Great to be on leave and away from the office for a while,sipping my coffee this morning and browsing the local dailies one article caught my eye..the Sarawak football senior team was thrashed by Trengganu T team(Trengganu second stringers) 7-0. Sadly Sarawak now props the league table second from bottom.
Real sad and for someone who has ventured into that forbidding arena of managing the Sarawak football team last season i really felt emphaty for the present management.
Is there any way out from this abyss of a situation? Honestly i never realised that the state of the football affairs can be this so dismal. Last season when the team was bottom of the Super league, they still can give a good fight .
Despite being no longer in the team football management this season my pessimistic view is that at least they will be mid table. The reasons? Now all teams no longer have the luxury of having foreign imports and i knew for a fact our foreign imports last season were way below the quality that other teams have.
Lessons well learnt and i felt that the core group of local and peninsular players that we had last season can still provide good service to the team this season and i am convinced if that team(minus the foreign imports) was retained we will not be in this "relegated" position.
The 3 top local players (Kallang,Zamri and Shahrol) were sent on a short stint to Hartlepool with the intention that they will form the nucleus of the team and retaining quality and seasoned Peninsular players of last season such as Sunder, Hasnawi and Arsyah Ayob will certainly create the proven stability that any winning team must have.
Whatever the outcome i prayed and hope that the present team will avoid relegation to the FAM league ,this tantamounts to a relegation to the Conference league in the UK, God forbids!!!
Good luck boys and live up to the Ngap sayot spirit!!!
