Game 1…..
And so we start the season with a proper BANG….. J
We were facing some small challenges with uniform/numbers, cards etc, but nothing we couldn’t manage really.
Our opponent didn’t stand a chance, well, maybe once or twice, but that was it, even a PK (bogus one I may add) was something they failed to convert, but non the less, they stuck with it for the full 90min, which goes to show– we cant lose focus until final whistle.
Our back line: Chris, Dejan, Olman and Rafael, with the support of The Dao and The Chow gave them almost nothing, and they got frustrated….
Our Mid field: Simon, Trevor, David, and Fernando (some of his Salsa moves were a treat!), under the brilliant supervision of the Brazilian Vet – Fabio, created SO many opportunities, doing unjust to the score card and to our front men.
Our Strikers: Gabriel (who showed why we missed him greatly in the latter part of last season), and our new comer – LB/WR/QB Justin C were like flees on a 2 day old Hummus and their defense hated them.
Not to forget our GK – Marc, who when he did need to move, he break danced, keeping our onion bag un-rattled.
We have some fine tuning to do, sure, but we have 13 more games to go, and it will come.
Attitude and spirits were great and positive on and off the pitch (well, if one can call it pitch), and that counts for a lot.
We will need a bit more talking on the field, a bit more focus on the ball and in our passes, some more shots, and this will be a hec of a journey.
Its unfortunate that the Refs at time spoil the party, and give cotton candy to the opponents, or just decide to give a 2nd yellow for a bad timing sub – but this is lessons/mistakes we should not repeat and learn from.
We will get a couple of guys for our next game, and as we come along, we will find our Joga Bunito…….
Well done lads!!

For the wonderers:
What is A Zenit? – In general terms, the zenith is the direction pointing directly “above” a particular location…way up in space…which illustrates, in my mind at least, our potential.
Dinamo Zenit – Our Dinamo Club was born out of establishing an Eastern European attitude ( clean, free of routines/set plays etc) in the Western sector of the world, so all of our teams have that East’ European (RED) flavor……
