i remembered the first tournament when i was in primary school, between inter-"club" tournament form by my school, i form a team name "newcastle" and that was my first tournament which i lost totally. Before that, i wasn't playing soccer regularly but that was the time i discovered my talent inside which is leadership in team and have a good striking and driblling. During tournament, i was 10 years old and its a knock-out tournament. we lost 3-1. I scored goal by dribbling alone from midfield. What i really remember is everybody cheering for me eventough my team is not good enough to win. Since that day, my passion in football continued and im determined to develop my talent. i play regularly at my grandmother lawn (about 1/5 soccer field size) which is big enough for us to played and we also played at my school which is not far from my grandmother home. Im among the oldest of my friends and family who join playing. One of them actually play for our "negeri" level now. From that until i join secondary school, my skill developed and i must say im the most prolific goal scorer. i can dribble while running fast, being a leader for a team, i oftenly run back to defensive line to help, control midfield whenever possible and also had a tremendous stamina. Although im skinny and thin, my speciality is my fast feet and im good at finishing. Despite having all that skills, i didn't pursue it to its very best. i just play football for fun. even when i was form 3 in seconday school, school player couldn't beat my defence skill. sometimes i play as a left-back....and i must say, i did a good job. but in striking force, when im partnering with someone who had a skill of passing with me, i became a prolific player at scoring. despite being a player, i also do coaching and manage team, for once we enter inter-village tournament and came out 2nd place just with penalty shoot-out decision. i love to do some coaching, doing dribbling session, have a long shot training, play passing and stamina development. eventough the tournament is the first tournament we join, we shows a good performance. we have a playmaker which is very good at dribbling and passing, and i must say we have about 2-3 players who are good in dribbling and juggling. it was a pure excitement and joyful day in my life. to have fun playing like we never saw the ending of it. i stop playing regularly after i when into matriculation college and after that further study to local university. in malaysia, the first development actually should be polished when the players at 12 years old. that is where the rapid development of skill especially should need to enhance. and after that, its all about technic, teamwork, intelligency on pitch, and maintain the development before its drop when they didn't have proper coaching.Before that, i used to see premier league as well as our local league. I got newcastle original jersey posted by my uncle from UK. my younger brother got blackburn jersey. this is where i started to have attention of premier league playing style. the international level of premier league fascinated me from the way the team played such as arsenal, aston villa and newcastle and as well as tottenham hotspurs....at university, i discovered chelsea team. i became a fan of its because of their versatility and dedication. During vialli take charge and after that the emerge of zola the great until the triumph of mourinho, and today italian taking charge again. in these 21st century, chelsea has become one of the biggest club in europe alongside manchester united and arsenal. during the rise, perception of people became the factor for me to deeply understand what is courage and determination of winning as much as what chelsea player and management did. it is to win with determination and not because you're already the best. why? i don't like to take a shortcut by choosing the best. most of football fans in malaysia is pure loser so they choose the team which is already the best to avoid humiliation. previously, chelsea fc is not a big club but until now im proud to say chelsea fc is the most strongest team in the world. despite all controversial moment, people hates chelsea, and people love manchester united, chelsea has strive by their own ways and in style. the team is very hardworking, very sporting and shows a good sportmanship and fairplay, play beautiful and very organize. in the end, we came out top and deniying all the controversial. last season shows that we win as a family. chelsea fans in malaysia is about 1:100 different from MU fans, we are less in numbers but we shared a same satisfying moment of winning. i hope this season will be the best season for chelsea to strive again. i love football not only one continent, i like to preview everyleague in the world, discover a new talent, discover how to manage team by playing football manager. now i fully understand how the club work. how is the financial and coaching stuff. it makes me understand football fully and despite having all that knowledge, chelsea is the club that suits my personality. majority of football fans doesn't know about football as much as i did, eventough they criticizing losing teams, it doesn't seems to distract me much, they maybe loves MUFC but they judge football for that particular team only and not giving a damn about others team. in term of knowledge and predicting what happens next?, im way beyond forward in term of what signing the will pursue, what statistic and mind-games they produce, sir alex ferguson maybe is great but for me, its only football. they lose, sir alex blame the player. but at chelsea, when they lose, manager keeping faith all the players. in chelsea, the way of playing is produce by determination of winning, the fight among the best, to have "never-lose" attitudes, and the hardworking. the excitement of football is not only for a team, but for their family and friends. we giving our faith for our players, even they stumble and down, we support them and in the end, the players itself proving and making some improvement. that is chelsea. the team i love.
