[ Final Line-Up For 7-A-Side Tournament ]
We are 2 weeks away from the tournament and the dateline for the team sheets will be submitted to the organiser this morning. Though we are going into this tournament as our first, my objective focus on the players' to gain match experience, learn and to understand the level of play when participating in the open category.
The selections were finalized based on teamwork and discipline. It was not all about winning or losing, but the friendship and respect one has for the team. Communication with respect towards team members were another factor. While Shaun will be away on holidays, his inclusion in the team was never a doubt. Shaun has been truthful about his participation. Family bonding must come first.
Jason, on the other hand is another good example. It was unfortunate that I have to abide to safety reasons for not being able to field him. I have told Jason that how I wish I could go against my conscience but I have to abide to his family decision. I have spoken to the organiser and Jason will be slotted into the squad if there is any last minute change to his family's decision. Both the organiser and myself respected Jason for his truthfulness on this matter.
Cai Quan has shown perseverence. He will be included in the squad if he continues to train hard and work on his fitness. As the tournament allows only 10 registered players, those that has been included but do not put in consistency towards maintaining their good effort would be dropped. Any disciplinary issues warranting any disrespectful to members and tarnishing the image of the team would be sacked. Any last minute dropped out by individual will also be entertain.
