Malam lekak match Sarawak - Pahang, ngam - ngam pukul 12 aku terus bukak wsite FAM. Cek result, kecewa aku menar - menar disappointed. Punya kecewa ya, sampey tahap aku rasa cam malas nak molah apa - apa report pasal match ya lah. Dah seari aku cool down, cool my head, baruk aku boleh naip agik tok. Aku pun sik sangka lekak leading gya boleh kalah. Apa nak jadi lah o? Tapi sik apat sik kita perlu pikir, Pahang adalah team yang menduduki tangga teratas Liga Super. So they showed how they got there.

Tinggal 3 match gik, aku dah padah, it is a do or die mission di Pahang. Seems to be, kita die lah. Aku try ngecek jadual Piala Malaysia kat website FAM, tapi gik juak kosong. Lom ada apa - apa cerita gik pasal Piala Malaysia. Malas dah aku nak lalek pasal Liga Super. Buat sakit ati jak. Yang pasti, aku tauk next season, aku akan lebih banyak tanga Sarawak main, bab banyak team Liga Malaysia main kat KL. Dari padang UITM, Kompleks Sukan Matshushita, Stadium MPPJ, Stadium Selayang, Stadium KL, suma dekat jak. So boleh lah aku memberi sokongan yang lebih padu kepada Sarawak.

Ya cerita tuan depan lah, what can we look foward to then? Piala Malaysia lah. Last season Sarawak layak sampey ke Quater Final. After convincingly winning the group, Sarawak kalah oleh Perak 4-3 on agreget. 2-0 di Ipoh, 3-2 di Kuching, walaupun at one stage dah leading 3-0 di Kuching. Nang ada masalah lapse duhal Sarawak tok. Ko baruk tauk kah Zul? :)

Aku just arap, by season end, Sarawak dah berik enough exposure kepada player - player muda untuk carry on main next season. Times up for Ramos, Ramles, both the Bobby. Berik can gik ngan dak Kamaludin Taha, Abang Zafari, Andy Kaso Sia, Zulkifli Othman. Aku arap, Jalil sedar, kempen liga kita dah sik apat diselamatkan agik. So peluang nok ada tok, berik as much exposure as possible dengan player mudak kita.

Mun dah skali gugok ya, payah lah, amat payah untuk Sarawak make a return to Super League. So, bersedia lah berhadapan dengan zaman kegelapan bola sepak Sarawak next season. Tapi sokongan aku sik pernah gelap!

Two words; ALLAN HARRIS!

-ngap ajak!

Lekak berakhirnya match Sarawak - Perak di Kuching ari Sabtu riya, Tonny Netto meluk Jalil and madah ngan nya, defeat Pahang, and we will you a big favour of defeating Kedah and Sabah.

Malam tok di Darulmakmur, Pahang akan jadi lawan Sarawak seterusnya dalam memastikan survival di Liga Super. A do or die mission. Dalam menjaminkan survival Liga Super, bukan menang di Pahang ajak, Sarawak terpaksa menharapkan ikhsan team lain untuk mengalahkan antara Kedah, Sabah, Pulau Pinang. Perak in the other hand, bukan jak perlukan Pahang dikalahkan, malah daknya perlu menang semua baki perlawanan dalam memastikan kejuaraan Liga Super milik daknya. So a win win situation for both Perak and Sarawak.

The last time main di Darulmakmur, Sarawak gave out one of their performance of the season narrowly missing a win against Pahang with a 2-2 draw. Partisan crowd di Darulmakmur, sik semestinya mampu mempengaruhi kekentalan mental anak buah Jalil.

With Manuel Co. seems to be can't stop scoring, we have a chance at least to record a draw. Less than that, it can spell disaster and Sarawak dah boleh buat persediaan Piala Malaysia jak lah. Lupakan survival Liga Super. Tapi Pahang pun awang import pun tengah on fire kinek tok. Mamadou Diallo will be a bigger threat on par with how threatening Chepita ngan Seator are to Sarawak pun defence line.

Lawan Perak malam dolok, Kamarulzaman telah kembalikan form nya. Berjaya pull off few important stops, but helped much by lucksture performance dari team Perak. Rodriquez nok diletak di depan defence line jadi DM nampaknya terpaksa kembali ke defence line to be partnered with Bobby Chua agik, dan mengembalikan Bobby Pian di posisi asalnya. Manuel Co. yang tengah red hot kinek tok hampir pasti mengekalkan kedudukanya sebagai AMC menepikan pilihan Wong Sai Kong. Sapian - Eshun partnership will spearhead Sarawak pun attack. Both flanks in both midfield and defence department will still be tanda tanya. Sekda sorang pun player wing baitnya winger kah wingback kah yang menampakan consistency dalam performance duak tiga match tok tek. So 4 igek posisi; left and right back, left and right midfield akan masih jadi percaturan.

Apa - apa pun pilihan Jalil, i know its for the best of the team. Menang dimpikan, seri pun boleh, kalah, palis jauh.

-ngap ajak!

Apa - apa pun

Malam tadik, lekak seminggu lebih Sarawak thrashed Perak di Kuching, Perak bertandang lagik ke Kuching. Rekod Perak di Kuching nang something to be ashamed of, to Perak lah. For the last 3 matches nok di main di Kuching, before malam tadik, Perak suffered losses one after another. 3-2, quater final Malaysia Cup 2003, 1-0, FA Cup second round 2004, 4-2 Liga Super Pusingan pertama. So malam tadi, Sarawak nang bersemangat tinggi to record second successive win against the mighty Perak.

In the mean time, Perak perlu menang mun maok stay close to Pahang dalam memenangi Liga Super taun tok. By the way, Pahang menang 2-0 di Stadium Bandaraya against Penang. Mun di ekot  walaupun dengan track cemerlang Sarawak tok lah, it is never going to be easy for against Perak. So much so it was not easy, 55 seconds into the game, Seator, that has proven to be the nemesis to Sarawak football scored one of the fastest goal dalam Liga Super. Nya pecah perangkap offsaid, menerima defence splitting pass from the middle of the park.

From that moment, still stunned, Sarawak pushed and pushed. The combination of Tay Si Kiat and the woodwork, denied Sarawak an elusive equaliser. Than in the 77 minute, Eshun shurgging off the marking of Nanthakumar, pushed a brilliant through ball to the unmarked Manuel Co at the edge of the penalty box, he pushed the ball a little, looked up without wasting any more time, releasin a heel-level thounderous shot to the far post. Finally defeating Si Kiat. The new darling of Sarawak football have struct again.

From that moment on, Sarawak push and pushed again to look for the winning goal. But, as always, keupayaan penyudah nang sik dapat di arap.

A draw is always better than a win. Tapi mun menang againt Perak lagik, nang bagus lah malam tadik. But atleast, Sarawak meninggalkan satu kenangan pahit kepada penyokong Perak. We might just do enough to deny Perak the first Super League title.

Aku sik patut letak harapan yang tinggi. Aku sedar, team tok sik pernah konsisten. Tapi aku salah, false alarm kata ku tek nak. Lekak menang 4-2 against Perak, against Kedah should be easy. Tapi sik, Marcos Tavares skor minit ke 19. Akmal skor minit ke 56. Minit 80 Rodriguez give a glimmer of hope for a comeback. minit ke 82, Akmal strike again. Minit ke 84 Eshun scored what seems to be a consolation goal for Sarawak.
 
Kalah agik, now the drop semakin dekat dah.

Malam tok akan berlansung satu dari duak igek match nok bakal menentukan nasib Sarawak di Liga Super taun tok. Against Kedah at Darulaman Stadium. Back from an emphatic yet surprising win against Perak ari Sabtu riya, penyokong Sarawak is expacting nothing less than a win. Kemenangan 4-2 ke atas Perak telah membuka kembali mata penyokong bola sepak tempatan, bahkan penyokong bola sepak Sarawak sendiri, betapa Sarawak masih mempunyai sengat yang meletakannya sebagai pasukan yang menjaringkan gol yang terbanyak musim lepas.
 
Match malam tok adalah kempen away pertama sebelum bertandang ke Pulau Pinang ari Sabtu rasa ku. According to Jalil before match against Perak riya, Sarawak perlu menang ke atas Penang ngan Kedah mun mok stay up. So now, dah menang against Perak, tambah ngan menang against Kedah malam tok, kemenangan ke atas Penang lepas tok will be a bonus lah. Keberanian Jalil menggunakan 'darah muda' dalam peralawan sebelum tok, membuahkan hasil. During the management of Trevor James, player - player seperti Zulkifli Othman, Fadly Kassim, ngan Jeffry Akup jarang diberikan peluang untuk beraksi. Tapi sik maok sik, lawan Perak ya, team Sarawak rami gilak nok injured ngan ada nok kenak suspended indah, so paksa lah all these young guns dipakey malam ya. But they paid the divident almost instantly.
 
According to Jalil agik, sekda player nok main lawan Perak riya dah memastikan tempat untuk match lawan Kedah tok. So everyone ada fairgroun mok fight for their place lah. This is a good nature of the team lah. Mun dah dak mudak tok berebut mok proved their worth, dak senior sik kan lah sik malu ngan perkembangan positif young guns tok? This is a warning to players like Ramos and Ramles Sari also to Bobby Pian. 3 player nok aku tanga where age have caught up with them.
 
Apa - apa pun aku sik menharapkan banyak gilak lah dari Sarawak. Kelak, macam salu, false alarm jak jadinya. But a win would be nice.
 
gud luck guys,
 
ngap ajak!

First of all, mintka maap. To whoever (mun ada lah nak) yang datang ke blog tok mengharapkan update, lamak dah sik update. Ingat aku, dari match Sabah - Sarawak aku sik update. Dekat duak minggu juak dah aku sik update. Macam - macam komplikasi yang timbul dari macam - macam pihak yang menyusahkan aku untuk update blog tok. Even after our emphatic win against Perak pun aku lambat mok update. Baruk tok aku ada peluang.

Mun sapa - sapa ingat, before match Sabah riya, aku dah madah, mun Sarawak kalah, we are going nowhere but down. Mun Sarawak menang jak baruk chances of survival kita lebih meyakinkan. Tapi aku sik prepare dengan result seri. So malam ya seri, aku pun mati akal apa mok di predict pasal team tok. hehe.

Before match lawan Perak, Jalil ada madah, mun maok survive, Sarawak perlu memastikan victory against Penang and Kedah. Aku pun jadi pelik, giney Jalil pun match-in-matecis ya? Cukup kah menang duak kali? Mun team - team lain sik menang boleh lah. So i just leave that to him lah.

Rekod pertemuan Sarawak - Perak banyak memihak kepada kemangan to Jaguh dari Malaysia Tengah tok. Aku sik apat kata apa lah, nang Perak is more superior in every department. Tiga match nok dah dimainkan before tok pun, Perak menang duak kali and Sarawak menang sekali. Match nok Sarawak menang ya, 1-0 2nd Round FA Cup 1st leg. Match ya, according to penyokong Perak nok aku temu lah, daknya kalah tegal player - player Perak tek kepak kak natinal assingment. Who cares? A win is always a win. Tol sik?

So match malam tadik, irconicly, dilansungkan lekak Malaysia lawan Singapore ari senin riya. Nampak gayanya ada can menang tok.

Dengan tidak menghampakan aku dan penyokong - penyokong setia bujang senang, what i hoped not another heavy defeat, Sarawak ended the match victorious 4-2. Credits to Eshun, Manuel Co. and the returning Sapian. A 10 minutes goal blitz from Sarawak, gave the comfortable cushion. Sarawak walaupun main with a modified backline, was proofed to be to hot too handle.

Kata Jamal Nasir, pengurs pasukan Perak, "We didn't play badly, we just commit stupid mistake. We were punished for it." Apa - apalah Jamal, aku sik lalek, second victory. Much sweeter against the title contender. Way to go guys!!

Aku sik harap banyak, survive jak. Mun ekot calculation Jalil lah tek nak, duak igek gik menang, boleh survive lah kita. We'll see about that!

Apa - apa pun, aku cukup puas ati dengan kemenangan tok. Nothing is more satisfying than a home victory. Nothing is more morale boosting selain kemenangan against mighty Perak.

Weekend tok, national assignment. Jersey dah bergantung, bendera dah berikat kat kayu, will I be on the winning side again? Hope the luck continues..

ngap ajak!
Malaysia Boleh!!

Sebelum EURO 2004 tok berakhir, aku rasa aku mok polah a bit ulasan lah. Though nya luar dari konteks futbol tempatan. But lepas result pagi tek (Greece 1 - Czech 0)aku rasa sik tahan lah, aku perlu say something juak lah.

Suma orang tauk, di europe they played futbol at the highest lavel. Walaupun juara world cup datang dari benua lain (Brazil dari South America, takut ada nok sik tauk bah), but most of players nok menang World Cup kat Korea/Japan taun ya main kat europe. So bila European Championship starts, memang menjajikan futbol at the highest quality. Before start of EURO besalah nak all the favourite. Tapi lekak aku tanga pattern dari World Cup 2002, aku dah dapat rasa dah big teams sik akan ke siney juak kali tok.

Ok, to cut story short, suma orang dah tanga dimpun giney championship tok progress, suma orang dah baca bermacam - macam report, and suma orang ada pendapat dimpun pasal championship tok. Aku pun malas nak nambah lebih - lebih nak.

Point cerita aku kali tok adalah Greece ngan Latvia. More importantly, Greece lah. They have recorded a remarkable achievement main sampey ke final. Nang susah mok cayak. Even comentator match pagi tadik pun sik cayak bila Greece skor malam tadik.

Awal - awal tournament riya, sekda orang berik harapan lansung pun ngan Greece. Suma gago cerita pasal France, England, ngan kawan - kawan daktok lah. Tapi kinek tok tanga siney daknya.

Mun kita kaji nak, sorang - sorang player Greece, haram sekda pun nok popular. Nok aku kenal pun Giannakopolis (giya kah eja?) ya pun tegal nya main Boltan mun sik salah ku. Point nya sitok, daktok sik glamer, sik dikenal orang, tapi semangat main daknya tinggi. Very very high. Walaupun mun di compare player by player sidak tok siklah teror nei mun dibanding ngan player team lain, tapi daktok dah pegi jauh.

Aku kagum dengan semangat daktok. Sik ngalah. Regarless of lawan daknya. Be it Portugal kah mula - mula riya. Be it France kah time quater final. Be it Czech kah, time semi malam tek. They prevailed all the test. Aku kagum!

Selain semangat, sidak tok nang main as a team. Ekot plan coach. Suma ingat ngan tangungjawab masing - masing. Suma tauk sapa mok di mark. Suma tauk sapa mok di pass. Suma tauk siney mok tunggu bol. Walaupun kau sik teror nei, but if work as a team, stick to the game plan, a football team boleh pegi jauh. Sejauh Greece tok tek lah. Aku perlu salute Otto coach Greece tok. Nya nang pemos dengan boleh mbak team minor pegi jauh. Dari Weder Bramen ngan Kaiserslatun. Duak - duak nya mbak menang Budens Liga.

So, compare ngan team negeri aku. Mari kita lihat sama - sama. Standard futbol nang jauh beza lah. Bukan bagey langit ngna bumi. Bagey langit, ngan bumi, ngna langit balit. Tapi sigek kita dapat contohi dari Greece tok, semangat sik akan ngalah. Dalam keadaan relegation is looming for the crocs, semangat sik ngalah ya perlu ada. Perlu ada rasa it ain't over untill the fat lady sing. Giya lah tek. Ada 8 match gik, the whole of 3rd round plus Perak match tertunda 1st round. Esok match lawan Sabah. Sekda medan terbaik dari lawan Sabah di Likas mun Sarawak mok buktikan yang kita telah sedia untuk kebangkitan. Semangat sik kalah perlu ada ya penting.

Dah bila kita konpiden, semangat kental den we have to go back to basic lah. Tactics, skills and all. Perkuatkan ya lagik. Tapi yang paling penting kinek tok, dalam morale kita tengah down, jangan putus asa.

Aku aritok tek baca article pasal PKNS dalam the Star. The only club team nok masin tinggal dalam saingan Piala FA. Kinek tok Selangor PKNS sits di kedudukan no 2 dibelakang Johor FC di Liga Perdana B mun sik salah aku. PKNS pun dah start nait dah. Nait balit. Team - team kelab tok have shown much desire mok maju. Apa jadi ngan team negeri macam Sarawak? Nak madha dah ilang desire, sik penah pun nok aku ingat kita ada winning the league pun streak. Setakat menang sekali jak alu puas ati. Sik lah giya nak?

Esok lah kita sama - sama tanga. Sarawak ada semangat Greece sik?

-ngap ajak!
