DPMM FC sah sertai Liga Perdana Malaysia

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Rabu - Pengurus pasukan DPMM FC, Pengiran Waslimin (gambar atas) mengesahkan kelab DPMM FC akan mewakili pasukan negara untuk beraksi dalam kancah Liga Perdana Malaysia dan FA Cup musim 2009.

"Kita perlu lebih cemerlang pada persaingan musim baru ini," jelasnya ringkas tetapi penuh bersemangat ketika ditemui di Gadong hari ini.

Beliau mengakui pihaknya telah menerima tawaran dari FAM untuk menyertai kejohanan itu bagi musim 2009.

Kelab DPMM FC ketika ini sudah menjalani latihan secara berterusan bagi meningkatkan keupayaan dan kemantapan pasukan di bawah kendalian ketua jurulatih, Vrejan Simunic dan Mohd Ali Haji Momin selaku penolong jurulatih.

"Selain mengekalkan pemain-pemain lama, kita juga dijangka akan mengekalkan beberapa pemain yang sama-sama beraksi dalam Piala Suzuki AFF di samping mempelawa beberapa pemain muka baru dari kelab-kelab tempatan," ujarnya.

Dalam masa yang sama, DPMM FC juga terus membuka pintu kepada pemain-pemain berminat dari kelab-kelab di Semenanjung Malaysia termasuk dari Borneo untuk menyarung jersi DPMM FC bagi musim 2009 ini.

"Sebelum ini, beberapa pemain dari Malaysia yang berminat telah datang menjalani latihan ujian bersama pasukan. Kita menilai beberapa sudut sebelum menawarkan mereka untuk bermain bersama pasukan kita," jelas pengurus itu.

Antara pemain yang telah ditawarkan ialah pemain lincah Shukur Adan dan Bobby Gonzales dari Sabah dan berhasrat membawa kembali khidmat Jagathan yang pernah beraksi selaku penyerang tengah DPMM FC musim lalu.

Menurutnya, dijangka 4 sehingga 6 pemain akan ditawarkan untuk menyertai kelab DPMM FC dalam memberi cabaran lebih hebat musim ini.

Ketika ditanya status perkembangan mengenai cadangan kelab berkenaan untuk meminta pihak FAM agar mengecualikan pasukannya dari "membawa" pemain import, Pengiran Waslimin menjelaskan setakat ini pihaknya belum menerima jawapan dari pihak FAM.

Bekas pemain pertahanan kental, Rene Kumar dan penyerang berbisa kancah Liga Malaysia, Keita Manjou sebelum ini sudah mengikat kontrak bersama kelab DPMM FC.

"Kedudukan mereka akan diketahui sedikit masa lagi apabila FAM akan mengadakan mesyuarat mereka bagi meneliti dan mempertimbangkan sama ada membenarkan pasukan kita menyenaraikan pemain import lagi bagi musim ini," jelasnya.

Liga Perdana Malaysia musim 2009 dijangka akan membuka tirai pada awal Januari depan.

Indra sah wakili pasukan Kelantan

Oleh AZRAN FITRI RAHIM

Annuar Musa (barisan depan dua dari kiri) menerima surat kontrak daripada Indra Putra Mahayuddin pada majlis Rumah Terbuka KAFA sempena Aidilfitri di Kota Bharu, semalam.

KOTA BHARU - Pemain bola sepak kebangsaan, Indra Putra Mahayuddin semalam sah berada dalam senarai pemain berstatus bintang skuad Kelantan untuk menempuh musim baru Liga Malaysia lebih menyakinkan dan penuh harapan.

Pengumuman mengenainya dibuat oleh Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Kelantan (KAFA), Tan Sri Annuar Musa pada majlis rumah terbuka sempena Aidilfitri persatuan tersebut di Wisma KAFA dekat sini, semalam.

Kedatangan bekas pemain Selangor itu telah melengkapkan pasukan tersebut dalam usahanya menyuntik nafas baru agar skuad Kijang berupaya melompat lebih jauh dan berada dalam lingkungan pasukan elit di negara ini.

Menurut Annuar, Indra telah menandatangani kontrak bersama Kelantan sejak beberapa minggu lalu, namun tidak dihebahkan kepada media kerana memberikan ruang kepadanya untuk menumpukan sepenuh perhatian dalam skuad kebangsaan.

"Kita sengaja tidak menghebahkan perkara ini lebih awal kerana tidak mahu tumpuan Indra yang ketika itu sedang memikul tugas bersama skuad negara dalam Pestabola Merdeka terjejas.

"KAFA amat berharap dengan kehadiran pemain ini akan memberikan suntikan semangat dan melengkapkan pasukan dalam mengharungi cabaran dalam Liga Perdana nanti," katanya.

Sementara itu, Annuar turut mengumumkan, ketua jurulatih Kelantan, Peter Butler sebagai pengurus pasukan yang baru bagi menggantikan Timbalan Presiden KAFA, Ahmad Jazlan Yaacob.

Menurutnya, bekas jurulatih Persiba Balik Papan, Indonesia itu dilihat berupaya untuk memikul tanggungjawab tersebut selain mencorakkan pasukan yang akan dibentuk.

"Kita mahukan satu kelainan sebab itu kita memilih Peter untuk menjawat jawatan sebagai pengurus pasukan yang mempunyai kuasa sepenuhnya.

"Kita tidak mahu berlaku pertindihan atau perbezaan pendapat antara jurulatih dan pengurus dalam menentukan kedudukan pasukan," katanya.

Dalam pada itu, Indra yang baru tiba di bandar ini bersama seorang lagi pemain kebangsaan, Daudsu Jamaluddin optimis dengan keupayaan pasukan barunya ini.

Pemain sayap itu juga percaya gandingannya dengan bekas rakan sepasukan di Perak, Khalid Jamlus dalam skuad Cik Siti Wan Kembang ini mampu memberikan impak yang besar kepada pasukan lawan.

"Kami berdua tidak pernah berbincang mengenai perkara ini (menyertai Kelantan) dan saya gembira sekiranya digandingkan bersama Khalid lagi selepas kali terakhir kami bersama pada 2001 ketika mewakili Perak.

"Saya berazam untuk membantu Kelantan menjuarai Liga Perdana dan membawa negeri ini menyertai Liga Super untuk musim seterusnya selain membawa pulang beberapa piala lagi tambahan pula pasukan ini ialah tempat asal ibu saya," ujarnya.

AFF Suzuki Cup 2008 - Brunei out of competition as Cambodia goes On..

PHNOM PENH (25 Oct 2008) – Cambodia celebrated their qualification into the main event AFF Suzuki Cup 2008 in December when they beat Brunei 2-1 in the fifth and final match day of the qualifiers at the National Olympic Stadium.

With both teams needing to win the tie on the day to make into the next round, it was Brunei who drew first blood through Hardi Anak Bujang in the 44th minute before Cambodia replied with the equaliser through Sam El Nasa a minute later.

But Borey delivered the winning strike in the 73rd minute for the more than 15,000 fans a reason to get to their feet.

“We are happy with the results and of course, making it to the main event of the competition,” said Prak Sovannara, the head coach for Cambodia.

“It was a tough match but I think that Borey has improved tremendously and that made the difference on the day.”

The game started with a curling corner from Hardi which forced Cambodian keeper Ouk Mic to come out for the punch.

Cambodia replied with a freekick from Kim Chanburith but Mohd Wardun Yussof was equal to the task.

The game went into higher gear after that with Brunei’s Mohd Abu Bakar Mahari going wide while Cambodia’s Chan Rithy’s cross was denied by Wardun.

But as the game became to slow down going into the break, Brunei grabbed the lead in the 44th minute with Hardi turning a defender before blasting the ball past the rooted Ouk Mic.

Under pressure from the fans, Cambodia pushed ahead and it took them less than 60 seconds to find the equaliser as Sam nailed the rebound off an earlier shot from Chan Rithy.

The second half saw Brunei playing it a little more cautious while Cambodia kept up with the same momentum.

In the 48th minute, substitute striker Kouch Sokumpheak broke through but his grounder went straight to Wardin instead.

Brunei’s only real chance after the break came off Mohd Subhi Bakir which came off the right post.

But there was no denying Cambodia the win and the full points when Borey picked up a short pass form the middle before putting it past Wardun.

Five minutes to the end, Borey had another chance to wrap the game up but his shot went inches wide in front of an open goalmouth.

“It was not easy to bring up the spirit of the players after the loss they suffered in the last game,” said Vjeran Simunic, the head coach for Brunei.

“But I am very disappointed with the loss today. It was a sad result for me.”

With the win for Laos, it has made the passage for the Philippines for the meet in December a lot harder.

AFF Suzuki Cup 2008 - Late Goal Downs Brunei

PHNOM PENH (23 Oct 2008) – A late header from Saynakhonevieng Phommapanya took Laos a step closer to confirming their place in the next round of the AFF Suzuki Cup 2008 when they beat Brunei 3-2 in the fourth match day of the qualifiers here at the National Olympic Stadium.

With the score tied at 2-2, Saynakhonevieng headed home the winner from the far post to give Laos their second win following their victory over the Philippines in their last match.

“We changed five players for this game and that was probably why we did not play well in the first half,” said Veleriy Vdovin, the head coach for Laos.

“We brought in the regulars after the break and we played much better after that. But I think that we were a little lucky today because if the Brunei team had defended better towards the end, we would have lost.”

With the win today, Laos have picked up six points while Brunei are still on four points going into the last match of the qualifiers on Saturday.

Laos, who had won the qualifiers two years ago in the Philippines, started stronger with Vongphet Sylisay blasting over a cross from Lamnao Singto early in the seventh minute.

But a minute later, Laos took the lead when Visay Phaphouvanin blasted in a goal mouth melee which took a deflection off a defender before sailing into the Brunei goal.

Rattled, Brunei pushed forward and while they totally muffed a double chance off a corner in the 20th minute, they made that up with the equalizer eight minutes later.

Mohd Azwan Saleh floated in a cross from the right for Hardi Bujang to deliver an inch perfect glancing header into the Laotian goal.

With the score level at 1-1 at the start of the second half, Brunei played a more defensive game while Laos piled on the pressure in search of the winner.

In the 53rd minute, Phayvanh Lounglath’s freekick went straight to the arms of Brunei keeper Mohd Wardun Yussof while five minutes later; a header from Lamnao came off the woodwork.

But while Laos was busy trying to prise open their opponent’s defence, it was Brunei who took the lead in the 84th minute when off a cross from Azwan, substitute Mohd Abu Bakar Mahari headed home from the near post for them to be in front for the first time in the game.

Laos maintained their composure and continued to pressure the cagey Brunei defence.

And before long they finally found the equalizer late in the 89th minute when Lamnao picked up a cross from the centre before chipping the ball over Wardun to put the score at 2-2.

With seconds remaining to the final whistle, came Saynakhonevieng’s header which put Laos firmly in the driver’s seat as they look to playing against Timor Leste in the final game of the qualifiers in two days.

“We are very disappointed with the results. We do not think that we deserve to lose this match,” said Vjeran Simunic, the head coach for Brunei.

“We have three players suspended and with this defeat, it is very difficult for us to qualify into the next round.”
