Football Best Formation (Personal Choice)




I'm a fan of football, watch and enjoy playing football ever since I'm young. My favorite team are the Manchester United Football Club from Manchester, England. The England football hype started when our country officially attain the right to broadcast games in 1992, I had been playing football managers since 2002, so in my opinion, the 4-4-1-1 formation suits the modern game.I shall start from the back, every teams needs a pair of strong center backs.

Center backs : i would prefer them to be tall and man marking, as they often deals with aerial challenges, and the last man before the goalkeeper.

Wing backs/full back : every since the introduction by the brazillians, this position stays on every team sheets, they are defenders on the flanks that will move forward to support the winger on the flanks, they play a pivotal role in launching a swift attacks from the flanks, i would prefer them to be fast and good in marking as well.

Winger (side midfielder) : Their role is to support the team's attacking need from the flanks via deadly crosses to feet or head for the strikers to score from, they are fast and good in dribbling as they always find themselves facing up to one opponent, a good cross is a priority especially when opponent crowds the center of the field.

Center Midfielders: i would prefer one with an eye for the killer ball, another with a high work rate and tackling abilities. as they are the key for connecting the defences and the attacks.

Second Striker (hole) : i would prefer them to be playing short passes and the freedom to roam on the pitch either going forward through the middle or the flanks, they also support the main striker.

Striker (center forward) : The goal-getter of the game, goals win games, that is why the are important and the most famous of all the position in the game. The work by going at the end of crosses from wingers or running on to the through pass by the center midfielders, in certain tactics, the also work as a target-man when a long pass in played forward, and it is their duty to battle in the air for the ball and holding it for the second striker to feed on or even for skilled forwards to bring the ball and score.

This is currently the tactics I'm employing for my game, and i continue to study Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United's play to enchance my knowledge.

First Memory

Photos , Stories ; told verbally or taped, shows our past. We have one thing that does exactly the same thing, that's our powerful brain; great in storing things , solving problem, interacting, without a doubt the human brain is the most amazing thing ever existed. That aside, i was always wondering, how come i cant remembered a thing when i was a baby? It's a mystery that i might not find the answer ever in my life-time. Same answers given when i asked my peers about their memories as a baby. Non of us remembered anything. Amused as i am, i shall continue, people talked about memories of their life; sad, tragic, happy. I remembered once my teacher told me, the memory that u will remember the most is the one that hurts you the most. Some told me otherwise, saying happy memories lasts forever and so forth. But to me, the memory that i remembered the most in every detail possible is my childhood. That, i would refer as my FIRST MEMORY.
I remembered getting a toy car as a present, ride on my first blue bicycle which i still have it in my car porch, and falling down the stair while riding on my bicycle, i also remembered going to Genting Highlands theme park. And all of that after confirming with my parents, all those things happened when i was around four years old. So, i can roughly conclude that we start to remember things and event when we are 3-4 years old. Now it seems memory that i stored in my brain doesn't last that long or in detail as those rascally days. I wonder this is why old people get Alzheimer disease. It really breaks my heart seeing our elders slowing losing their memories and one day completely forgotten us. Maybe that is why we should start blogging our memories so that any significant event will be remembered or at least saved in a physical way.
