Want rest >> Play socceer

Soccer is a great game it keeps everybody involved on and off the field. And if u happen to get injured playing it then the fun(pun intended) extends much longer then expected.

It was my seasons opener, playing six a side with the UnivUnited group on the Police grounds. Well i happen to just play 1-2 practise match per season thats a different story :-)

On a sunny sunday morning the setting was perfect for a some action on the field. There was some dew on the grass. The warm session was little clumsy. I made a couple of rounds of the smaller ground demarcated for this smaller team. And without much ado the match started. it took some time to get my feet and breath in sync.i started passing the ball well around to my teamies. The midfield position was bit taxing, so after a while i went into defense. There was no half-time.We were playing an hour game so a half time idea did not sound chivalrious for the bonds with the boots.

My team was lagging by a goal and we were into last 5 minutes. My energy levels had fallen to the lowest by now. Sudden i saw an oppourtunity to get deep into the opponents half. I took a sprint towards the flying ball, and jumped to tap it into ground so i could the pass of the one of our forwards. That jump could stop by ball,but when i landed on the ground my right foot tripped , partly aided by the dew on the grass, and i twisted my right knee. There i was lying on the ground reeling in pain. Other buddies rushed to the sport helped me with some spray and bending excercise. The match was then called off.

After examination by an orthopedic i was diagnosed with ligament damage.Advised rest for 4-5 weeks with lot of excercises to do to get me back on my feet again.

So the moral of the story is WANT REST, PLAY SOCCER N BEND IT LIKE TARUN
