SPECIAL
By Avineshwaran Taharumalengam
Champions of the Premier League last season, PKNS FC deservingly secured promotion into the Super League, where things could get hot and spicy at times.
| 2012 SQUAD LIST |
| Goalkeepers Mohd Remezey Che Ros, Isyafrial Ishak, Razy Effendi Suhit |
|
Defenders Aizulridzwan Razali, Fadhil Mohd Hashim, Ahmad Tharmini, Mohd Zaidi Ahmad, Azlan Zainal, Hairul Nizamm, Mohd Zulhariz, Farouk Hashim, Ahmad Muslim, Amieynuddin Mohd Nor, Nur Adli Mustafa |
|
Midfielders Azrif Nasrulhaq, Khairu Azrin, P.Rajesh, K.Premanathan, Mohd Khairul Anuar, Mohd Norhafizzuan Jailani, Azwan Malek, Mohd Fauzan Dzulkifli, Mohammad Norhisham Hassan, Mohd Idris Ahmad |
|
Forwards Dawood Nicoise, Abdul Rahman, Rudie Ramli, Asyidi Dilashar, Mohammad Khairul Akhyar, Norfahmie Hadzrin |
The former Malaysia national team coach comes with the traits of having induced the production of talented players like Yusri Che Lah, will be key to PKNS' stint in the Super League this season.
PKNS have also secured the signature of Guadeloupian striker Dawood Nicoise, who has previously plied his trade in the French Ligue 1. Opting for a new experience, the hitman arrives with bags of experience and will be partnering Rudie Ramli and in a solid attack upfront.
When asked whether he has any prominent players in his side, he stated that all the players are capable of rising to the occasion but he expects the likes of Rudie Ramli and Farouk Hashim to come out of their cocoons after a disappointing stint with their former clubs. Mohd Fadhil Hashim will be the skipper for this season after impressing in the Premier League last season.
With four club teams in the fray, PKNS will look to stamp their authority but the management will be looking for a respectable finish in the Super League.
However, in the years to come, PKNS will be expected to build a much stronger team and who knows, they might even emulate the likes of Selangor MPPJ and Selangor Public Bank.
