My Best Football Moment!

I’m a Chelsea fan.

Now, Chelsea is coming to KL, of course I need to blog about them!

Read My Best Football Moment!

This moment goes back to the day when I have Bio for my mid-year exam but I put Chelsea VS Man UTD in the Champions League final as my priority, each gunning for the ‘holy grail’ in the world of football. And yes, I sacrificed my sleeping time for the sake of supporting my team, my mom even nagged me for not focusing on my studies. But I know,  I’m going to do whatever I could to offer them my support, which is what a typical Chelsea fan will do.

It’s hard to refresh my memory, remember once, Chelsea had lost to Manchester United in the penalty kick out. It’s heart-breaking, it’s heart-wrenching, and it’s such a pain. Thinking back of the match where two of the shots almost call it a winning game but then it got bounced back by the crossbar, the game is being brought into penalty kick-out.

Anyway, I hold my breath, I watched the players such as Ballack, Lampard, Cole, Beletti, Ronaldo, arguably the best player at that time, missed the penalty. And in just one shot we could sealed the game, winning our first ever Champions League Final, the ‘holy grail’. On coming was my idol, the Mr. Chelsea, John Terry. He’s the one who brought the club to this stage, and he could won the trophy for the club. Just one more shot. My heartbeat increased to the maximum level.

One…Two…Shot! For the split of one second, I saw Van der sar ( Goalkeeper) jumped to wrong side, the ball was heading to the right! It’s going in! IN! IN!

Then came a big ‘bang’. The ball hit the goalpost, and yes, again. The club lost the penalties.

Totally heart-breaking for me to endure such a cruelty in life. But we have reached so far after all. In which we went on to claim the runner-up medal.

This may not define the BEST FOOTBALL MOMENT properly. But to me, yes, the best moment I could ever get. In which I could see the tears flowing from the supporters and players, and me too. Realised that winning is not everything, but to stand tall even we lost the game. Deep inside, I knew, we will come back again next season, because IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!
