The Lions future is looking good
Lions,
[SIFL] Beavers 2-5 Shanghai Lions FC
Last Saturday we played the Beavers interesting game from many aspects! Good to see Thomas coming back from injury. From the start we created chances, we got 10 corners and 7 free kicks and had about 80 pct ball possession and a great miss from Charles which will be in the Lions history books (The definition of a great miss = when its more difficult to miss than to score) / Football is like that if you fail to score the opponent will take their one and only chance and punish you (Bayern M – Chelsea / sounds familiar right ??) / That’s whats happened and we were losing 1-0 against the last in the SIFL /
During the half time speech it was made clear that if you don’t want to finish an attack you will not score and there is no point playing football / Freek had to step on Charles toe (almost broke) it to make it clear to the Lions. If you drink a bottle of Latife you will finish it right ? And if you are busy with your girlfriend you don’t stop half way you want the bang at the end (sorry young lions…. you can skip this part) right ?
So definitely our Belgium penalty missing star Alain Mandale got the message as he scored three goals and Jerome showed how to take a penalty ! 5-2 win and all eyes our know on our biggest game of the season next Saturday the semi SIFL Cup final vs Shooters at 1100 at Tianma !
[Friendly] Youth Lions vs Senior Lions
On Sunday, we organized our 1st Lions vs. Lions friendly game at Century Park. Great formula to give a chance to young players aged between 15-18 years to get a taste of the what it its to be a Lion.
We had 19 youngster and we can proudly say that we now have a “Young Lions” team to secure our future.
We will organize 4-6 games for them against internationals school, or Chinese and Japanese teams per season and really talented and motivated youngster will be allowed to train with us. Their next game will be in September !
After the game we all went to Latina (our Sponsor) to have a great lunch and dinner, which was just great! We were honored to meet the new baby lions of Jilles CD, who will come back in Sept…
Its great to be a Lion ! Lets get the results we want this weekend ! It will be massive !
Cheers,
Freek Boelen
