Got to interview Geylang United’s Michael King (who once suited up for English side Burnley) who had this to
share about the match with Loyola.
Rick Olivares: Michael,
for what it’s worth, you played well and that was a marvelous goal. I hope that
the strong performance in the 2012 Singapore Cup will see Geylang do better in
the S. League.
Michael King: Thanks! We sure need the confidence.
Rick: How do you
analyze Loyola's game? What do you think of their play?
Michael: They played quite direct with the ball, they had a couple of
tall players who caused our defence trouble all night, so they played on this
and it was effective. Out of possession they worked very hard and got behind
the ball, especially in the first half, which is why so many players were
suffering with cramp, that and the heat of the country of course.
Rick: Who do you
think played well for them?
Michael: I'm sorry but I'm terrible with names. Haha. The tall striker
was a threat against us all night, and the tall centre midfielder was
comfortable on the ball, and found the striker well.
Rick: Were there
any adjustments for Geylang at the half? After 90 minutes?
Michael: I was being marked by two men every time I got the ball in the
first half which is why I moved to striker to try an get more involved in the
game. We didn't change too much though, as we were creating chances. We just
didn't get the luck we needed on the night.
Rick: Geylang
displayed great sportsmanship. What do you think of your club after the match?
I thought you guys gave a strong performance especially in extra time.
Michael: I
agree. I thought we played well, and with a few differences in the match it
could have been a different outcome. But the only thing that matters in a cup
competition is the result, so we can take nothing away from Loyola. And I wish
them all the best in the rest of the competition.
