What a difficult game that was, basically for fact of have been playing just 2 days ago against Maroubra.
Tough and contested game, that the reds have won for conviction, resilience and patience
With this victory, Pagewood will face the finals as a winner of the regular league, having 4 more points than the eagles with only one game to play for each team. Congratulations for the effort of a team that lately was fighting on his limits.
Hesitant start and 1-0
Pagewood started tired. Slow, a sleepy giant, hesitant and without a clear idea about what to do. Certainly, Olympic found more spaces in the midfield, although that they used as a standard resource, the long ball. Nando with the n10 and a tall and skilled strikers where the highest danger for the eagles. In the first 10 minutes they played to close to Ian and George in the CB. Sam had to save the team in a few occasions...the ball was closer and closer until that in some point it happened. The catch our defence out of position and for speed and power the end up facing against Sam, who couldn't stop the ball. 1-0 and now time to play against the score
More heart than definition but slowly coming back...
The team recomposed very well after the goal, and started to play with a little bit more of control. Ross started to show himself a little bit more, Marco and Carlos where all fight but no resolution. They where paying the toll from friday's game.
Kenny and Ross started to provide them with nice passes, leaving them with a chance to score, but none of them was lucky enough today. On the positive side though, the defence was more positioned now, and players like Vlad, Kenny or Ross where taking more control of the possession.
Deserved penalty, 1-...ooops 0 still
Trough that control in the midfield, having in Cam, the war dog, that blocked Nado's game, giving and allowing Ross to have plenty of room for play the team was starting to show more consistency when in possession, from there, in a combination between Carlos and Marco, who both where fouled inside the box, the ref blow a penalty for the reds. Just before the half time. Carlos was the men. He took the last one. His shot this time hit the bar, just in the right corner, the keeper was totally beaten, but the ball was to high. Unlucky and with a bad taste, we went to the half time with a feeling that we could do more.
All the roads lead to Rome.
With only one sub, and every player in the field except Foff having played 90 min just 1 day ago, the reds decided that the best way to end this game was dying in the pitch, under the sun, like gladiators. From there, and with Jason ahead, everything can happen.
Kenny starts a drive from the midfield, beating players here and there, he waits for the right time, and the right moment, to open a deep ball in the right wing, there Marco, that knew what was going on with Kenny, waited for the right time to to cross a first touch pass inside the box for Jason. Olympic CB was caught just 10cm forward, disabling his chance to stop the chance. With a 1-2 touch, Jason scores the equaliser in, again, the first 15min of the second half. Crane 15 goals. The men.
Offensive Compulsive Obsession.
The legs are heavy? Fine
We don't have more than 1 sub? Fine
We start loosing? Fine
Just give me the ball and let us play. That was the attitude. Fuck it. Let's go for it. It was looking that the ones that had play friday where the eagles, as Pagewood played the entire second half in the yellow side. A succession of chances but the score, stubborn, was still 1-1.
Ian hit the bar after a corner, Jason and Carlos had his couple of chances too. Vlad, cosmic, as usual, had his chance too, but it wasn't supposed to be. Not yet.
Persist and conquer
Ball in the left side, is Ross,Vlad and Marco doing a triangulation, Vlad the last one to get the ball, starts a conduction shot/cross/kiss the ball that travels describing a parabola, that catch all the defenders in a catatonic state of vegetation, leaving the most dangerous player alone. Coming from behind, like a rhino, Jason is here. For score, for the league, for the first position, for the 1-2!!!!!
A great team play goal, like the 1-1, product of the team attitude and ambition! It was the perfect end for a great match!

RED: First 15 min
Even when the team was tired and a bit rusty due the accumulation of minutes, the first 15 min where terrible. Olympic could had easy scored 3 goals. This general apathy was not a single thing men, as the 11 players in the field where a bit disconnected
ORANGE: Good attitude when coming under the score
The team didn't drop his head down in the first half after the goal, and all the players looked forward to get the tables back. Without the team at full speed, the ball didn't had a fluid circulation, but instead players adapted to a kind of transition game. A non stop of diagonals and balls at the space. Offensive and ambitious.
Green: Alternatives, and Jason.
The team was able to adapt again to the circumstances. With players on the edge due the fitness, they played a more direct game. Being always offensive, so many different payers are getting involved in the goals, or in the creation of them. The biggest new was that Jason came back to rescue the team in the right time and moment. 16 goals amigo
Sam 8: Busy. The keeper meet the eagles early in the game. They came all over him and the defenders, after a few saves and chances, Sam was fusilladed in the 1-0. From there he came back and position himself with security. On a much more quiet second half, the keeper dealt with the game much better and confident.
George 7: Collapsed. Tough start in a tough game, he was tested for a brave wave, the eagles played with a higher pressure than other teams in the first 10min. He didn't found his mojo until the 1-0. From there he took control over the defensive line along side Ian. Once he reach that point, becomes almost unbreakable in defence. Played a high level 45min in the second half. Good for get a taste of the finals...
Ian 7: Multiplied. He had to cover to many spaces in the first half, until the team got more control over the ball. He got Vlad's back and moved well the defensive line with George. The general hesitant start, and the 1-0, was a call for the team, and as a captain he dealt with it. Much more compose, he can play more deep when passing, and be the first men to start a build up when in possession.
Vlad 9: Roberto Vladrlos. Typical LB. A guy that plays with the left, in the left. Bingo. He also has the capacity to take the full length of the field with his 3 lungs pack. Classy and imaginative with the ball on the pitch, contributes to keep a fast ball circulation. His shot-pass-hans super-dry in the last moment of the game, end up being a big moment when the Crane scored the 1-2. 90min of fighting.
Foff 7: Maharbal. Like the ancient lieutenant of the general Hannibal Barca, this bearded men covered his generals very well. Once the team was more connected, he kept the right side linked with the rest of the team. Positive in defence with good tackles, positioning and pressing. With Vlad always pushing up, he was the last men to close the field with George and Ian..
Ross 9: Fucking aye. The eagles nightmare. They know him, they know who is he, but they can't stop him. With electrical skills, and a perfect vision he put so many dangerous balls for the strikers. Cam covered his back today so the scottish had much more space to run and have fun. Mush more fresh than other players, he commands and masters the team passing system, being able to play short, long, or deep.
Cam 8: Battleship. Cam's performance today was something to be taught in the schools. His tactical role was to sweep everything that was coming behind Ross, but also organising the team by distributing the ball, always short, and picking the right option when passing. he had to dance with Nando, and he did a passo-doble with him. Intelligent game, for the DMD.
Kenny 9:Crafty. Another player that is becoming more and more important in this team, as he has a endless set of tricks. Since fast conductions with the ball stacked on his foot or untraceable passes. The first goal start from his ideas and execution, and he break the right wing with so many dribblings, crosses and others. Ready to take responsibilities in the finals
Jason 9: Jasonosaurus Rex. Defending his line or pressing in attack, he will always bite and commit to the end. The end today was an apotheosis goal in the last minute of the game. A championship goal, as let Pagewood be the lonely leader in the ladder. Curios case this one. With less games than the last year, and playing so many games far away from the goal.....he already got 16 goals this season. Pumped for the finals.
Carlos 7: Shy. After a huge effort friday, the colombian did another exhausting game, where he pressed as usual but without the luck of the goal. He had a few chances to score today, including one from the 11 meters, but the penalty when to the wrong spot. A lot of good intention but less realisation than usual. Far from a bad game tho
Marco 7: Molten. He started the game with a collecting bad controls, passes and touches, although that in the second half he showed some improvement. His legs where heavy today after friday's game. Ross supplied a magisterial pass in the first half that he didn't even hit. The ref disallowed the 1-1 for an hypothetical fault over the keeper. Assisted in the 1-1,
Pat 7: Regulator. As well, tired. Instead of waste his energy he act as a regulator in this game. Started a bit slow but once he found his space he always tried to take the best decision. Now passing short, now passing back, now moving forward. Another player that has been playing a lot of good minutes lately. He deserved more in a tough and rough game today.
