On Saturday our team "suffered" a decent physical training on the beach near Sofitel.
They had to run all the way through the mouldy sand to the hotels just after Soi 77, I guess about 2 kilometer (and back)! Great performance, but knowing our team is dealing with football almost on a daily basis since over 2 months, their condition should be(and indeed is) improved! No question about that!
On Sunday morning, seeing the same crack in the same dawn as the week before, we drove to another football field, just after Mountain Ville resort.
The field is much better than the one at Somtawin (although a few cows seemed to have dropped some of their overweight...) and, although a couple of players were not available due to health reasons (...), our players were absolutely good. The game was very nice to watch, because Somtawin showed a lot of dedication and our young players showed themselves real worthy opponents to the "Spanish" team, that seemed to be in the lead of the Thai-Nepalese league. Although it looked that they would be defeated untill far in the second half, they managed to score 3 times (Martijn, Amrit and ...) in the last 10 minutes! A draw and a great performance guys!!!
Our team in the meantime choose their captain (Dear) and co-captain (Martijn) and they already started their preparations for their journey to Malaysia, the second week of October. They already talked about possibilities of sponsoring to get a decent outfit for that event. Some of the players already know very well how this world works, the rest will learn from it... wonderful!
