Footy Vlog 2019: Episode 4 Part 1 - The Red Team

In Part 1, we are playing at Sports City Futsal PJ. There are three teams; Red, Yellow and Black.



In this video, I am playing for the Yellow(Kuning) team against the Red team.

The Red team plays futsal with fast movements and rotating roles during the game. For example, rotating the pivot to target man roles. That creates slight unpredictability in their futsal movements.

The Yellow team, the team that I'm playing in, had a decent game. We played some possession and some triangle football moments. However, we struggled against the fast-paced Red team, which caused our futsal positions to be conflicted. Despite that, the Yellow team still create goal-scoring opportunities but were not be able to convert them.

Watch the action in Part 1.

Malaysian Super League 2019: Selangor vs PJ City - Last Home Game!

Last home game of the season in Shah Alam, kicked-off at 9 pm.

First Half

The first 45 minutes were a close game. Neither team gave too much space.

PJ City were well-organised and discipline as a unit. Namely their two defensive midfielders contain the home side's attack most of the time.

That allow little space for Selangor's playmaker, Enderick, to create through passes for Ifedayo.
Selangor, on the other hand, were focused in closing the gaps, allowing little chance of counter-attacking from the away side, PJ City.

Second Half

The away side had to go for it. Deploying more players upfront, about 4-5 players near Selangor's goal.

The home side maintain ball possession in second half. Took charge of the game, tiring the away side.

However, as in previous games, the home side seems to have lapse in concentration in the last 15 minutes of the game.

Conceding goals were a concern for Selangor and literally sums up their campaigne.

Thankfully, that didn't happened tonight.

The game ended

Selangor 3-0 PJ City

Footy Vlog 2019: Episode 3 Part 4 - Lapse of Concentration Nearly Costs Us

Hey guys,

We're in Part 4 of Episode 3 Footy Vlog, a vlog about football or soccer. But first, a quick recap on Part 3. Some wonderful goals were scored in the previous part. It came to me as a surprise to saw that wonder goal!

Part 4 is about reaching the finishing line. All the three teams compete for at least an hour in SportsCity Futsal PJ court with breaks in between. Some futsal players start to feel fatigue, which affects their first touch and also on the futsal team's composition, which are the Red(Merah), Yellow(Kuning) and Black(Hitam) teams.

Footy Vlog 2019: Episode 3 Part 2 - The Three Teams

Hey guys,

We're in Part 2 of Episode 3 Footy Vlog. But first, a quick recap on Part 1. We did a quick tour on the Sports City Futsal PJ (Petaling Jaya) futsal court during the warming-up.

Part 2 provides highlights of futsal from the red(merah), yellow(kuning), and black(hitam) teams. I'm playing in yellow(kuning), a decent futsal team with the right balance of futsal attacking and defending strategies and formation.

It's a great way to learn from each futsal teams on how to play futsal better.

I'm also amazed at how the black(hitam) team plays, how they apply their passing and soccer skills in their futsal attacking and defending strategies.

Top Transfer/Player Analysis 2019: Aaron Wan Bissaka to Manchester United

Hey guys,

Here's another top transfer signing made by Manchester United, Aaron Wan Bissaka on a five-year deal for £45m plus £5m in add-ons. The best young player for Crystal Palace.

Who is Aaron Wan Bissaka?

He is a former Crystal Palace player as a right back with 42 appearances, season 2016-2019.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka key stats for season 2018-2019 as a right back.

He also represents England U21 and involved in the European Under 21 Championship. But unfortunately, England failed to qualify to the next round. 

Why Manchester United Need Him? 

A little background, Man Utd have been struggling in their defensive line for season 2017-2018, conceding 54 goals that's absolutely abysmal. 

Their main problem at their defensive line were the right back and the centre back. 

The second issue is Manchester United under their new manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs transfer signings of players that are young, ambitious and hungry to play for one of the biggest football club. 

So, Aaron Wan Bissaka fits into Manchester United's transfer description. 

The most intriguing stats I find above is 90 Most Take-Ons Completed. 

Why is the Most Take-Ons Completed important? 

This means that the football player, Aaron Wan Bissaka, is brave and willing to take the football opponents on. 

For the past six English Premier League(EPL) seasons, Manchester United have been more tactical in their approach on opponents. The players are more cautious with their passes and movements, which diminishes their confidence to take-on players. 

Until Ole Solskjaer takes-over as caretaker manager on 22 December 2018. Manchester United's football philosophy have gradually changed, current players mindset have gradually change and more willing to take-on the opponents. 

That explains why Wan Bissaka's take-ons ability is crucial and fit into Manchester United's new football philosophy, playing the United Way. Along with Daniel James, I hope for more players of this type in future transfers. 

Two Potential Football Strategies and Formation

We have the current formation with the current football players. 

The Traditional 4-4-2 

Wan Bissaka will play a typical right back. A straight forward approach, expecting him to make full-back runs and providing crosses to the forwards, Rashford and Lukaku.

The Diamond 4-3-3

Looks weird? Here both players, Matic and Wan Bissaka will act as Defensive Midfielder roles. Their aim is to provide extra security to the attacking creative midfielder, Paul Pogba as an example.

The reason is because both have tremendous interception skills, in particular, Wan Bissaka has 84 Most Interceptions. That's a crucial attribute for a defensive midfielder.

Another important attribute is the take-ons. The take-on means a player willing to run and get past at their opponents. as mentioned above, Wan Bissaka has 90 take-ons completed. His skill could become useful in creating space and involve in one-two movements.

That's about it. Be sure to check out my footy vlog.

Have a good day!
