Selangor 4 - 1 Johor DT: APTB

Its been a few days after Selangor menyedarkan Johor DT bahawa they are the real MSL title contender. Adakah bermakna memang benar Johor DT a MSL title pretender? Well time will tell.

Kawan* akan mengupas perlawanan ini dari beberapa aspek:

1. Teknikal.
2. Seorang fan Johor DT.

TEKNIKAL

1. Player yang diharap, gagal untuk perform dalam game ini. While player Selangor, sama seperti player team lain bila menentang Johor DT are 100% motivated to defeat Johor DT. Player seperti Del Nero, Safiq & Ezrie gagal menyerlah membuatkan opponent mereka berjaya menguasai area mereka. I didnt meant that Selangor menang sebab player Johor tidak perform. As I mention, they are motivated and national player like Amri Yahyah, Mahalli & Kunanlan step up and perform very well.

2. From tactical point of view, Hj. Irfan like he said for the 1st time this season he manage to assemble his 1st XI as all his main player are back from injury. In another word, he can field his strongest 1st XI. And most importantly, they play as they were told and perform.While Fandi fielding his best XI at the moment only without Safee playing due to his injury.

3. Selepas 2-0 & Peter dilayangkan kad merah. Fandi mengubah formasi ke 3-5-2 yang mana aku nampak player seperti belum mampu menggalas tanggungjawab baru mereka. Disebabkan peralihan posisi, Selangor berjaya menggunakan peluang yang terhidang untuk menghukum Johor DT dengan 2 lagi gol lantas menguburkan segala harapan Johor DT untuk membuat comeback as they always do.

Seorang fan Johor DT

Kawan amat menantikan match ni. As my previous post, this will be the biggest away game that I can attend (as Kelantan too far like Singapore). And it is massive. Walaupun stadium tak penuh, tapi aku nampak fan Johor DT memang dah bertambah sejak TMJ investment dalam pasukan bolasepak Johor. Fan Selangor pulak, aku nampak mereka juga mula kembali menyokong team mereka as this season memang nampak Hj. Irfan sudah mula menunjukkan taring sebenarnya sebagai jurulatih tersohor negara. Ditambah lagi tetamu yang datang berkunjung adalah Johor DT, so fan Selangor pon bersemangat sama. Sama seperti pabila Kelantan berkunjung ke Shah Alam. Menyamakan Johor DT dengan Kelantan memang membanggakan kawan. And guess what? Both game Selangor win.
Back to the game....mengikut perkembangan semasa, kawan cuma harap Johor DT draw je game ni. Nak menang, selepas most of the time crawling back from the dead was very hard. Setakat lawan Kedah & Negeri Sembilan, boleh la. But Selangor is a totally different level. So bile Johor DT kalah, kawan kecewa sebab player gagal untuk keep their composure and play their heart out. A few rise above occasion. Macam Norshahrul, Guiza, Azinee & Kamarul Afiq. But the rest...menyedihkan (ya..including Safiq, I admit it).

But the fan...Johor DT fan was amazing! Kalau nak compare dengan fan Selangor, kitorang half of them. So memang ramai. And the chant...it is organize, better..no, much much better than Selangor fan. Yelah, kitorang nyanyi lagu chant Johor i.e. Luaskan kuasamu Johor etc.Selangor fan just recylce the Inilah barisan kita to their tune. With the current situation at Sabah and yesterday game at Pahang, we were thinking their are singing for our troops battling in Sabah. rupanya..itulah their chant for Selangor team. Ceh! Kawan respect pada BOS, Flagpole & IJF yang willing to merge and orchestrate the fan. They are the best. Kawan lupa nak ambil gambar Ultra Selangor, gambar atas ini adalah the whole Selangor fan yang datang. While Ultra Selangor duduk kat belakang gol. Well, they are being outnumbered to our BOS, Flagpole & IJF.

Kawan gak respect to the rest of Johor DT fan. Walaupun dah kena 4-1, but still they watching the game until the final whistle. Gambar di atas ni adalah buktinya.

Kawan gak bangga sebab sekarang ni, Johor has increase its present in Malaysia football scene. The fan has increase tremendously. The team also are improving steadily. And the marketing...just imagine, kat luar stadium Shah Alam tu, out of 20 stall..18 will be selling Johor DT shirts and only 2 that selling Selangor & others. Itupon kongsi..lol. Kawan really hope this will be a start of real domination.

On another note, this will not be the end of Johor DT in Malaysia Super League. Its been 10 game, 4 win, 4 draw & 2 lost and sitting at #4 in the league. So it is a good sign for a complete new assemble team. I am impress with how Fandi have manage and coach the team. There are more good news (in my next post, of coz). And we still going to face Selangor in the FA Cup. So, kawan akan kembali ke Stadium Shah Alam in April to cover the match and hoping that this time we will win it.

Luaskan Kuasamu Johor!
