I think one of my favourite parts of playing football is forging profitable partnerships with my teammates. It makes the game much more enjoyable knowing that you have an almost psychic connection with at least one player out there on your team.

I used to have a good connection with Alex until he tore his knee ligaments and stopped playing football for the forseeable future, currently in the medicine team I share a good understanding with Jipson whenever we two play together, and even less so with Samuel, who does most of the instructing to me when we play on the left flank.

Most recently during weekly football at RI on Saturday, I played with Malik, or Manik, didn't quite catch which letter it was, in the same team for once. His play reminds me of Cristiano Ronaldo, needless to say he was the go-to guy whenever we started attacks. It was a real joy playing football with him on my side cos we could find each other really well and with him as the left-winger and me as the striker, we reaped about 3 goals or more and carved out many other chances with Wilson in the picture several times as well.

Some people find great joy in football going on blazing, unstoppable runs, some find that in scoring tons of goals, some get the same feeling by assisting others, or even producing a fabulous tackle, or making unbelievable saves. I think forging great partnerships with players ranks right up there with the rest of them.
