The Malaysian League, will see usher a new era as 'mini' revamp has been done to make the league an exciting one. 14 teams including Singapore Lions XII will be part of the Malaysian Super League whereas the Malaysian Premier League will see 12 team contending for the coveted league title.
Most of the team have registered their players and many of them have made pivotal signings to bolster their squad for the upcoming season. Rumblings of a wannabe sportswriter will be reviewing all the Super League sides before entering into the Malaysian Premier League. This will be an exciting season and most of the Super League teams are making headway with their signings.
A team with marked improvements, Felda United!
Squad
Goalkeepers: Mohd Hamsani Ahmad, Mohd Suffian Abdul Rahman, Mohd Syamim Othman
Defenders : Mohd Farid Ramli, Mohd Nazri Ahmad, M.Sivakumar, Matias Favano, Mohd Irfan Abdul Ghani, Abdul Ghani Abdul Rahman, Mohd Juzaili Samion
Midfielders : Mohd Raimi Mohd Nor, Yong Kuong Yong, Mohammad Hardi Jaafar, Khairan Ezuan Rosli, S.Sivanesan
Strikers : Mohd Azrul Ahmad, Farderin Kadir, Ahmad Aminuddin Shahruddin, Mohd Nizad Ayub, Mohd Norizam Salaman, Ahmad Fakri Saarani, Santiago Bianchi
Team Manager: Faisal Zakariah
Team Coach : E. Elavarasan
Team Chairman: Datuk Dzulkifli Abdul Wahab
One of the four clubs taking part in the Super League, Felda United has gone great heights since their participation in 2007. Bankrolled by Felda, the team has improved considerably every season and last season they were placed 11th in their debut season.
Led by charismatic coach, E.Elavarasan, the team has gone through changed this season as he has opted to bring in new blood to chart the fortunes of the team. Last season, they had experienced heads like Khaironnisam Sahabuddin, Mohd Badrul Razi, Mohd Nizaruddin Yusoff and Liew Kit Kong but this season, they have all moved on and E.Elavarasan and the management has brought in youngsters.
Khairan Ezuan Rosli, Yong Kuong Yong, Mohd Nazri Ahmad, S.Sivanesan and Mohd Nizad Ayub will surely be the toast for the team as these are hot prospects for the country. Yong Kuong Yong, who recently won the SEA games gold medal with the Malaysian football team will be an asset for the club side. His jinking runs, determination, and crosses will be vital towards the team's attacking cog.
They have also brought in 2 Argentinians to the squad. Though murmurs stated that they were going to African but they have since opted for the well traveled Argentinians. Matias Favano and Santiago Bianchi have experienced many leagues in their careers and their experience would be important towards the team's growth.
Mohd Hardi Jaafar's transfer from Selangor will also be important as the 32 year old midfielder will add steel in the team's young midfield. Temperamental yet effective, the Perak born midfielder will be relied heavily by the club side.
Felda United will surely have a strong outing in the league but they will not be able to dethrone the likes of Kelantan, Terengganu and Selangor. E.Elavarasan have been an important force in the team and his presence will surely improve the squad's fortunes.
Team verdict: Longshots - They will finish in a respectable position but will never have a sniff on the title.
Player to watch: Yong Kuong Yong - The 22 year old winger will be an important player for Felda United. Impressing with Kuala Lumpur last season, the National player will be providing the ammunition for the likes of Azrul Ahmad, Santiago Bianchi and Farderin Kadir.
