We are not bad players.
Granted, we don't train on a regular basis to improve our physicality or ball skills, but we're not shabby.
We watch enough futbol to know how the game works. Every weekend, we see on mio/StarHub/illegal internet channels how the pros do it. We've all played enough games to know our own strengths and weaknesses.
What ESFC lacks is immediate tactical acumen. When we're not doing things right, we should not wait till after the game to debrief.
If we're not passing or moving enough, we should remind one another immediately. If one of us spots a weakness in the opposing team, let's go for it instantly. If we're not exploiting it enough, let's communicate with one another and execute the gameplan on the spot.
But let's be firm and polite. We're more than teammates, we're friends. You guys are almost the siblings I never had.
We only play our beloved, beautiful game together once a week. In each match, there's only 90 minutes to win. And we've only a decade or two left before we hang up our boots and watch the next generation take the field.
At our age, we won't make it to the higher leagues, but let's own the social one that we're joining.
Let's have fun, gentlemen. But let's have fun playing to the best of our collective ability. From now on, let's play like a real team. Let us play better. Now.
