Fire&Flames VS Phlamze
MMU Stadium Kickoff:1745
Today's match will see 2nd ranking Phlamze play against MMU Cup Champion, F&F at MMU Stadium for Group D opening match. Group D a.k.a "Group of Death", comprises of Cyber Heat, Dettol FC and new-comer Supa Strikaz, but due to the global recession that has affected many clubs around the continent, they pulled out from the tournament at the eleventh-hour.
Phlamze have been enjoying success for the past two seasons by winning the 2nd Division title and MMU Losers' Pool Final. Phlamze's main strengths are their defence and the influence of their tireless midfielder,Jon, an outcast from Phlamze's arch rival,Salsa FC. In an interview with Kosmo, Jon was quoted saying "The match today will be an exciting one because F&F has blazed through other teams with their star players last season to win the MMU Cup, but this season the team is without Boy P, Alwi, Saeed, Charles, Fatah, Fauzan and Esa. Their midfield is completely depleted now, but their defense is still the meanest of all. We will try to penetrate through the middle of the park as Saeed not there anymore to shield their back four which didn't concede any goal last season."
F&F has strengthen their midfield with the signing of veteran winger Abby a.k.a "Brader Lecturer", experienced midfielder Hamka "Scar Forehead" and skillful winger Wan Poi a.k.a "Body Tough Got Kepak". Skipper Aie also signed Nabeelja Vidic and Paan Dossena to back up the defence. Meanwhile, Eski Raul is expected to arrive next month just before the transfer window's deadline with a Bosman deal. F&F played 4 pre-season games to keep up the rhythm in the team.
"There are several changes made to make up the loss of midfielders and strikers. We have tried our new-look engine at the centre of the park against SDX FC last Sunday and depending on the fitness and injuries, I'm not worried." Aie speaking to John Dykes(ESPN) in a quick interview.
Abby "Brader Lecturer" has yet to play for the team but he will definitely play some part today either from the start or coming on from the bench.
Aie has put faith in Boynaldo to score goals by making him the lone striker this season. There were rumours saying Nadom Onuoha and Indonesian pride midfielder, Hamka will be the strike force for the match today. We will have to wait and see this evening on what formation and line up the skipper is tinkering for this match. Kayu FC legendary defender, Ben Beckenbauer will be watching the match from the VIP Box to watch some of his former Kayu FC team mates such as Ferdinadeem, Nabeelja Vidic, Zul Rossi, Azim Pelekat, Zul K and Boynaldo perform today.
