i would highly suggest you watch finish this video clip before you carry on reading what I am going to blog about below.

with great honour, i was invited by planet football to a private close door futbol session on tuesday late night with e world greatest futbol freestyle, jeon kwon aka JK from korea. i couldn't believe i would have e rare opportunity to stand by his side in real let alone play futbol with him! as in ive been following his futbol videos so closely all these while and now i am playing with him at e cage. our very first conversation was he asking me if i am a japanese as he stared at e "JFA" on my jersey! probably that explained why he didnt give me any chance during e futsal session coming up.

he's kind of a quiet guy but you could see his passion for e game and e effort he has put in to master all e tricks. basically in short, he's extraordinary amazing. after some tricks sharing, together with his manager and a couple of local freestylers, we had an amazing game of our lifes!

well, i think e futsal session needs no detailed write-out. i am e monkey throughout e game although i did well enough to score 1 goal against JK's team! e futsal game was no ordinary game mind you. we could easily get pass one marker from another with simple passing but e world best and e other freestylers had other idea - they would get pass you with their trickery footworks. no direct running but "panna"! i was "panna" aka "lobang" quite a handful of times. during e game, i used whatever way and posture i ever know to defend against e trickeries however it seems like "panna" was meant to cut e traditional defending off and humilated you on e pitch! whenever each successful "panna" was executed, there would be a cheer from e team. in fact, that's what they were trying to do, putting e ball into e net was secondary.

one of e best moves of e night was when i was defending JK from e attack. before i could figure out what his legs were going to do, he has flipped up e ball up to my chest, over my sight, across my 1.78m height body! and that very moment, e entire world seems to have stopped while i motionlessly watch e ball slowly floated over and eventually out of my vision.... cheers followed. i was beaten by JK. it was expected but i couldnt describe e real-time feeling when that moment happened merely just 3 seconds thingy. amazing.

never going to leave e night without a photo taken with JK. i think right after this session, my admiration of this freestyler has increased, going to follow his videos even more closely from now on. in e meantime, gonna master more trickeries before e next such invitation comes again!
