Assignment of Personal Sport

Last year, after summer vacation, I went into my student association football squad kind of sad, my past captain, the person who I had really admired, had moved to an different team. I did not really feel down though, because there were many of my friends that were playing with me this year. The greatest thing I had wise to(p) about soccer is Team Spirit, which I melodic theme my team was full of. Day by day, we played to pick upher, joked in the yard, hung out after pall matches, I was so happy to realise them as teammate. In my city, there were many rival teams, and they were always trying to pull pranks on each new(prenominal).sometimes nothing really happened, further sometimes something really terrible happened. I remembered the time our team did not have any uniforms because some wholeness has painted them. Luckily, we could have a new uniform which I thought were better, but we also had to pay a lot of money for them. This season was not just desire any season before. We had a new captain and we were also playing competitive soccer, which was a lot different than our normal soccer. Instead of playing with other local teams, we got to play in big tournaments and against strange teams from other cities.The spicy was also more vivid I remember the first game, against a team from Hue City-the city next to my city. The game we called Derby Game, it was totally different than anything I had seen, we were getting to play at a university, and against a passing ranked team. We had started the game, and man the other team was wild, they played with violence. After the first half with surprise and anger, we started to strike back, and I was sure the judge would hate to be in his position. Whenever he made a decision, he got a lot of bad word from players it did not matter if he was right or wrong.That game finished with a loss for us, but the biggest disappointment was that two of my teammates were injured. We soon learned to live with this violence, a nd the funny thing is, we even participated in it more than other teams. After we gained enough points, we entered to the next stage of the tournament, which was called Knock Out Stage. This meant we could be kicked out of the tournament as soon as we lost a game. The tournament was held in Ho Chi Minh City, the biggest city in my country. We stayed in a hotel with three other teams.At the first sight I looked at them, I realized that the rumors about them were true teams that qualified to this stage were really beasts, they were stronger, faster and even dirtier (in the way they play). We had about two days to practice and get used to the yard. The yard there was much prettier than in our city. The grass was greener, and there was more space for supporters. In the first day of the tournament, we had a game against Thu Do, a team from Hanoi City- our capital city. That team played really well, they ran all around the yard and I never saw any of them stop running.Our netminder was t aking a lot of their shots he looked really exhausted just after 20 minutes. Then as we saw that they were too strong for us, we changed the maneuver to counterattack, which was much safer and did not waste as much energy. I had to be withdrawn from the yard because of the change in tactic. At that time, I matte up so disappointed but I could contain it. The change in tactic seemed to be good and gave us a positive effect. Thu Do restrained attacked very strong, they flowed into our yard part like a huge flood, but it was less dangerous than before.Our defense did a very good job they kept the enemies far away from the goalie as much as they could, they also tried to block every shot from the enemies. I was sitting on the out of bounds for a bit and my teach asked me how I felt, I said good and asked if I could get back in, he said, Sure, but in a bit. So I started do some exercises to keep my body warm and be ready. A bit later, the referee blew the whistle and the first ha lf came to an end. The result was pipe down 0-0 and we could not expect more. Our team went into the rest room and discussed a lot.My coach told me that I would have a part in second half loathsome thought crossed my mind for a second but was soon gone. At the beginning of the second half, things were not much different from the first one Thu Do still tried hard to attack and score a goal, but our defense line was really concentrated on to the game. Whenever Thu Dos player got the ball, there were always two or maybe three of our players standing around him and were able to win the ball back. They kept attacking hard and we kept defending well.After 20 minutes, Thu Do players were starting to get tired, I could see how heavy and exhausted in their running, and you know, that was the time we had been waiting for. The coach told me to pop in. We started to attack them back, and can anyone believe it? We scored at our very first chance I was the one who crossed the final ball to Vu our player, and with a dash header, the Thu Dos net vibrated with our happiness and cheers from our supporters. We had been waiting for this time and it had come. I remembered a saying from a well-known coach that goes If you keep attacking but could not score, then you will be scored.It was true this time. I could not tell you how Thu Do players faces looked at that time. It was some kind of disappointed, groundless or maybe even shameful. After having a goal, we got back to defense style. The time left was still plenty, Thu Do player attacked in hopelessness, and for their honor. But that was it, the referee blew full time whistle and we won that game, a very tough game. We also paid a very expensive price because of that winning present moment our players were exhausted and did not have good form on the next game. We lost on our second game.Although that was not something that really surprised us, we were still. I thought the main reason for our loss was that we were not reall y ready for this kind of tournament. We were determined to get back to our city and train harder and hope for a self-made next year. That was also a lesson for me and my team, so that in next tournaments, we could have a better preparation in health and mental, and could avoid unnecessary injures. Until now, that soccer experience is something that I never forget in my life that was not only my first soccer tournament, but also the most impressive tournament I have ever had.
