It is interesting to take note here that Selangor had promised their soccer fans that they would give Perak everything they got tonight, expecting nothing than a big win to avenge their defeat in the last match against Perak in Shah Alam. Their confidence is genuine after realizing that they have Perak by the throat in the last game but they messed it all up in the end. They have kicked themselves in the butts then and tonight they wanted to give Perak that very same butt-kicking treatment. YobLatino was right when he said that Perak and Selangor soccer fans reserve incredible grudges against each other. :-)
Both coaches, Dollah Salleh and Steve Darby are probably beaming with confidence at the moment. Dollah Salleh is happy to see that Elie Aiboy, Frank Seator and a few other players selected for his super secret training sessions have adapted well with each other and should play much better as a team tonight. Steve Darby meanwhile is happy because his team had proven themselves after being hit with heavy criticisms especially from their own soccer fans. News from Perak’s camp has it that Steve Darby did not arrange for any super secret training sessions for tonight’s game. He will treat tonight’s game like his previous games but a few observers did mention that Steve Darby is worried about Perak’s defenses. I’m worried about Perak’s weak defenses too and I hope that Steve Darby will push his team to perform better at the back tonight.
Watch out for Dollah Salleh’s dangerous but familiar set pieces (fast attack from the flanks and long balls). I’m sure that he will have a lot of those tonight involving players such as Elie Aiboy, Frank Seator, Shukor Adan and Safee Sali. Tonight’s game will be super fast and furious, tempers will flare and I hope that Ahmad Shahrul Azhar will maintain his cool as usual.
Hell! Tonight’s game will not be easy to predict at all. As a Perak soccer fan, I want Perak to win the game but I got a bad feeling that it is Selangor that will be victorious in the end. On paper, I’m sorry to say that it is Selangor that has the advantage over Perak. Selangor has Elie Aiboy fully fit and Frank Seator back in the team for tonight’s game. Those two names are the key players for Dollah Salleh’s game plan and Perak’s fate will depend on how well they keep those two dangerous players at bay tonight. Steve Darby, do something!!
I will say that Selangor will win the game fair and square tonight if they can get some early goals in the first half. I will say that they will win quite convincingly but I hope that my predictions would go all wrong. It is all up to Steve Darby and his boys to turn the odds against them and give Selangor a very big surprise tonight. Steve Darby, I will love you even more if you can do that!
Good luck, Perak! Don’t walk alone, Steve old chap!
