Benda ‘Mengejutkan’ Dalam Bolasepak

Notice:
Strictly for football fans. Bagi chance la, dah lama aku tak komen pasal bolasepak.

Quikie:

Update EPL. Chelsea fans bising pasal referee 'decided' their game last Sunday againts M.U. Ceewwaaahhh...! Tahu pula bising dulu masa pengadil Robes Style tolong mereka masa lawan Liverpool gaduh pasal Liverpool fans tak reti terima hakikat, konon. Ambil ubat. But, thats football, referee decision adalah part of the beauty. But, honestly speaking bila nak merasa tengok ref NOT BIAS to M.U pula ya? Ref always favoring M.U, why? Have no idea....

Ok, back to story related to title.

Jose Moronho berambus dari Chelsea. Typo disengajakan. Aku benci bekas pengurus Chelsea, benci kerana dia power. Aku rate dia hampir sama dengan Alex Fergusen. Infect some point dia better than Sir Alex. Chelsea tough dibawah jagaan dia. Bukan power, tapi tough. Kental, keras, kebal… something like that. Difficult to crack them down. Even most attacking football team, Barcelona, face hassle task to score one goal against them in previous two years champion league encounters.

Tapi dia dah berhenti dari Chelsea. Tidak tahu kenapa, misteri… Board meeting, then dia made few phone calls to senior player, lepas itu dia announced dia tidak lagi manager Chelsea. Walaupun his relationship with club owner is the worse cover up secret dalam football world, still his achievement should make that Russion billionaire think wiser.

Jose Maurinho departure adalah salah satu benda ‘mengejutkan’ yang berlaku dalam bolasepak, in particular bolasepak antarabangsa. Aku jangkakan character Jose dan Chelsea secocok, bongkak, berlagak, kaya, keras kepala… senada, seirama. Umpama perkahwinan yang akan kekal ke anak, cucu, dan jika ambil Alex Fergusen case dah boleh bercicit.

Antara beberapa benda yang dijangkakan mustahil dan mengejutkan lagi yang pernah berlaku.

Kejayaan. Sukar untuk predict kejayaan dalam sukan bolasepak. Greece johan Euro 2004 dan Korea Selatan sampai semi final World Cup 2002. Who in the right condition of mind will bet on that? Korea fairy tale in 2002. Crazy… they not even record any single win in history of world cup in previous century. But, in front of Red Army they managed to beat world top teams to reach semi final and unluckily dump by tactical Germany team. Then Greece, come on. If I not mistaken, even their captain at that time adalah free agent. Tiada club for few months. Boleh beat all the ego of European powerhouses. I don’t know how gambler dare to put their money on football match. Damn difficult to predict the result.

Player transfers. Impossible for me to memories all the ‘shock’ transfer in recent years. But few transfers still fresh in my mind. Owen to Real Madrid. I almost tears (read ALMOST) to learn Owen will sign with Real Madrid. Liverpool wonder boy refuse to work with Gerard Houllier and decided to become one of the galaticos. Sadly or should I say luckily, he never find his so called Liverpool’s form while play with Real or now with Newcastle. But, for me he still one of the best in the business. Impossible for anyone, especially Liverpool fans to forget his contribution to our happy weekend with Liverpool jersey or while dons England color. Those 2 goas in dying minutes of FA Cup at Cardiff, World Cup 1998 wonder goal, 2 away goals against Roma in Champ league and many more. Ada lagi beberapa player transfer yang mengejutkan. Beckham to Real Madrid, then Beckham to LA Galaxy. Ronaldo from Inter to Real then back to Milan City. Terbaru Henry to Barcelona. Walaupun ada masalah dalaman, but still Henry to Barcelona with only 16 million pound, nampak pelik. Arsenal’s talisman, all time top scorer, their captain, sumber inspirasi rakan-rakan, anak emas manager…. Unthinkable. But with current Arsenal position and performance, look like they not really miss their use-to-be hero. Then dulu masa Chelsea menggila dalam market player, hampir semua pembelian mereka adalah mengejutkan. No way I would thought Damien Duff, Wyne Brigde , Shaun Wright Philips or even Glen Johnson akan dijual kepada EPL rival. But as many believe, money speak louder. If we think about money, can't understand how Milan sold Sheva and Bayern sold Ballack to Chelsea. Look like, there no more impossible move in football transfer. Steven Gerrard out from Merseyside?

Ada lagi benda mengejutkan dalam bolasepak. Cerita yang lebih dekat dengan kita. Bagaimana ‘kita’ lantik national coach? Strings of fine performance while handling junior squad and our beloved FAM President overjoy by the achievement in not even a proper press conference announced;

“Beta dengan ini melantik, Sathi sebagai ketua jurulatih negara”.

Imagine, baginda umumkan sambil berdiri, dikerumuni wartawan dan pegawai FAM. Dollah Salleh mesti terkedu, padahal few days before nama Dollah disebut-sebut. Even Azrai Khor pun mesti sedikit kecil hati kot. What to do, that’s our highest football management body in action. Then, how baginda elected the hostest seat in FAM? I am referring to Secretary General position. Baginda make that call, yes… it is a truly phone call .... from London.

Then, after Jose quiting Chelsea reporter ask him what he intent to do next. He said he will run his normal life, he got few assignments with sponsors including come to Malaysia next month for banking comercial. Hah... maybe FAM can offer him to become national coach. He just become 24 million dolar richer, definitely money not an issue for him. Don't laugh... maybe for once FAM will make a wise decision. And looking at current scenario nothing is shocking anymore in football world. Hahahaha...

Sebelum aku meneruskan tulisan pasal FAM, lebih baik aku stop. Kalau tak sia-sia sahaja aku berpuasa hari ini.
