[edit] Biography
[edit] Secondary One, A prick in everyone's eyes
Starting off his career as a football player during PE lessons in 2003, Jun Wei was seen as unable to read the game well and making a lot of mistakes. He is careless and unconfident at passing the ball, giving his opposition too much room, and sending shots wide loads of times. However, he was still included in MJR Sec.1F squad before their first derby match against MJR Sec.1E FC, which came as a shock to many, even his teammates, who could not understand why such a blundering liability could even be named in this elite squad. As expected, he blundered far too much during the derby, making defensive lapses and letting in MJR Sec.1E FC's 4 goals, although MJR Sec. 1F FC still cruised to a comfortable 11-4 win, with centre back Woh Yu Ker bagging 3 goals for himself. He was also the first player to acquire a pair of soccer boots,which was a pair of black Nike Total 90 II Versatract.
[edit] Secondary Two, Gaining Confidence
Unsettled in Secondary One, Jun Wei gained confidence in playing football through personal coaching by veteran players such as Yew Guo Lin and Sebastian Koh, and finally netted his first goal off a stunning left footed volley during a training session. Elated, he tried honing his shooting skills,and netted 17 goals in a year for MJR Sec.2F street soccer team. However, his form on the field was no much different from the previous year. Without a goal to his name, and playing at centre and left back, with the occasional inclusion of being a goalkeeper, he blundered more during a tie with MJR Sec.1 Express 2004 FC and became more demoralised. However, that exciting match ended with MJR Sec.2F FC emerging victorious with a 4-2 win.
[edit] Secondary Three, a year full of ups and downs
Following his last match against MJR Sec.1 Express 2004 FC, Jun Wei was feeling down and out. He was not given any starts in 2005, following a merger with other express classes to form a bigger team: The MJR Sec.3 Express FC. Previously, no matter how badly he played, Jun Wei did not face any competition to his spot as there was no substitute for him. Now, he faces new competition in the form of Jerald Kng, a more reliable player at the left back position, and now, he was automatically replaced for Jerald, and stayed on the bench for most of the games. Making a mere two appearances in 2005, with only a total of 4 minutes of playing time for him, as he was introduced late in games, Jun Wei felt frustrated at himself. However, his form in street soccer was still as stunning, a far cry from what is seen of him on the pitch. now netting 37 times in a year for the MJR. 2F street soccer team. At one point, Jun Wei was so demoralised about his performance that he considered hanging up his boots for good. However, some of his team mates still held the belief in him, and gave him tips and personal coaching, and asking him to decide where he want to play in. After careful thought, Jun Wei decided to become a striker. As he is attack minded, he is not suited to a defensive role, and with his speed, agility and ability to score from spots that are nearly impossible, he set out to hone what he lacks: control. Practising juggling a ball at home, he has up-ed a notch in control, although there is still room for improvement.
[edit] 2006: The Big Transfer
However, despite his improved control and skills, Jun Wei was still unable to find a spot in the MJR Sec.3 Express FC in 2006. Frustrated. Jun Wei felt that it was time that he needed a new environment. Later, Jun Wei was scouted by Wesley, a schoolmate of his, of the MJR Graduates FC, a team that MJR Sec.3 express has never played before, but was thought of as one of the best teams in MJR. Jun Wei was one of the few rare players who are left-footed, making him a more deadly striker than right-footed ones. Being a schoolmate of Jun Wei, Wesley tried to persuade him to come over to his team. Jun Wei was hesitant at first, as this current team was his team for nearly four years, and he had forged a bond with them, even if he did not get much to play. Until MJR Graduates FC's captain, Mok Ming Fei, asked Jun Wei personally to join his team, and seeking opinions from his teammates, all felt that Jun Wei should make this transfer, rather than being benched on the current team. With these encouragements, Jun Wei finally decided to make the big transfer to the MJR Graduates FC, and attended his new team's first training session on February 5th, 2006.
[edit] 2006: New Boots, New Team, New Position, New Beginning
Jun Wei changed his soccer boots in November 2005, where he swapped out his old Nike Total 90 II Versatract for a pair of the revolutionary Adidas F50+, in the special colour edition of the one seen in the movie "Goal!", which aided in his control and already blistering acceleration and speed. Making his debut against the MJR Sec.4 Normal Academic FC as a second half substitute for Benny, he did not really deliver well, with only one weak shot on target. The MJR Graduates FC won the game narrowly 4-3. However, being the only left-footed player on the team, his prowness was exploited, this time, not only for shots, but crosses. Both the coach and captain decided to play Jun Wei on a whole new position: The Left Wing. He had never played this position before, and he got off to a shaky start in training, sending wayward crosses which were off target or too low. However, he was hardworking and trained more. In a matter of weeks, he was able to provide better crosses, even under pressure and tight situations, and just in time for the match against the MJR Sec.3 Express 2006 FC.
[edit] First Goal, Confidence booster
On 19th April, 2006, Jun Wei finally got his first start in his new team against the MJR Sec.3 Express 2006, and now in his new left winger position. Once the ball was rolling, Jun Wei was all over the man he was to mark, giving him no room. And when his team was attacking, Jun Wei used his agility and speed to beat the opposition's right back, sending in 4 crosses during the first half, and another 3 in the second half. This was the game that Jun Wei finally netted his first goal since his transfer. His goal came early in the first half after a beautiful cross from Benny from the right. Lurking unmarked at the far post, all Jun Wei had to do was to head it home. His team went on to win 14-7. Since then, Jun Wei has been playing with much more confidence. Although he was plagued by injuries in his dominant foot, the left foot, he was able to recover fast and get back on track, and his hardworking attitude earned him the respect of others on his team.
[edit] Style of play
Jun Wei uses his speed and agility to beat many opposing defenders in his path, and a team might think twice to use a tall and big sized defender to counter his quickness. And despite his height, his aerial prowness is extremely deadly, coming as a surprise to opposition teams. Being attack minded, he would sometimes stay up front, but would still help out in defensive work if needed. His stamina is almost unlimited, you never see him stop running or sprinting for the ball until the whistle is blown. However, he has limited vision, so that might hinder him when man-marking on defence. Also, as he is small in size, he has not much strength. thus he might lose out to bigger defenders when jostling for the ball. Jun Wei also dares to shoot from anywhere he deems possible, even from 20 metres out. Also, he has trained up his right foot considerably as well, thus he can also do some shooting with his right foot, making him a very unpredictable player for opponents.
[edit] Personal life
Jun Wei is a very cheerful person outside football. He can joke with others, and also be a very good listening ear. Some of his friends think he has matured in thinking throughout the years. Surprisingly, Jun Wei thinks otherwise of himself. Besides being active on the pitch, Jun Wei studies hard and maintains a healthy lifestyle, and rarely falls sick. He avoids trouble as much as possible and tries to maintain good relationships with everyone around him.
[edit] Love life
Jun Wei have never had a girlfriend before, which came as a surprise to some, and he doesn't know why they are so surprised. However, he is currently in pursuit of a mysterious girl, believed to be in MJR, which he says that some of his friends already know about it.
