Juventus V Real Madrid | What I Think

First of all, I am a Madridista. But when it comes to things like this I really wanna look at the picture objectively without being biased to Real Madrid. So here's what I think about the match.

Real Madrid played horribly for a semi-final stage against a team that some say should have been defeated by Monaco in the quarter-finals (no offence to Juventinis but that's true). The passing was not all that good in midfield. In fact if anything, I think Real Madrid are being really really sloppy with their possession.
One of the things that played badly for Real Madrid in this match is Ramos' position. I know Ancelotti played him in the midfield and I know it has been successful for a couple of matches before but this time it really just isn't right. I think having Ramos in midfield could be really good when it "works out" but in this match I don't think it did. Sergio Ramos isn't really that guy in midfield with the vision and the passes if you get what I'm saying. He missed a few passes and it would seem that he isn't in the same wave length as his teammates in some occasion. Although at least you would expect him to be a valuable asset in defence, I think it also wasn't his day when it comes to that.
Anyway, a great goal from Ronaldo and that single away goal might be a huge lift in the Bernabeu.

Juve played a really really great game. I admire their discipline in defence and their counter-attacks, They were playing the kind of game that Madrid should be playing that night. The first goal was a decent one. Even though I'm a little bit crossed by who scored it. Hehe. But the second one, emm, not so. I mean, don't get me wrong. I agree with referee Atkinson's decision to point at the spot. I just couldn't really accept the fact that it all started by Marcelo's shot (I believe) and it got deflected by Juve's defence until it magically reached Tevez's foot. It was the most silly of starts but whatever, still a goal and I can't argue with it.
After their second goal, Juve's defence did a really great job in defending Real Madrid's attacks. It was really hard to find an opening there. When Juve was countering, most of the time you only see 3 Madrid players at the defence before more comes as reinforcement. But when Madrid was countering, man, Juve's got like 6 people already there so it's so hard to find an opening.

Nonetheless, it wasn't the worst outcome for Real Madrid even though it should've been better. There's still a lot to look forward to in the Bernabeu. For Juve fans out there, please don't look up too much. We're notorious for our last minute plot twists so don't let your guard down...

Speech Script: Being an Introvert

Hey, Guys. I thought I'll share another speech script today. I used this script when I was competing in a competition held by a Senior High in Bantul, Yogyakarta Special Area. I got 1st in that competition so I think this one is pretty good. And I also wanna say that in this speech script I slipped in a little personal story of mine. So it's gonna be a little hard if you're going to copy it haha... So here you go. I’ve always felt that I’m different compared to most people. At least compared to most students in my school. On break time, they like to gather in groups and gossip about someone or chat about the current trends. I prefer not to. If I necessarily have to get involved in a group chat outside my class, I always try not to do the unnecessary. Not to talk too much. Some people say that I’m shy and weird. Some even say I’m arrogant and antisocial. The truth is, I’m an “introvert”. So ladies and gentlemen, the honourable judges, and my fellow competitors, this morn...

Do you take notes in class?

Hi! It's been a hell of a long time, hasn't it? But here I am, finally back again. You know those people who make Blogs, writes on them, until they finally get either tired or bored or busy and their Blog gets deserted like the most quiet part of the Sahara? Well the first time I decided to make this Blog I was determined to not become that type of person. Anyway, I'm not really into a deep, philosophical talking right now. I'm in a more of a trivial mood if there even is such a thing. And in having this mood, a question just hatched at the top of my head. Do you take notes in class? I mean seriously. Do you take notes when you're studying or do you make notes of what your teacher writes on tho front board? Because I do. But I never revisit my notes. I have a number of friends that like to take notes of everything that has been either spoken or written in class. Some of them even go to extensive methods when it comes to note-taking e.g. buying expensive statione...

Fear & The National Finals

Fear. That thrilling sensation triggered by your brain that goes down your spine and from there, it swarms every centimetre cubic and square of your flesh and skin. That unsettling feeling translated into a consistently rapid heartbeat. It's one of those set of letters that you definitely don't want engraved in your mind. It's that thing that you don't want infecting your thoughts and ideas. It is the very embodiment of "not good". And those words above are probably an exaggeration. But let's be honest, some of it is definitely true and worth nodding your head towards. Whilst I am writing this blog, I am feeling fear. It has little to do with the blogpost itself. But it has everything to do with the Junior High School's national finals that is to be conducted on Monday, nationwide throughout the whole Indonesian archipelago. And you might wonder, what's so frightening about an exam? I mean, towards a certain extent, and to some people, it is sl...
