I’m My Own Press

As the alarm clock went off, I jumped out of bed. The Media can’t be late for this game coverage. U.N.C.L.E. said Captain Chin wanted all to report to Cage at 7.45am and so said the clock while I was at the last junction, waiting for the light to change. With my stomach growling, I bluffed myself that the reporting time referred to players only and not me. So I bought my breakfast before driving my way in, praying that they (our team) won’t KO without me. Spotting Chin, I quickly found out that Biao Shu has just reached with U.N.C.L.E.

Raphael was keeping goal at the other end, and he came all the way up to try his luck against Biao Shu, which nearly resulted an open goal at the other end. Just after the hour mark, Chin tried his luck next against Biao Shu, making it 4-1. St
