Sunday morning pickup game (13:7)

Last Sunday marked the final game of the season, and I did not plan to play football again. However, I recently bought new cleats and wanted to test them out. The game was just a casual skirmish, which worked perfectly for me since I planned to go to the gym with Martin later in the afternoon.

The new cleats are Nike Mercurial Vapor 14 FG MDS. While I already have the Vapor 15, I am not a big fan of them, so I specifically looked for this older model, which I also have in the SG version and really enjoy.

Note

I played on the white team with Scott, Petros, and others. We used small goals, creatively made from blue trash bins. From the start, we dominated the game and were leading 4:0. I focused on passing initially and waited for the right moment to score.

Once I got my first goal, everything clicked, and I finished the game with 4 goals and 3 assists. Not bad, especially considering I was playing with brand-new cleats. The highlight was my fourth goal: a shot from long distance, around 25 meters, straight into the small goal!

Generally I took it easy, because of planned gym in the evening. Also great is that the new cleats did not make me any blisters!

Workout together with Martin

Had a great workout focused on arms, as my legs were still tired from the morning football game. The plan was to finish within an hour, but we ended up working out for about 1 hour and 15 minutes and accomplished quite a lot in that time. As a reward, we enjoyed the spa and pool afterward. This time it was completely empty.
