F&F: Season Preview

F&F started their pre-season by winning both friendly matches against Seryes FC and last season's MMU Champions League champion, Dettol FC.

There is improvement from the forward department as F&F managed 2 goals each in both matches although there is inconsistency from the defence. Ferdinadeem and Farok "AutoPilot" is showing signs of fatigue during the match against Dettol FC. Ferdinadeem has also voiced out to Zul Rossi that the defence needs more time to gel especially in communicating for the offside trap.

Skipper Samir Aie have dropped a bombshell to the team when he unexpectedly announced that he is quitting the club to be transferred to IBM FC in Damansara Utama. Apparently IBM FC has offered him more money plus health insurance and during a meeting with the team he said, "I'm sad to leave everyone but I need to move on as I need to think about my future and Eid dul Fitr is just around the corner. I wish all of you the best."

Manager Bob "The Builder" has announced Zul Rossi as the new skipper and Ferdinadeem as the vice-captain.

F&F is now tied with Victory FC as the number 1 ranked team in MMU according to the official MMU FC website:-


Both Bob "The Builder" and Zul Rossi have targeted to win the MMU Division 1 and promotion to the MMU Premier League. Bob "The Builder" have identified CyberHeat and Phlamze as the main rivals for the top spot. Below is the MMU Division 1 league table:-

Pre-Season: F&F vs Seryes FC

Today will be F&F's first pre-season match playing against Seryes FC.

Manager Bob "The Builder" and Tactical Chief Coach/Player Zul Rossi looking for chemistry among the players and winning the match is just a bonus to them. Zul Rossi has hinted that he might be using a 4-4-2 formation instead of the traditional F&F 4-5-1 formation because he believes that F&F has two natural strikers up front.

Bob "The Builder" has announced that Atoy "Pinky" is ruled out for today because of a thigh injury and club doctors has yet to confirm how long he will be out. Farok "AutoPilot" has not arrived from auto piloting session at his hometown and will miss his debut chance for F&F. This means that Acoy "Altec" is poised to start with Eskandar Macheda. Legendary playmaker, Mid Totti is also missing from the team list as he still have a few days of contract with his current employer and they refused to let him go. Sohaib Karembeu and Andy "Bedak" who will be featuring in F&F midfield for the season is also missing with Sohaib still waiting for his work visa and Andy who is still on home quarantine after his 'Bedak' supply diminished a few days ago and has yet to receive the new shipment. It is believed that Andy will be out and about once the shipment arrive.

Det-co will be aiming to impress the team after losing 2 kilograms in just 2 days of training. He also aims to sell his latest weight reducing technique if everything goes well. Det-co's counterpart, Nadom Onuoha will also feature in the team despite the late night rendezvous he had the night before.

Achap Brown, the youngest player in the team is looking forward to feature alongside veteran defender Ferdinadeem after his free transfer from Sepang-nyol. "I want to show the gaffer my quality and with that hopefully I can cement an automatic place beside Ferdinadeem." Achap Brown said during an interview after their second training session yesterday.

F&F Set to Blaze with New Management

The news that F&F is not competing in the MMU league was put to the gong yesterday following a take over from a former Hungary international goalie, Gabor Kiraly who is now a hotel owner bearing the name Crocodive in Phuket. F&F's senior players, Azim "Pelekat", Nadom Onuoha, Ferdinadeem, Det-Co lead by Zul Rossi traveled to Phuket to convince Gabor Kiraly in taking over F&F.

They spent 4 days negotiating the terms and their targets for future tournaments after a disappointing campaign last term which saw them finished fourth. Gabor Kiraly was impressed with the team's achievement considering the team was founded 2 seasons ago. Gabor Kiraly is now the chairman for F&F and has appointed Bob "The Builder" as the new manager and Zul Rossi as the tactical chief coach.
F&F meanwhile, has snapped 3 important players from Wizurai who are Atoi "Pinky", Eskandar Macheda and Farok "AutoPilot". Other additions to the team are Achap Brown from Sepang-yol, former Tak Kesah FC player Acoy "Altec" and veteran player who played for Kayu FC, Mid Totti. With these new recruitments, Atoi "Pinky" and Eskandar Macheda will lead the front line where as Mid Totti will be the playmaker and Acoy "Altec" will be supersub. Achap Brown and Farok "AutoPilot" will fill the gap left by Nabeelja Vidic and Fahrul. Promising youngster, Achap Brown who has shown the sign of quality will benefit from his partnership with veteran Ferdinadeem. This partnership is hoped to bear the same fruit as when Nadeem tutored established central defender, Nabeelja Vidic.

The new manager, Bob "The Builder" is expected to live up to his nickname, building a team from scratch and bringing it to a new level. A press conference is expected anytime soon for Bob to express his views on the team.
