Mid-Season Report - The Dark Horses

The Dark Horses


PERFORMANCE: When you saw the list of players for the team, you knew that this talented bunch of youngsters would set a high level of expectations and achieved them admirably. Beating all teams but one in front of them, you could see that they really attained a high level of performance by playing swashbuckling attacking football, augmented with mediocrity of other teams. The only blip on their unbeaten run was a creditable draw against Warung Din Selamat FC. People said that it was down to luck in their game which was foolish to describe the way this band of performers play. A high tempo offensive play with supports from full-backs position is their most effective trademark with most opposing teams being asked questions frequently with their defence tested and tormented. Can they ever be beaten?

CAPTAIN: Mohd Azri Adnan a.k.a Poey- This charismatic young player had compiled the most potent attacking line-up in history of PSL. Top scorer so far with three goals in his name, he showed maturity in the central midfield position by conducting TDH plays with sense of control. Tactically sound, most of his decisions were vindicated with positive results. A true born leader.

BEST PLAYER: Mohd Anwar Rasyid Ahmad- As most of the TDH players are offensively-minded, this jovial guy had something else to offer: versatility. Playing as right-back most of the time, his attacking forays were combined with ruthless defending with tireless backtracking. Generally a team player, he passed well and knew how to position himself optimally. Three clean sheets with a goal enhanced his reputation as well.

UNDERPERFORMER: Sydi Firdaus-Probably a cruel choice to pick from these excellent performers, he had been selected mostly because the lack of end product in his general play. Starting regularly as left winger, he had been expected to cut open the defence with crosses but ineffective in doing so. A crucial winner against Phoenix Bangkit FC was his only major contribution aside from unlimited enthusiasm and high work rate. Hopefully, he would do much better technically in the future.

STARLET: Muhtadii- As most top teams do, TDH lacked young players to drool about. This unknown newcomer made his debut in the last TDH match but looked nervous, overshadowed by brilliance of Ibrahim Nasir. There’s not much to say about the mysterious striker, as he didn’t made much impact in the match aside from spurning chances but showed some good combination play with his teammates, echoing the attacking ethos of TDH.

[PSL] Spot The Ball Contest

All you have to do is guess where the ball is. Let us know by replying to this thread.  In your reply, all you have to do is indicate which number you think the ball was in!

e.g.

Picture 1 : (your answer)
Picture 2 : (your answer)

Picture 1 : WDFC VS TDH

answer: 1

Picture 2: TDH VS BFC

answer:2

Techniques

Although luck certainly plays its part it is worthwhile to carefully choose your spot and not rely solely on chance. Some basic tips to help find that ball include:

• Observe the body language of the players. Considering the ball is the focus of play, where are all the players’ movements directed towards? Has somebody just headed or kicked the ball?
• Notice the eyes of the players. Which way is each of them looking? Do their lines of sight converge on a particular point? Mentally draw a line from each of their eyes.
• Bear in mind distance and perspective. The picture does not show a 2 dimensional scene so be sure to consider the depth of the action. For instance, is the ball nearer the camera than the player?
• Don’t forget that the picture will show a fast moving scene and so some players may be slower to react to the ball than others. The ball may have passed them before their eyes and body have had a chance to react.

Good Luck to Everyone!

Horses gone wild

And our favourite columnist Abdul Hadi Damanhuri just can't let newcomer Mursyeed take the spotlight from him.

FC Rubin Irbid 0-3 The Dark Horses

My apologies for the delay. The last PSL first round fixture before the league break and the questionable transfer window came at the most unfortunate period of time where many of the players (myself included) had exams to think about. However, the league surely must go on as it had been postponed a week earlier thanks to the ‘zero controversy’ incident.

Back to football, this particular last match of the day had a significant ring on it. Held after back-to-back upsets, where the mighty Warung Din Selamat FC humbled by Bugatti FC and Phoenix Bangkit FC had their sweet first victory over Real Benchwarmer, it was eagerly anticipated that there would be a hat-trick of victories for the underdogs. The weather was unbelievably searing hot that day, adding to the immaculate tension on the field and burning spirits in the players.

Rubin Irbid FC suddenly had a shout in the pursuit of the title. Only 3 points separated from their opponents before the fateful encounter, this should be their cue to get a priceless win. Riding high after the memorable win against Real Benchwarmer, they have the momentum on their side. The only concern would be their frustrating inconsistency, which would be a real liability in the title chase.

Will The Dark Horses finally be beaten? That question was popped in everyone’s minds as it was a source of their darkest hope to see the league leader to show that they are mortal and fallible after all.  Invincible in all of the matches been played, their last match against WDS FC offered encouragement that there maybe some chinks on their armors that can be exploited well. Comfortable on the top of the table, they can’t afford to be complacent in this match.

Straight from the beginning, there were some furores over the selection of starting line-up for RIFC. The captain, Mohd Fauzi makes three shock changes, dropping Abdullah Harith a.k.a Yop, Duang and Azlan Shah, all of them were pivotal in their win against RB. The sound bite from the sideline was the decision was made to give the reserves a run-out first and bring in the big guns when TDH would be slightly tired. Whatever it is, this represents a huge gamble that can seriously backfired. In the least, Abdullah Ashraf a.k.a Gorlami, reportedly sought after by BFC, made a start on the right wing.

TDH captain, Mohd Azri Adnan a.k.a Poey also made some significant changes, omitting Mohd Izzat Borhanuddin a.k.a Cardiac from the backline and pushed Anwar Rasyid to the centre-back position. He also shifted Usamah Baderol Alam and Ibrahim Nasir positions, the former as central midfielder and the latter as striker. Other important inclusions were the return of Mohd Hashemi Dahalan as the starting goalkeeper, and a debut for Muhtadii, filling in the boots of Mohd Imran Zainal Abidin as a striker, partnering Ibrahim Nasir. Although there were many changes for both teams, TDH was still stronger on paper with their spine of the team still intact.

The first-half starts with cautious proceedings, the ball knocked mostly in the midfield area. As the match unfolds, TDH had the upper hand as they stepped up the gear in their play. Ibrahim Nasir was the main perpetrator, teasing the defence and tear them apart time and again with intelligent runs and good close control of the ball to create chances for Muhtadii, who guilty for missing several gilt-edged chances. RIFC seemed lack of ideas in final third as they easily were snuffed out by TDH imperious defence. Then, the first blood had been drawn courtesy of a corner from Dzofir Zolkepli, which headed in by Usamah Baderol Alam, taking advantage of the opposing defence’s loose marking. RIFC responded by sending in Abdullah Harith as a striker, searching for an equaliser before halftime to ease the pressure on them but to no avail.

Azlan Shah and Duang were drafted in for the second-half, bringing urgency and the danger factor to RIFC plays. For a while it worked as Hashemi Dahalan was peppered by shots, engineered by the effervescent Abdullah Harith. However, the calm goalkeeper was up to the task and some brilliant saves bailed his team out. Of course the TDH didn’t only sit back on their lead as they responded in counterattack movement in their most impressive performer, Ibrahim Nasir who plucked the long ball from the air and placed his shot past the on-rushing goalkeeper, Mohd Fauzi. With the two goals lead and the game effectively over, TDH brought in their reserves which added insult to the injury as Syed Ahmad Izzat a.k.a Macheda , picking up a pass from Mohd Halfi Mustafa, supplied a chance ball to Amirul Aiman who responded with a quality effort, a curling shot from the edge of the penalty box  to the bottom right corner.

MY MAN OF THE MATCH: Ibrahim Nasir- it was a close contest actually with Hashemi Dahalan cool performance, Usamah tireless dribbling and Anwar Rasyid solid defending but in this majestic display by this young striker, there could be no one else deserved such accolade. Practically a menace to the opposing team’s defence, he really tormented them with his agility, brilliant first touch and intelligent distribution.

RUBIN IRBID FC VERDICT: Utterly unpredictable. The line-up decision was backfired easily as they got a drubbing from the league leaders. They really had the talents to challenge for the title but inconsistency and naivety would be their main vices.

THE DARK HORSES VERDICT: A resounding win for the title favourites. This is a flawless victory with their strength shown and weakness seemed not existed. 13 points out of possible 15 showed that they could easily crowned champions by third match of the second round if there are no changes to the team. That could be their only Achilles heel: transfer window.

SUPERB SUPER-SUB: Other than reserves that involved in the third goal, TDH brought out their substitute goalkeeper, Khairul Anwar Ibrahim to play as left wing if not mistaken, sporting no 7 jersey, completing a great day out for the league leaders. He showed great enthusiasm in supporting TDH attacks, with cheers from the sidelines. That just sums it up about TDH: even their goalkeepers are dangerous.

[PSL] Bugatti Fc 2 - Warung Din FC 1 Highlights

'Internal Crisis?What internal crisis?' - WDS FC Left Back Sophee Gani responded to reporters after being asked is there any internal crisis that cost WDS FC match against Bugatti FC.

What the papers say...

Although everybody is keeping their tabs on African Nations Cup,our own correspondent from Bugatti FC,Mursyid Omar busying him self about PSL.Keep reading...

Ashraf Marwan’s not leaving!

That was the response of PBFC captain Abdul Munir Sanusi, also known as Mun among the locals during a post-match interview last week. He completely disses rumours saying that the midfielder wants to move to another club, particularly leaders the Dark Horses.

“Acap Marwan and I have a great understanding on and off the pitch. He enjoys playing for PBFC and he still has the belief that we are in with a good chance in PSL.” Said the captain who hails fromTeluk Intan, Perak.

Defender Marwan Hadiid shares the same opinion with his captain and he’s unhappy about rumours spread by the locals.In an interview outside PBFC’s training camp near Noor Mina Saloon (not to be confused with Nur Amina of Nur Kasih series) he said:

“I will not hesitate to give a karate chop to people who kept saying that Acap Marwan is going to leave this club. Don’t think I hold a Black-belt in karate for nothing. As one of the founder of this club, I will do everything within my power to make sure Acap Marwan stays at this Club.”

On the other hand, Acap Marwan is still uncertain about his future.

“It’s a tough decision to make. Obviously TDH wants me and I cannot deny there’s a big temptation to play for a big club like them, but I still love PBFC because this is where I developed my technical skills and my reputation. I think I’ll just wait and see what happens in the future,” said the midfielder in a private interview outside his apartment.

Ashraf Marwan’s transfer saga continues and definitely pundits and locals will a lot to say when the final decision is made.

No more TDH for Ilmam Mukhlis?

There’s a speculation about TDH’s Left-Defender Ilmam Mukhlis impending departure from TDH. We tried to get an interview with TDH’s captain and star-midfielder and this was the 19-years old had to say:

“Mu Mu has expressed his desire to leave, but until we find a like-for-like replacement for him, he’s not leaving. I’m thinking about replacing him with Acap Marwan of TDH, but you know PBFC won’t let him go that easy, so maybe cash-plus-player transfer is just what we need to bring him to this club”

We tried to get an interview with Ilmam Mukhlis but he seems to avoid media attention surrounding him at the moment.

Will the deal finally broke? Will there be any sensational transfer in PSL this season? Or the January transfer window will be as silent as in other leagues around the world this moment? Let’s wait and see guys!

Mutiara Kata

Assalamualaykum wbt kepada semua.

Terutama kepada semua peserta dan pemain PSL 09/10. Seperti yang kita semua sedia maklum, liga PSL ini merupakan satu program anjuran PERMAI yang punyai beberapa matlamat yang ingin dicapai.

Kita perlu sedari dan fahami bahawa pastinya program yang sebesar dan se'grand' PSL ini memerlukan tenaga kerja, usaha dan pengorbanan yang selari besar untuk menjayakannya. Masa, wang dan tenaga sudah pasti telah banyak dicurahkan oleh mereka2 yang menggerakkannya. Bermula daripada pengarah, timbalannya, AJK-AJK sehinggalah kepada penyelenggara blog PSL ini.

Tiada upah yang mereka terima, tiada ganjaran yang menanti mereka. Namun mereka teruskan jua segala gerak kerja mereka dengan ikhlas. Dan sedarilah, mereka jua adalah pelajar seperti kita semua. Mereka jua adalah teman-teman kita.

Namun, di sebalik menjadi pentas bagi para peserta menunjukkan bakat, mengasah kemahiran dan mengejar piala impian, sudah pasti ada matlamat yang lebih besar untuk dicapai daripada pihak penganjur PSL. Matlamat yang menjana tenaga mereka, yang menggerakkan mereka walau dalam keadaan yang memaksa.

UKHUWWAH. DISIPLIN. KERJASAMA

Itu antara matlamat utama yang diharapkan. Dan di atas satu dasar yang lebih unggul. LILLAH TAALA. KERANA ALLAH.

Itu yang menjadi pembeza kita. Semua orang mampu untuk mencapai segala matlamat yang ditetapkan dalam segala perancangan mereka, namun KEREDHAAN ALLAH hanya dapat dicapai oleh mereka yang berhajatkan sahaja.

Dan saya yakin semua yg terlibat dalam PSL kali ini jika ditanya pasti akan bersetuju untuk mencapai matlamat ini bersama-sama. Namun berapa ramai yang mampu merealisasikannya, jika ingin dinilai daripada perlakuan kita.

Pergaduhan, saling menyalahkan, tidak mampu menahan sabar, mengadu domba, tidak jujur, dan menyuarakan rasa tidak puas hati dengan cara yang melampau-lampau antara beberapa 'dugaan' yang mampu merencatkan matlamat ini. Dan ya, ia sering berlaku.

Saling bekerjasama, saling bertolak ansur, saling memaafkan. Hormat-menghormati antara teman   mahupun 'lawan', dan tolong menolong, semua ini perlu di'padang'kan. Bukan hanya gagah dituturkan. Kerana semua ini merupakan jalan untuk kita mencapai matlamat terunggul kita tadi. REDHA ALLAH.

Adat permainan, setiap minggu, setiap pusingan, setiap perlawanan pasti ada yang menang dan pasti jua ada yang kalah. Namun alangkah manisnya jika kita semua mampu untuk pulang sebagai pemenang. Pemenang di sisi Allah. Kita mampu jika kita meletakkan Allah di tempat yang tertinggi.

Ya, mereka yang bermain keranaNya.

Semoga setiap amalan kita dihitung Alah sebagai ibadah kepadaNya, dan kita semua sentiasa menjadi pemenang di pandanganNya. Wallahuaalam.
