Kim Yong-Il
After writing him off as too inconsistent for our team, Kim Yong-Il worked hard to show me up.
We were going to win against Ningxia — we knew that coming in. We won decisively, though, putting out a 7-0 total that left no doubt about our abilities.
Kim Yong-Il ended the match with 2 goals and 2 assists, showing me that he really deserves to continue starting on the attacking right winger side of things. He thinks he’s a striker, and I thought he’s a striker, but it turns out that he plays best as a winger. Who would have thought it?
There was no goal for Lee Jin-Yong, though Charlotte seemed happy to see her favorite back on the pitch. We’re going to hold him back until our next home match, after which he should be fit enough to play regularly again.
Records
Our run of good form continues. We’ve scored an amazing 99 goals in only 16 matches this season, and are on pace to break all sorts of records.
It’s not that we’ve only beaten poor teams, either. Beijing University were competing with us for first place at the beginning of the season, and we only beat them by a 2-0 margin. We’ve also had to deal with fatigue issues and everything else that comes with having games every 3 to 4 days.
The scorelines have been impressive. We won one match by a 10-0 margin, another by a 9-1 margin, 3 matches by 8-0 scores, and two more by 7-0. You can add in two 6-0 victories on that list, though it almost feels like an insult once you get to such a meager output by us.
The only close match we’ve had so far was that 3-2 match against Jiangsu. That was the one that convinced me that Wu Ping really wasn’t ready to play at goal for us. He’s back in goal now, though, and looks better than ever.
Zibo
We’re off to Zibo in Shandong Province to play Zibo Qisheng.
Zibo, a semi-professional team, are currently in 8th place. We need to play well if we’re going to keep this run of good form.
