Portuguese? Football??? Oh no....
Yeah, the week started off pretty badly with Mourinho’s team not making it to the final of UEFA Champions league, but then it had the chance of getting better – DHL has a team that participates on a Amateur league, with games every Wednesday’s. The team is doing pretty badly and we just have few others behind us in the league. (Check the stats to see how bad we are - http://www.espzen.com/leagueTable.asp?leagueNo=5)
I thought “Hmmm time to show some Portuguese skill in this company, go out there and score a hat-trick just as an introduction to the new era of DHL Football”
Soon I understood the basic concept of football – you cant play it alone…and since my team seemed to be a British style one (kick the ball to the front as strong as you can and don’t worry if it doesn’t reach any of your players) I barely touched the ball during 80 exhausting minutes…I could rate my exhibition as pathetic….but then again, last time I had played was in the famous transition party final and that was 5-5 football, here its 11-11 and we have to run much more…
Moral of the story…
I can’t sit properly today since my ass is in serious pain and I can’t walk properly either – so it really seems that someone took advantage of me last night…and to make it even better I was a bit hangover this morning due to the quantities of beer drunk after the match (we need to get back every single calorie we lose in the match)
But next Sunday I will play on another amateur league, just as preparation so I can finally display some Portuguese skill in the next Wednesday’s match against the team in the 2nd position (oh boy, we will get our ass kicked seriously…)
Ah, just in case you wonder about the result last night….we only lost 3 – 0
Lets just hope Sporting makes it to the UEFA Cup final and that Benfica wins the next game on Saturday…
