Playing Opportunity in India?

Played 90 minutes today against ADO 20′ 2, a Topklasse side, so I was up for playing against good opponents! We had a bit of an injury/sickness crisis today and had alot of players missing, so I started the match. Coach started me as a number 6 and my role was to just mark the furthest attacking midfielder. Did okay there, but then the coach switched me to right back because it was difficult for the other players to tell me what to do in that position – in other words, there’s a language barrier. Not really what you want to hear, but I did better than I have done better than any other game today, than in the last month as a right back. There’s still some confusion on who I’m supposed to be marking/me telling someone who to mark, but I made sure I didn’t make any of the mistakes I did in previous games and yeah I think today was a sign I’m getting better in this position. Okay, we lost 5-0 but the opposition were much better than us, they played the ball quickly in attack, lots of 1-2’s and lots of runs, it was real quality teamwork. I think I have also established myself as the free kick and corner taker in the team which gives further reason to start more games now.

Played the second half of the U/23’s game on Tuesday, but that’s hardly worth talking about – it was against a rubbish team.

Trained again on Friday at Damsko – got some papers from Mike which supposedly let me train at Ajax’s facilities tomorrow at 9am. I really have no idea what I’m going to be doing there, but I’m supposed to bring my football clothes with me. I will be with Nico and 1-2 other guys I believe and if I can have a kick around at their famous training ground – that’s gold! Only challenge is that I begin mid terms tomorrow!

Got an inMail message from a guy in India who asked if I was interested in playing in the I-league 2nd division. He’s setting up a team and looking for 4 foreign players. I gave him a call not with the intent of saying I’m interested in playing there (don’t think it’s the right place for me right now 😀 ), but to talk about Moses getting a coaching position there. Shared contact details of him and talked him up a bit so hopefully he’ll give him a call! Fingers crossed.
