left winger. i stated it many times. Mr Wenger, are you aware? Downing is an option.
Football is the field where i release my anger and frustration.
Back to contract now. =)
i hope there is a surprise 2mr, i hope. stating again, hope

Dhiraj's farewell

i was back in muar last week, mainly to attend Dhiraj's farewell party. he is going to India to further his studies. Another fren gone. Haih. i'll let pictures do the talking.

Eduardo's injury --> my view and my thoughts

i guess everyone knows about the tackle that Arsenal no.9 Eduardo Da Silva suffered last saturday. it seems like a serious injury that would probably ends his career. right until now, there is still no guarentee on when he can come back into action. here is some pictures on the horror tackle from Martin Taylor.birmingham's defender.

i couldnt find the photo published on The Star last sunday. that picture will tell everything. but the 2nd picture here shown that his leg is broken. look at the bottom part of the leg, and the socks. its just sad.below's picture is a clearer one. the injury was so severe that Sky Sport don even wana show the replay.

okay.

talk about the tackle.

i personally think its a bad tackle, deserved a red card. suspension wise, i think 5matches would be sufficient. though i was angry with that tackle, taylor used one-foot to tackle, not two foot. and the fact that he did not "fly" into the tackle impliedly tell me that he did not intend to hurt Eduardo. i assumed that its just an accident

about the injury.

i think its bad.especially hurt for forward, as inevitably, their pace would be affected. the picture tells how severe the injury is

about his future.

it dont look convincing. we have examples of alan Smith recovered from injuury but sold to Newcastle. we have Djibril Cisse recovered from injury, sold to Marseille.so i think that Eduardo would recover, his career would be safe. but his Arsenal days might be ending.

i wish all the best to Eduardo for quick recovery. i hope to see him wear Arsenal jersey, runs, sprints, shoots, scores.All the best

And 2day news was saying that Martin Palermo is joint top scorer in South America.
Clap Clap Clap.
im always impress with his positive thinking.!

3rd time

Everyone hopes to do something successfully in one-shot.
If fail once, they hope they can achieve it by the 2nd chance.
Sometimes, there might be a 3rd chance, sometimes not.
Theirry Henry voted the World Footballer of the Year Runners-up for 2 times, he said, i will come back and get on the 3rd attempts. IT never happen though.=s
People talking about capitalise chances, else you wont go far in anywhere
Sometimes, there might not even be a 2nd chance, typically, all exams based in Malaysia are the examples.
In the other field, football for example,
when you missed a chance, there might not be a 2nd chance to score again in the same match
Martin Palermo missed 3 penalties in a same match in COPA America remained a joke in football.
Yeah, people looked back, laughter still can be heard.
I was impressed though, with him, his teammates.
him for missing the 1st, he had the courage to take the 2nd in the match, after 2nd missed, again, he steadied himself to take the 3rd.
He missed, unfortunately.
His teammates, for putting faith on him even though he missed twice.
To the positive side, he still taking penalties now.
Darius Vassell, English player if you dunno about him, currently playing for Manchester City. You might just known him as he scored against MU last week.
Who remember that he missed a penalty for England against Portugal in 2000?
he was a young lad that time. since then, his football career downswing and never look to recover since then.
BAck to my life.
i failed my driving test for 2 times.
Friends mostly laughed at me sarcastically. If i said i m totally unaffected, i would be lying you.
i dont really mind though, maybe i just not meant to be a talented driver?
Actually, this the 1st time i felt i failed so badly in everything gone in my life. In other things, i always at least reached a satisfactory level, at least to myself
Who(even myself) would thought that i will fail twice.
i was seriously thinking: what if i fail the 3rd?
i knew my mum was very disappointed.
she felt its very tiring to travel bec on monday and travel again bec to KL on tuesday is very wasteful
who to blame for, i didnt capitalise on my chance.
i remembered when i failed the 1st, chiaHui was saying, dont bluff me i know u passed.
i felt bad. its a faith shown by my buddy.
Sometimes a simple sentence ran outfrom your mouth might have a effect on someone, who knows.
i hate doubts on me.
i want faith shown on me
its like the same thing in football.
everytime when i wanted to shoot, zhi ang would shout "Goal"
he anticipated goal when i get into the dangerous zone and shoot.
okay, sometimes i missed alot.
but its a kind of faith and makes you feel that you are supported, ur teammates, frens are behind you for something.
maybe he himself dunno i actually like that kind of support.
its a without-word-encouragement.
i hate liars who said you are superb but then at your back saying come on, he sucks

Its a bullshit post which describe my feeling now.

P/S: i've done it, next is to kiss a gal?hahaha
