Adding on to Sebastiano Rossi updates on today hard-fought 3-3 draw against our tough opponents, I would fairly comment that it could goes both ways between us & the opponents.
We are indeed lacklustre in the beginning of our opening 20mins allowing the opponents to seize control of the midfield piling tremendous pressure on us. With such strong opponents we are facing today, the absence of dominant Joe & offensive Khim is clearly sorely missed. It is only the timely introduction of our ever-reliable Huiming that somehow or rather managed to pull our defence compactly together & allowing the team to play in our true nature.
Going 2-0 down in half-time is a bitter feeling but all the ARFC players believed that we can overturn this situation if we play to each strength & move on as a team. A tactical team switch with Blackburn playing as right-winger shows immediate rewards with him terrorising the opponents defence with his close control of his ball skills & pin-point crosses that resulted the ARFC to pull back a goal & even taking a well-deserved 3-2 lead. The endless running from "steroid pump-up" Alvin & offensive link-up play of Haronaldino also caused major problems for the tough opponents. It was only an unfortunate defence lapse that enabled the strong opponent to crawl back to level with the ARFC which allowed this thrilling match to end with a stalemate situation. The results could possibly goes both way but I guess a draw is suffice enough for these 2 fantastic teams which faced off today.
