gerbieAfter playing an extra match last saturday with the third team (1-1), this morning I found myself in a locker room with a team and no coach. So I took charge (I am 10 years older at least than everyone else) and put myself on the bench. Easy choice, I had played a full game only 36 hours before, I did not have to put myself on the field with a teammate on the bench and I did get the chance how good we really are.
After scoring a first, we conceded three before half time, against a team that was not really stronger than we were. Luckily our coach showed up at half time, so I didn't have to pick one to substitute myself. I played for 40 minutes in the second half, didn't score for the first time in ages, but did get us a penalty, which was then scored by a teammate to secure our victory: 5-3. It felt good, not scoring, yet feeling you can contribute. We are still undefeated after the winter and have risen from 9th to 6th in that time span. A few matches before the winter we were still 12th out of 12. Football can be fun.
