Round 9 （第９節） vs Mt Gravatt

Hi, How are you??

Yesterday's game should have been a derby match in Brisbane for two Japanese player who have played in Brisbane Premier league, but it was betrayed by one Japanese player and was spoiled it.

This round 9, against Mt Gravatt, has one best Japanese player in QLD. His name is Yoshi who played for more than 3 years at top level of semi-professional league in Australia. He is really kind of me and always look after me, so I really wanted to return the courtesy to hime on the pitch. But I couldn't because of thigh injury wounded at reserve game.

Personally, I was confident that I would be able to play at top level because I myself've got a boost to play for last 4 games, anyway I couldn't have been better. So I was really disappointed at the injury.

But we could get a triumph 5-1. It was enough result to give us a boost with big score at Mt gravatt.
We jumped up to 9th from 13th in ladder and we came close to top 4 spot with 3 points behind fourth placed Eastern Suburb.

Anyway, the chance to play with him has been left at our home game, maybe it suppose to play in August according to the fixture of this season.
Until then, I must get a top form and show him my best performance ever.






日本人ダービー！！のはずでした。

　この第９節は、相手のMt Gravattというチームに、自分の恩師といっても過言ではない大先輩の日本人プレーヤーが所属していて、その選手とプレーできるチャンスでもありました。

　自分自身、ベンチ入りはずっとできていたので、出場のチャンスはあるとおもっていたんですが、その前のリザーブ（２軍戦）の試合で太ももを痛め、万事休す。
　
　これからと言うとき、かなりのショックでした。


　試合は、１軍の試合は５－１で勝てたんですが、プレーできていない悔しさと、前々から楽しみにしていただけに空しさもこみ上げ、やりきれない思いでしたね。

　チームとしてはこれで９位（１４チーム中）に浮上し、これからは下位チームとの対戦が続くので、連勝して上位に食い込んでいければと思います。

　あとは自分がリザーブチームを勝たせること、そして結果を残して監督に直談判しようと思ってます。「おれを使ってくれ！！」と。

　次、ホームで対戦するときは必ず、必ず、必ず、スタメンでプレーできているように、決意新たにやっていくのみです！！

Round 8 （第８節） vs Capalaba

Hi, guys!!

I have to change something to step forward.
Is it difficult thing for you to change something from your mind?? In my case, I think it's difficult. I always wish I could work all out.
I always consider like that after trainings and games, and then I'm dominated easily my poor mind.

How come I feel gloomy all the time after games?? because we haven't got a good result as a team maybe...
The reserve team(second team) I play haven't gone well lately. we are struggling in all games of Brisbane Premier league. I think we don't reach the level of the league, some players of our team doesn't even catch up on good enough to play in high competition.

I can't see any glimmer of hope for winning at the moment, but I can't be able to play for first team unless get a better result in reserve grade at every games. I need to appeal more my presense to the coach through the game I play.

Several days ago, the coach for top team told me you need to maintain your performance until the end of game, otherwise I can't send into the pitch of top team.
I understood at once what he makes sense because I had alrealdy been aware of it.

But he has recognised it, I felt I was saw into what I thought of.


Anyway, I'll write on the game of last weekend. There was a game against Capalaba, who located east side of Brisbane. They are one of the best team in our league. On currently ladder, they are in 2nd places at the moment.
We got a 3-4 loss. In first half, we were really struggling the game dominated, and we went into second half 3 points behind, 1-4.

But we didn't throw out the game looks impossible to score back, and at the middle of the half we succeed to get 2 goals back, 3-4. As you can expect, we kept attackin to get an equalizer, and almost spectator must have expected we would get an equalizer dramatically, however such a chance didn't turn up to the end.

But I'm pretty sure that it was one of the best game for us in this season. Next round will be over Mt gravatt is winnable game.

MUST WIN!!






　何かを変えないといけない！！

　試合が終わって、一通り試合の回想をしてると、ふと、そんな感情が湧いてくる。そして次の瞬間、それは大きなモチベーションとなって、自分の気まぐれな感情を支配する。

　ただ、自分がでてるリザーブ（２軍戦）では、結果がチームとして出ていない。後半失速はいつものパターンで、それはまるで自分の試合の動きと呼応するように。
　そして試合後はいつものようにトップチームのベンチへ。

　この前の練習でも監督にこう言われた。
　「９０分間パフォーマンスを維持してくれ！前半だけのヒーローはトップチームでは使えない」と。
　まさに自分の課題を心の底から見抜かれた気がした。
　正直、今トップででても１試合通して安定したプレーができる自信はないし、そこを監督に見抜かれてるのならなおさら、今自分がどういう位置にいるのかはっきりした。

　日ごろの生活から何から、すべてをコンディションを上げる為に変えていかないといけない。そうしないと、この先なにも得れないし、ただのベンチプレーヤーで終わってまう。

　変えないと、無理矢理でも変えないと！！


　すみません、個人的な話ばかりで、試合には一切触れてませんでした。
　結果からいうと、３－４の惜敗。
　前半１－４と敗色濃厚から一転、後半に２点返して最後は猛攻を仕掛けましたが、同点ならず、貴重な勝ち点を取り損ねたのはチームにとって痛いですね。
　
　ここらで、連勝が欲しいとこやったんですが。


　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ではでは！！

　

Business College

Hi mates!!
I got impaired muscle on my left thigh. I don't know what's happening to it, but I feel like sticking something into my thigh. Maybe I got the injury while we were doing a physical training.
I might have just cramp up in it.

Anyway, I started to go to school for business thesedays, that's the reason why it keeps me busy for last couple weeks.
Actually, I didn't want to go to school any more, so I didn't have no intention of studying English at school because I had thought negative thing about language school it wouldn't improve my English.
it might have been kind of bias or something.

But my visa will expire on 17th of May, so we need to extend it somehow to keep playing soccer until the season ends.
That's why I had to decide to be a student.

I study for Business.

The school isn't a normal language school, called business college. so we need to pass the exam of the class before enter, but we don't have to take IELS test in advance, anyway if you have fundamental skills of English, you should be enough.

Almost students of this class need to turn up a class only twice a week, some people can choose one day school a week as an expection. Our course is divided every 6 months, we can extend the period freely if you want.
As a matter of cource, frequency of the attendance is less than average, so the tuition is much lower which is maybe about half price.
But basically, the business course was set up for students who hope want to stay more in Australia, I mean, to stretch the point a bit, some people think of just extending their own visa instead of paying money for the school.

But we have to turn up all class we got for sure unless you get a special reason to absent from class.
Moreover, we get some homeworks and assighment as group-work and have to hand them in by its deadline.

My schedule is much tighter than before, but I can arrange them somehow by myself.
In this September, I will be released from everything.






　どうもです。

　昨日の練習で右太ももを痛めてしまいました。週末の試合にはなんとか出れるようにケアしていかんと！！

　
　で、最近バタバタしてる理由の一つに「学校」があります。そう、先週からまた学校に通うことになり、その手続きや、ビザの切り替えなんかで忙しかったんです。
　ちなみにビザに関してはまた後日、書きますわ。


　ちなみに何を勉強するかというと、「ビジネス」！！というか、目的が「勉強」というよりは「ビザの延長」にあったから入る前は実際なんでもよかったんやけど、やるからにはしっかり勉強します。

　期間は５カ月プラス１カ月のホリデー付きで、一応卒業すれば資格ももらえます。（使えるかわからんが。笑）
　さらに、週２回行くだけで済むっていうのが決め手として自分にとっては大きかったです。
　
　＊もともとこのコースは仕事している人に「学生ビザ」という形でビザを提供する学校やから、主眼は「学問」には向けられていない。

　ので、一般には「ビザ取り学校」とも言われます。笑

　だからってわけではないけど、授業も簡単て聞いてたからなんの準備もせずに行ったら大変！！めっさ難しいやないか！！
　日常会話なら結構自信あってんけど、ビジネス英語がバンバンでてくるから（当たり前やけど）、最初の授業全く理解できんかった。
　最後に課題だされて、それ終わったら帰れる感じやったんやけど、見事に終える一番最後でした。笑

　まぁけど、こういう普段使わない単語なんか勉強できるのは自分にとってプラスやし、周りのレベルが高い方が自分にもいい影響を与えてくれるとおもてます。

　つか、必死にやらんと追いつけへんし、ビザも下りへんようなったら困るしね。笑

　仕事に、学校に、そしてサッカー！！帰国するまで全部やりきってみせまっせ！！

Round7 （第７節） vs Brisbane City

Hi, how's goind, buddy?

I was so busy working with my work because some workmates has gone on holiday for couple weeks in Easter. That's why rest of us had to cover their work, so I couldn't think of anything else.
To be honest, I wanted to run away to somewhere to skip work...

Anyway, we showed the best performance in this season in 3-2 triumph against Brisbane city tonight.
we improved to 7 points in 6 game, 4 points behind from fourth spot on Brisbane Premier League - some teams has played a match more than us.

We need to keep winning a game one by one to get in the Top 4 position and the most important thing is to be unbeaten at next game.

The game stats wasn't as good as Brisbane city, they played better through the game than us and dominated easily in the middle area, so we were really strugling until first 30 minutes in the game.
Then we were scored a first goal at the mid of first half, but we equalized by penalty shot thanks to a lucky judgement of the referee. I don't say it was misjudgement, but I didn't think we would get a penalty kick at that time.
Moreover they got angry his decision and protested the referee, but as the matter of cource the decision was't changed and one of them was sent off the field by him due to something insulting.

The secong half, we could dominate the game easier, but I myself started on the bench, but I was so happy with this result because we had losed in three games running.
Personally, I have played for top team for last couple games. I think I don't have to be negative. I just wait for next chance, and just take it.





すいません、またまた忙しすぎる毎日で更新がロクにできません。

　来週末で一旦ひと段落してくれるので、その後からまたガンガン？更新していきます。
　とりあえず今回は今日の試合のことを！！

　先週はEASTER休みで試合はなかったんで、２週間ぶりの公式戦再開。相手は前節まで３位タイやったBrisbane Cityというチームが相手。
　　
　結果は‥‥‥。。。


　大勝利！！！！！！！！！！！！スコアは３－２！！

　レフェリーの微妙な判定にも助けられたってのはあるけど、勝ちは勝ちやからね！最初先制点取られて嫌な流れになったんやけど、前半終了間際に微妙な判定のＰＫを味方が獲得。
　そんで同点で前半折り返し。

　後半早々に、これまたオフサイドの微妙な判定ながら旗は上がらず勝ち越し。その後、敵が判定に対する講義で一発退場して、それが結果的にこっちとしては助かりました。
　試合内容は結構押されてたし、けしていいパフォーマンスではなかったけど、粘りに粘った結果が「勝利」という形になってくれたんやと思う！！

　個人的には、ベンチスタート。けど、試合終了の笛と共に嬉しさがこみ上げてきた。１試合勝つのにこんなに苦労するんかと思うのがベンチからも伝わってきたし、なによりチームとして勝ちたかった。
　自分としては残念やけど、毎試合ベンチ入りできてるということを前向きに捉えてやっていくしかない。

　いまサッカー以外にも色んなことが目まぐるしく動いてて、集中し切れてないところがあるけど、それもいい訳にはならない。
　やるしかないです！！

　ほんまそれだけ！！

　こっからは休みなく毎週試合が当分続いていくんで、体調落とさずやっていく。
