frustration

i don't want to be nakata. there is someone else i don't want to become like.

that's why i don't want to make decisions. that's why i lie low sometimes. that's why i don't do what i would have done. that's why i hold myself back. that's why i do what i do, which isnt really what i want.

however much it means to me.

that's why there is frustration.

if you want to reach heaven, you got to have the basics.

at least that is what i believe.

takahara's first goal was very nice. that's what passing is about.

to play a short passing game, there must be movement. no movement= no passing, unless you count those kind of passes between defenders without any pressure. i don't see any point in that. move, move move!

i once saw arsenal break away. fabregas ran with the ball and he looked around for options. there were none. he played a long ball that curled to henry's head. henry headed tamely or over or something. it wasn't a goal.

do you ever wonder what fabregas was feeling when he made that pass?
has it ever occured to you that he would have gone for a short pass if there were an option?
he had no choice but to play that ball.
of course it is a good ball, and he would have been pleased.
but he could have played it short, if people gave him a chance.

if everytime there was no movement, and fabregas plays this kind of ball, would arsenal's play become one-dimensional in the sense it is always this kind of killer balls?
then when his balls go stray, would you blame him for the team being one-dimensional to accomodate him? it would seem as though the team was accomodating him. but it would be unfair to say that. he would never want it to be the case.

you must understand that.
