1st Matchday: Sauerkrauts vs. Qilin B 0-3 (0-3)
It was great, it was sensational….aehmm….of course not the way we played, I was talking more about the pitch. As also I experienced it, most of us were happy to appear back to the pitch, after so long time. According to the statistics, as usual managed and prepared by “Mogul Bilgin persoenlich” average weight of the team has increased to 2.87t during the holidays, which was quite disastrous in terms of trying to keep our average speed by 3km per hour from last year. It seems some rules have to be implemented in order to be back to track from next week on.
Our first game was planned to be the direction for the entire season: Win and eliminate the opponent and accompany our first team Krauts next year the 1st league! But as it is usual in China, plan and strategy are always on the paper, the reality is rather different (it sucks). But as we also know it in China, there are always some excuses, if things do not work out: YES, we had new players, who did never play together; YES the pitch was new; YES El Presidente was not there; YES we still had alcohol in the blood, etc., countless reasons.
But not this time, I will not let excuses count, as it can be definitively said that our performance was below our capabilities and it seemed that we were not on the pitch, especially the first half. We were playing against a “kindergarten” team “Qilin B” [what the *** the B stays for and what the hell Qilin means, were the questions before the game started, whereby Management was not able to response to it clearly], without the guy “aziz” the average age would have been 13 years. We started the game in a very unorganized way, positions were not kept and our strikers were not able to get any ball from the Middlefield. In the total game we had 9 fouls!!!!!, which is really nothing, showing how “nicht kaempferisch” we were playing. In good days Ralf Vogelmann does this in 10 min!
It was only a matter of time that they would strike. In the 20 min we received our first goal by an individual player’s mistake, who tried to dribble himself at our own 16m area?. But it can happen, especially be happy that I can’t name you with your name, as I forgot who it was…hehe. 10 min later out of no where the opponent scored again, which really was a nice goal and also the 3rd goal was right after it. What is very important for the next game: Losing the ball to a player means not to give up and not continue to chase the player, no, it means even you lose the ball you have to try to follow or in some cases “am Trikot ziehen oder fo…n” him, but please don’t stop and let the player go and simulate some reasons for not following him!. We received two goals in the same way by the mistake of the same player!
Things changed in the second half and game control was back to our hand. Especially Marc and Eric had several good changes, but unfortunately luck was not on our side. Even with the arriving of the Krauts Squad 15 min before the end, we were not able to use this “cheerleaders” heavy support to score at least one goal. There are rumors that the cheerleaders have charged Sauerkrauts Management for the bad performance.
In a “Dringlichkeitssitzung” “Chef persoenlich [Bilgin]” decided to give Coach Dicknoether another chance this week with his new system from “Angola”, before catapulting him back to Swabian territory in case of another loss and changing to our usual “Nicaragua Aufstellung”. It is clearly communicated in the press yesterday, that anything except a win on Saturday would cost him “seinen Stuhl” and that he will be transferred back to manage the “Krauts” new Frauen Team in Tongren Lu.
Therefore: We really need to win this Saturday, doesn’t matter how! I am expecting from each of you [different rules for Mogul] to go to bed at decent hours on Friday, only drink 5 liters instead of the usual 9 liters’ to keep blood circulation, in order to be ready for the new battle. Via a tel conference the Management have also informed that our new acquisition Mr. Paganetti was filmed before last weeks match at 8am in the morning at Tong Ren Lu, ….zzzzzh…, detail report is expected from him by Friday!
Next game, better luck, “definitive” victory!
With Regards
Mogul “Sauerkrauts” China
