| Selangor aim to turn tables on Lions Posted: 29 Sep 2012 06:08 AM PDT SELANGOR are eager to regain the prestigious Sultan of Selangor's Cup when they meet the S-League Selection at the Shah Alam Stadium tonight. The Red Giants have not won the trophy since 2008. But Selangor coach Irfan Bakti said they were looking forward to turn the tables on their rivals this year. "We have to stop the S-League Selection's winning streak. We are expecting a close match but we are well prepared to take them on,'' said Irfan after a friendly match against Setia Murni, a Division One outfit in the Football Association of Selangor (FAS) league. The match provided Irfan a chance to look at guest players — Helmi Loussaief and Nicoise Josep from PKNS FC in action. Both Helmi and Nicoise as well as international Safee Sali, who is playing in the Indonesian League, have been invited to beef up the Selangor strikeforce. Irfan was impressed with both Helmi and Nicoise but praised the former for his swift attacking style. "The presence of the trio has given me more options. We also have the Selangor players who are playing well in the Malaysia Cup to look at. In fact, I have advised the Selangor players to forget about the Malaysia Cup until this match is over. I would like to see them give their best,'' said Irfan. A crowd of about 70,000 is expected for the match. And Irfan believes the atmosphere would spur his players to rise to the occasion. The organising committee, headed by Datuk Abdul Karim Munisar, have lined a series of activities to make the event a memorable one for the fans. Popular local artistes Ziana Zain and Awie have been invited to perform before the match between the Selangor veterans and their Singapore counterparts. Both Ziana and Awie will sing several of their popular songs. The match between the veterans will kick off at 8pm. National coach Datuk K. Rajagopal, who last played for Selangor five years ago, will return to combine with the likes of Zainal Abidin Hassan, Dollah Salleh, Azlan Johar, P. Dharmalingam, Yap Kam Choon, K. Gunasekaran, Rashid Hassan, Reduan Abdullah and P. Somasundaram. Pint-sized Malek Awab will lead the Singapore side which includes V. Sundram Moorthy, D. Tokijan, Yahya Madon and Tay Peng Kee. Last year, Selangor won the match 1-0. Rajagopal said he was looking forward to meet his old friends and foes. "It is always good to meet them in a friendly sporting environment,'' added Rajagopal. Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah initiated the competition in 2001 to foster better relations between Selangor and Singapore. It was then known as the Regent of Selangor Cup. With the coronation of the Sultan in 2003, the competition was renamed as the Sultan of Selangor's Cup. About 500 students from Selangor will organise a formation during the opening ceremony. |
