BBF had a chat with Chiam Termin (TM) of Ztec 8cers who shared his insight of the match:
BBF: BBF reckon this is one of your biggest game. But seems like you had an easy win in the end. What was the strategy and what did you expect out of Inne?
TM: Yeah we knew it was a big game as they have some quality players and an experience goalie. As for the strategy, we wanted to start early and get the goals. We also planned to play a tight game and move the ball around. I think after watching the team video, the passing was good just that the pace was terrible. haha.. The slowest game in the league so far I would say.
BBF: What do you think is the strength of Innebandy and what do you think is their weakness?
TM: Personally and honestly, their strength lies in their goalie.(no offence to anyone). Goalie have a good game, the team have a good game, goalie has a bad game the team has a bad game. We could see that their goalie(Lin Ken) was on top form on that day and the forwards find it hard to score. The more saves he made, the more confident their team got. As for their weaknesses, they do not press high enough. Our defence was barely test that evening.
BBF: You guys have considerably the best defensive line in the league, yet you guys let in a couple of goals. What went wrong?
TM: Hmmm a strong defence line doesn't mean you wont concede goals. The first goal that evening by them was a very good goal. Simple passes, one touch and simple finish. Our forwards failed to fall back to defence causing a big gap in the middle to allow them to pass neatly. The second goal was an error during a change. One of our center make a changed when they had the ball and before his sub could enter to cover the center, their forward(Sam) dribbled th ball in the center and took a shot.
BBF: The league is drawing to a close and you'll be facing the Hawks in your final match. What's your expectation of the game?
TM: We will take that match like any other match. Going in full heartedly and coming out with what ever we can get from it. It should be a nice game to watch as both team has fast players. As for my expectations, a win would be good.
BBF: Lastly, who would you vote as the man of the match for Inne and why?
TM: Without a doubt, Lin Ken their goalie. It would have been double the scoreline without him. However, credit also given to Sam and Des for playing almost 85% of the game.
BBF managed to get hold of Deswyn Wan(DW) of Innebandy!Co. for his views for the match:
BBF: Ztec, presumably the most lethal team in the league. Going up against a team like that, what were your concerns and what were the strategies used?
DW: I think the main concern about playing a team like Ztec is to minimize the scoreline gap at the end of the period. And in order to do that, we have to take their shooters out or at least put some pressure on them. This requires a lot of running, endurance and physical contact, which we may be lacking of. Playing against Ztec is like playing against Japan in the APAC tournament.haha. The strategy for the first period is to not let in any goals, play defensively and to be discipline in our positions. I thought we did pretty well in the first few minutes until some careless mistakes were made. That kinda give them the upper hand to 'climb all over us.' Second period's strategy was just to have fun. Not. Joking joking. Obviously we tried to come back in the second period with more pressure at the top but Ztec's turnover is really fast thus capitalising on the counter attacks. I think our players did their best but they (Ztec) were just better.
BBF: What do you think is the strength of Ztec and what do you think is their weakness?
DW: The strength of the team is pretty obvious, they have individual skills and that contributed a lot to such a performance. What you see is a reflection of our National team. (or at least 60%-70% whether you want to believe it or not) They have good play ups, very creative up front plays and the drive is just there. Wooosshh! Having said that, no team is without a flaw, I guess one of their weakness is sometimes they fumble in their own defensive zone which may cost them some precious goal(s) deficits.
BBF: Relatively speaking, you guys weren't as strong as last year. Is there disappointment or frustration as a team to know that to a certain extent, the standard of the team has dropped? What will be the focus after the league as a team?
Haha!I like this question. I admit we weren't as strong as we were last year. I guess this is much affected by the individual players we have in Innebandy!Co. We have a bunch of skillful and experience players which left the club (with our blessings) and not much exposure were given to the newer players. I guess they do not know what to expect when they stepped onto a 40x20 rink. No teams can escape from feeling frustration and disappointed but I'm really proud that every member in our team played with Insane Courage on court without letting their emotions take over. The focus will never change, it is to keep improving, to be better than who we are today. =)
BBF: Your final match against Dalat. What are your expectations?
DW: To win? haha. I hope to see good plays by our team members and really hope they would have learned from their mistakes from previous games. No more silly goals, to have fun, and hopefully scoring many goals.
BBF: Lastly, who would you vote as the man of the match for team Ztec and why?
DW: In my opinion, the man of the match for this game would be Sjaiful. He was the strong shield in their defensive line. And in addition, he was quick in intercepting and stealing all our balls away and also made a couple of good runs towards our goal.

8cers was on a fly coming into the game hitting 20 a week before while Inne on recovery after a tripped by Spartans. Welcoming back Sjaiful and Hadfiz, it seems that a win and nothing less is expected of them. Inne on the other hand, seems to expected the worst even before the match was played as they started their key men, Des and Sam in defence, and eventually for the whole game.
8cers did dominate the game in terms of possession, shots and passes for both half's, yet they were some what unconvincing. 8cers played literally in Inne's half as they opted to sit back, but the positioning of the forwards were often too high and parallel at times ,which limited the passing options for the defenders with the ball. It was more like a couple passing exercise between defenders, penetrative Floorball that pumped in 20 was no where to be seen!
Considering the difference in strength, Inne played reasonably well, keeping 8cers at bay most of the time. Defence was hugely reinforced the presence of Sam and Des, not to mention they looked threatening on the break as 8cers' libero often caught of guard. In the end, it took a few mistake, a brilliant back pass and two pair of tired legs for Ztec to seal the match.
With the amount of talent at their disposal, much was expected from the Z-lacticos, beautiful Floorball they played but not as clinical and deadly as we would have expected. Yet, a win for 8cers nevertheless and a step closer to the podium. As for Inne, they did put up a good fight but 3 excellent players is not enough to last a league, the team is still unfinished business.
MoMs:
Mind you, we did tried and tried hard we did in trying not to pick Sam but...
Although his team mates efforts were nonetheless significant as well, like his partner, Des forays which lifted some pressure off their half and Lin Ken's tipping off the near goals. But how can we not the defender who ran tireless all around, intercepting and blocking shots, laying passes and lobbing long balls initiating counters, not mentioning lasting the whole 40 mins!! The defensive lynch pin for Innebandy was ever present, minimising 8cers's damage to a mere 5 when 15 was predicted.
Ztec were uninspired for the night but one player in particular caught the eye. Sjaiful.
The defender was top notch playing the libero and was the heart beat of 8cers for the night. With the whole team pushing up high, he was the main man with the ball, dictating Ztec's offensive flow. At the same time, he was the last man against Innebandy's counter attack, using his experience and skills to neutralise most of the threats, other than the odd 2.
