…woke-up 4:30am, still sleepy, but have to leave early for
Makati. Seeing my old school and the DBTI field where I first learned football –
gave me back the joy and the peace of mind that I had when I was still a stupid
young boy. The expectations are low – “I am here to play”, that’s it. I was
asked to handle our senior team and gave it the name “Super Seniors” – named after
the Korean boy band, Super Juniors. We were also told that we need to create
another team for the Men’s Open Division, and we decided to name it – “Team
Omega”… not because of any fraternity or sponsorship of an expensive watch but because
of the pain killer/liniment used by the guys. One game after the other, from
one field to another – losing a game, winning shoot-outs, beating tough teams…
all of the teams are well balanced… the combination of the strength and aggressiveness
of the boys and the wisdom of the veterans resulted to the historical back to
back championship… and yet my expectations that day are low… that is why I Love
Football.
