Kamikaze spoils the Day for Sg Spoiler

The editor states his apologies for the extended break for post-deepavali celebrations. This will be the first update in a series that comprises of 3 completed matches.

Goal Arena Round 4
Kamikaze vs Sg Spoiler
Pierce Secondary @5pm

It was a game that Kamikaze approached with some hesitation, but as the game ended, Kamikaze held their heads up high knowing that they grabbed vital 3 points and accumulated a rather healthy goal- difference against a team that many others will have difficulty scoring. It was a game, in which the Kamikaze strikeforce went beserk with star striker Hevy finally repaying his team's trust in him by bagging 4 classic goals. Fellow strike partner Vijay also grabbed a brace despite starting the first half in goal. He and Victor shared goalkeeping duties but even that proved not to be a problem as only one goal was conceded, with 4 other players getting into the scoresheet. In all, it was a fantastic game that Kamikaze can take loads of pride from.

Kamikaze Comes Out Largely Untested

16 Oct 2011
Goal Arena Round 3
Kamikaze vs Eastland
Serangoon Stadium @5pm

Kamikaze entered this 3rd league match seeking to keep pace with the top two teams. By the end of the match they had firmly established themselves as a team to be watched. They entered Serangoon Stadium in their away colours of Orange looking every bit majestic as they could be. And they sashayed and swayed around the pitch with the panache of a truly title-contending team.

In what was a largely one-sided match, they had 5 different goal scorers all playing their roles effectively. Vijay, Barathi, Safar, Pratheep and Vishnu all got onto the scoresheets. Gerard, Hari, Vijay, Safar and Barathi were all credited with the assists. Akbar was untested as the defence stood firm, and even when he had to make his saves, he did it with class to get a clean sheet. This was not the biggest test for KKZ, for that will come later. Nonetheless the team came out of it with sky-rocketing confidence and will look forward to their next assignment. Safar, who interestingly dismissed all allegations of being an individualistic player, can't stop assisting as he won the Man of the Match award for this match.

This is just another match, another 3 points. While they value these points, the team is not getting carried away, for they know tougher tasks await them if they wanna reclaim glory. Watch this space...

KAMIKAZE!!!

Kamikaze rout S.S to grab 3 points in style

9 Oct 2011
Goal Arena Round 2
Kamikaze vs S.S
Yio Chu Kang Sec @5pm

If they were looking to do away the disappointment of last week's draw and bounce back in style, Kamikaze found no perfect way other than to smash 6 past S.S in an extremely one-sided match.

When the whistle blew to signal the kickoff, few would have predicted the rout, as a 10 man S.S kept KKZ at bay and even had a few half chances their way. But in just under 7 minutes, Yasin struck yet again to give KKZ an early lead following some neat footwork from Safar. Safar was one of several players making his Goal Arena league debut for Kamikaze, and he put in a dazzling show to remember. Within 13 minutes, Kamikaze doubled their lead after yet another dazzling run from Safar led to an own-goal as the S.S defender turned his cross into the net.
Halfway through the half, the match was as good as over, as Hevy played in a teasing cross, that Lavanesh, another league debutant, supremely volleyed into the top-right corner for what was arguably the best corner of the day.

That sparked a raft of substitutions, that heaped more misery onto S.S, as one of the substitutes Vijay, another player making his debut, found it almost too easy to link up with Safar. The pair accounted for the next 2 KKZ goals, as Safar remained provided, whilst Vijay did the role of the finisher, to put KKZ up 5-0.

With such a commanding lead, the team took it easy after the break, and concentrated on giving the huge squad ample playing time. That strategy almost backfired, as KKZ conceded a soft consolation goal. However, no harm was done, as Hari, had the final say by scoring his first Goal Arena league goal with a neat finish curled round the keeper.

Kamikaze came out of this match with a high morale. Nonetheless, questions remained. Will the team, improve their passing play to handle tougher opponents. Will the defence remain steady against pacier strikers? Will the management handle the substitutions more effectively? Most importantly, Are Kamikaze Title-contenders??? Watch this space!

Kamikaze has a perfect start shattered

2 Oct 2011
Goal Arena Round 1
Kamikaze vs Chai Chee CSC
Junyuan Secondary @ 3pm

Kamikaze had the perfect of starts as they went up 1-0 in the opening 15 minutes thanks to a wonder strike by Yasin to finish up a super cross from Havey. Havey who had earlier missed a penalty, latched on to good work from Barathi down the right flank to put in the cross that Yasin brilliantly scissors-kicked into goal. That sparked several attacking moves from KKZ mostly originating from El Fazail and Barathi, who made his long awaited comeback with much pomp. However, they failed to convert any of those chances and that would soon return to haunt them as they only ended the first half with a solitary goal to show.

Throughout the match, KKZ showed their weakness in handling set-pieces. It was through a set-piece where they were eventually punished as Chai Chee pulled a goal back, by a brilliantly worked free-kick. Despite dominating possession for the rest of the half, and creating several gilt-edged chances, failure to finish meant that Kamikaze only has 1 point for all their hard-work in their first league game.

After the match, Acting Manager Seelan shrugged off the draw saying that the team has always been slow starters. He also put his support behind striker Havey and promised that the player will come good. While they might not have been happy with a draw, Kamikaze will not let this setback deter them and will be even more determined and focused for the clash with S.S. Like Seelan said, this will not be 2 points dropped, but 1 hard point earned.

First Official Press Conference of Kamikaze

In revealing probably what was the worst-kept open secret in Amateur Football, Kamikaze management officially confirmed its participation in the 3rd Season of Goal Arena Sun PM League Eastern Division. In a closed-door press conference held on 28 September, Team Acting Manager Jayaseelan made this annoucement as well as announcing the details of the new team jerseys.

Transcript of the Press Conference

Seelan: Dear all, Thank you for being here. We are pleased to officially announce that Kamikaze will be taking part in a new league this coming season. We will be entering the Goal Arena Sun PM Season 3 under the Eastern Division. The team is geared up for it, after having gone through 2 assessment matches as well as 6 other friendlies as part of our pre-season warm-up. We are excited and looking forward to doing well in this league.

Reporter: It was earlier announced and reported that KKZ will once again take part in the CFL. So why the sudden U-turn?

S: It is wrong to say that it is a U-turn. After last season, we had always wanted to go to a new league, and we had informed CFL about it. However, there were no proper leagues available and hence we decided to return back to CFL, and CFL was supportive. However, that was when the opening in GA was available and when we informed CFL about the decision, they wished us all the best and supported us fully with our bid.

R: The ties, between CFL and KKZ have always been rumoured to have been testy. Is that true?

S: That's absolute RUBBISH! Ties between CFL and KKZ have always been fantastic. We share a unique bond, and that can never be changed. In fact, our ties have been further cemented by the new Jersey deal. In a co-sponsorship deal to provide our players with 2 jerseys, Team Kamikaze signed up with Vivace Events and CFL to sponsor our Jerseys and this demonstrates the close ties we share with our partners.

R: So what are the objectives for Team Kamikaze in this current campaign?

S: It is obvious, that the winning mentality is deep-rooted into the DNA of Kamikaze. We always play to win, and this new season is no exception. We would be expecting nothing less than a top 2 finish.

R: Can you elaborate on the new Jersey?

S: We have finally acquired both Home and Away jerseys for the team. We would like to thank CFL Sports and Vivace Events for sponsoring both jerseys. The Home jersey will be unveiled on 2nd Oct and it is black-based. The Away Jersey is orange-based and will be unveiled on 9th Oct.

R: Any last words, Seelan?

S: We would like to thank all those who have made our success thus far, possible. And we would like to ensure all our stakeholders that, as long as your support is present, Team Kamikaze will only to continue to grow and strive towards further success. Thank you and Viva La Kamikaze!

R: Thank you Seelan and all the best to Kamikaze.

Majulah Kamikaze!!!

This was not a match to pick themselves after the demoralising defeat to Dboyz on the 10th of Sep. The work on correcting that defeat was done the following week itself, with the team cancelling their friendly to conduct a training session, which was fun, as much as it was fruitful. The team got to work on certain basic drills, positioning and zonal movement, as well as to work on their general fitness.

This match however, was all about forward looking. All this match focused on, was to set the morale right, for the upcoming league. The team paid that much importance on getting a good runout, that they refused to play their 9-men opponents on an uneven scale, and hence loaned two players throughout the match to correct the deficit. Such was the confidence, and determination to get a good runout.

The team tried various tactics and formations, to get a good feel of how to adapt to different systems, and focused priority on retaining possession. The fact, that several first teamers were missing, was conveniently overlooked, by the return of former goldenboys Havey and Vijay, both prolific goalscorers in their own right. The fact that Havey created numerous opportunities for himself and the team, despite failing to score, and Vijay getting himself on the scoresheet, looked ominous for the team.

No doubt, the scoreline was an unflattering 1-0. However this was a game where KKZ created umpteen chances on goal, enjoyed the lion's share of possession, and came out calm, composed and unscathed despite experimenting with various systems.

This was a KAMIKAZE that is nicely gelling together to create a huge impact on Goal Arena. Yes, they are starting their campaign two weeks late, but they will aim to start their league with a bang.

KAMIKAZE!!!

Will this Defeat Stall them or Spur them on?

Kamikaze finally faced defeat for the first time this season. Their first in 7 games. But truth be told, it looked coming for the past 2 weeks with an understrength squad and complacency creeping into the team. But when it finally came, it was fitting that D-boys, their former rivals turned close compatriots were the ones to inflict it. Yeli and Viki have for much of the last 7 months been key integral components of this new look KKZ team, but on this day they were playing in the opposite colours and they did most of the damage. To be honest though, despite having a near full squad, the lack of depth in the centre-midfield position, and a devil-may-care attitude amongst the KKZ camp has sent shivers down the management.

Despite boasting Safar and Fazail in their ranks, KKZ was unable to create any real meaningful threats on goal in the first half, but the start of the second looked real promising, as a long punt from Jayraj from defence found Vishnu, who needed no second invitation to continue his scoring streak, and he found the back of the net with a brilliant strike from the edge of the box.

However, things went downhill for KKZ from then, as a needless freekick saw Viki curl the ball into the net, albeit in the opposite colors. Dboyz, soon took the lead from another setpiece, this time converting a corner with a brilliant header, and Yeli put the final touches on the job after a defensive slip up.

All in all, it was a very demoralising defeat for the Kamikaze camp, and it has sent the management scrambling to rethink plans for the new season, but as has always been said. This is KAMIKAZE, and we will definitely get things right!!!

Fazail was voted man of the match for an industrious performance, in a game that no player really shone. Special credits have to be given to Nesh, Prem and Safar for giving their all and also to Haresh who showed glimpses of finding back his form after a slump. The team also challenges Vishnu to continue his scoring streak.

A Tale of 2 Halves, but the Result is still the same

After the hard fought draw the previous weekend, Kamikaze travelled to the east with yet another depleted squad to take on Orange Warriors at Pasir Ris Sec in what was to be yet another exciting encounter. However, the reason for the excitement was due to be KKZ's own making though. For a match played in a turf field, under such hot weather, and against physical opponents, bringing along just 12 squad members seemed a recipe for disaster. With Fazail, and Safar both out due to commitments, the sole creative threat seemed to fall to the injured Yeli, and this looked to be a low-scoring game.

But KKZ put paid to those thoughts within 2 mins of the kickoff, as Victor dispossessed the opposing centre-mid just inside their half, and raced towards goal, before toe-poking into the right hand corner to give KKZ a surprise lead. Vishnu soon doubled the lead, and took his season tally to 7, once again latching on to a loose ball after a defensive error, and lashed an unstoppable shot that the diving keeper could do nothing about. When Yeli dazzled and jinked down the right flank before putting in a cross, that Gerard scissors-kicked into goal, to put KKZ up 3-0 at half-time, the match looked a foregone conclusion.

However, defensive errors of their own, and fatigue meant that KKZ led in 3 sloppy goals, and were staring at conceding a 4th. However, a neat through ball from Vishnu, saw Victor give chase and benefit when the keeper fumbled, as he put through a cross that Avi converted with style, to give them yet another hard-fought result.

This was not a game easy on the eye, especially the second-half performance of KKZ. However, it must be noted that this was a severely depleted and understrength squad, both in terms of number and quality. Hence, the victory will be savoured nonetheless. But, the nature of the game, has sent the management into the backroom to discuss measures to improve the attendance and balance of the squad heading into what promises to be an exciting season.

Gerard was voted Man of the Match, for a dominating midfield performance, whilst Vishnu has been growing from strength to strength to stake his claim for a First XI spot. Special mention must also be given to retired star Sateesh Ruud Balloon, who took timeoff from his NS stint to put in a top-notch performance to wow his fans!

Kamikaze Fights Hard To Stay Unbeaten

They were told that the opponents were a Malay team. They were told that the opponents were gonna be late for the match. But Kamikaze was not informed that the opponents were gonna be such tough opposition. They were like a motley crew, players banded from everywhere. But amidst their ranks, they boasted 2 players, one a Prime League midfielder, and the other a former National U-23 striker, and between them they scored and created all 5 goals of their team, all long range efforts. However, this is a Kamikaze that has once again reinvented itself. This was a Kamikaze that was capable of instilling fear in its opponents too. This was a Kamikaze that knew how to score wonder goals, and that is what they did as they even-ed a match, that could have swung anyway.

The opponents opened the scoring within 5 minutes, when a routine cross was pumped into the back of the net via a long distance volley. But KKZ responded in style as Safar played a delightful throughball, that Golden Boy Vishnu exquisitely chipped past the keeper. They then went 2-1 up, vis-a-vis the same connection as this time Safar's cross was met with a thumping volley by Vishnu.

Kamikaze had a severe shortage of players, and only had 1 subsitute due to several last minute withdrawals. The deficit took its toll, as quick counter-attacks saw the opponents create several chances, and they squared the game as another long-range shot gave the keeper no chance.

Under-strength Kamikaze came fired up in the second half, determined to match their superior opponents, however the lack of manpower clearly showed as they went behind yet again by another expert cross that was met with an equally superb shot. Kamikaze showed that they could match up in the shot-taking department too, as Vishnu let loose a ferocious shot looking for his hat-trick, only for the keeper to parry the ball onto the path of Victor who managed to tuck it in. The sole respite for the veteran striker, who had a totally dreadful game to forget.

Safar, however was having a magical game and he showed his class, by finally scoring his first goal of the season, by racing on to Dinzo's lofted pass, beating two defenders on the run, and scoring past the Keeper's nearpost to once again bring KKZ on level terms, after the opponents had once again taken the lead via a long shot.

When the opponents, scored their 5th goal, and Victor who compounded his terrible game and missed a penalty, everyone thought that the game was over for Kamikaze. Everyone, except Kamikaze themselves. They kept attacking, and once again Safar found himself fouled inside the box, and this time stepped up to take the spot kick himself, capping a splendid afternoon for him.

Kamikaze, however showed that they still possessed the resilience that has long been their trademark. While they have recruited significantly to their player armoury, there are bad days, where the squad is left depleted. On such a day, like this one, it is the Kamikaze Spirit that will see the team through, like it had. This match was a fantastic warm-up for the tough road ahead. And going by what we saw, there are only good times ahead for Team Kamikaze!

Safar deservingly won the Man of the Match award, but special mentions have to be given to young Keeper Vicky Razgy who had yet another scintillating performance, despite letting in 5 unstoppable goals. If not for his heroics, KKZ would surely have conceded even more, such were the shooting might of the opponents. Vishnu, who continued his goal-scoring form, and Dinzo who put in a flawless performance were all commended by the team management and encouraged to reach higher standards.

Kamikaze Conducts Efficient Business

There has been something very businessman-like about this new incarnation of Team Kamikaze. The way it goes about settling its matters efficiently, the way they turn up for matches with all the players showing excellent initiative, the way the management does not think twice about punishing errant players, the way they dominate opponents. This is a new efficient side of KKZ and the fans hope that this incarnation lasts longer than the previous faces of KKZ.

They squared up against Goal Arena League Alumni Salem Fire. With reports swirling, that Kamikaze are indeed set to join the Goal Arena League, this match-up set the rumour meters ablaze. With pundits noting that this match would be a test of Goal Arena and also KKZ's ability to match up to the league, all eyes were firmly set on how this match would play up.

It would be an understatement however, to say that Kamikaze passed the test with flying colours. The first half ended goalless despite Kamikaze creating a host of chances, and doubts could have started creeping into a lesser team. But Kamikaze have a new found resurgence about their play, and soon made their dominance count after the break.

A trademark short-corner routine saw Safar playing the ball onto Manjan, who made no mistake with the finish. Soon after, Mohawk made amends for a horrendous miss, by playing a through ball onto the path of Victor who flicked it pass the keeper and scored into an empty net.

Young Star Vishnu who is growing in stature with each passing game, got onto the scoresheet in the best of fashion. A brilliant passing move saw Kamikaze complete 10 passes, which was finished as Pratheep cut the ball back to Dinzo who swung in a delicious cross, that Vishnu delightfully glanced into the net to score a first ever goal for Kamikaze with his head.

3-0 was how it ended, and it was yet another businessman-like performance by Kamikaze.

USPO Suresh dominated the centre of the midfield, won all of his aerial duels and stamped his authority on the game. And for that kind of a sizzling performance, his teammates rewarded him by rating him the Man of the Match.

Kamikaze Keeps Rolling Along

The uncertainty over their future league status could not stop them. Loss of 3 key management personnel for this week's game could not stop them. Aggressive and roughhouse tactics indulging Vietnamese opponents could not stop them. Which leads many to wonder, what will it take to stop this new-born Kamikaze Renaissance. Ever since the new season launch, there has been a certain pomp, about this Kamikaze team, and that was once again highlighted as they tore apart their Vietnamese opponents. Whilst, rumours had it, that this was a qualifying game for a new league that they were supposed to take part in, KKZ management would not confirm anything.

That, however, did not stop Kamikaze from dominating this encounter as they beat their opponents 4-2 convincingly. A brace from Vishnu, the first after excellent work by Safar, and the second from an assist by newboy Maaran ensured the young forwards Golden run continued. Another brace to match that was scored by Fazail, the first from the spot kick after dangerman Safar was fouled inside the box, and the second through an excellent free-kick taken after a foul on himself. Fazail's resurgence reaffirmed his status as a deadball specialist in the team, and this can only spell bad news for their opponents.

The man of the match was El Fazail, for his dazzlery on the wings and set-piece brilliance. But credit must be given to Safar, Hasiim, Maaran and Vishnu for an excellent performance.

While, they have had a run of good results, this team must keep its feet on the ground and prepare for tougher roads ahead. For glory is not earned, by sailing through the good times, but by also battling through the tough ones too..

9-Star Kamikaze Soars Ahead

After the first match of their 5 game plan, it took Kamikaze another 21 days to embark on their second match. This time they squared off against Shining Sitare at a 3pm kickoff at Serangoon Secondary.

If they had any doubts, on whether their goal difference could be boosted during this run-in, they were dispelled today, as the KKZ outfit ran riot against their physically superior opponents. Despite losing out in the size, Kamikaze were definitely the technically superior side, and they exploited their experience to maximum as they ran out 9-0 winners with Goals coming in from 6 different players.

After creating several chances in the opening 15 mins Kamikaze got their first goal in the 17th minute and never looked back.

1st Goal: Fazail received a short corner from Victor and picked up Gerard who cushioned a header perfectly for Vishnu to pounce and put the ball in the back of the net.

2nd: Fazail, making his return after a long absence, once again was thick in the action, as he cleverly dribbled past 3 defenders, before squaring to Victor whose sidefooted shot found the back of the net.

3rd: Yeli, now turned provider, this time playing Fazail through, who once again beat 2 defenders before slotting the ball coolly past the keeper, and capping a fantastic return.

4th: Provider turns scorer, as Viki's long ball found Victor who headed the ball onto the path of Yeli who made no mistake by scoring past the keeper.

5th: Yeli then doubled his personal tally, with a Stupendous effort by scoring Directly from a corner to thrill the fans!

6th: Kamikaze took it easy after the half-time by knocking the ball around, but an intelligent move saw Safar play Vishnu down the right flank, who chipped the ball onto the path of Dinesh Manjan who scored off his own rebound, after the keeper had saved his initial shot.

7th: Safar in a unselfish mode played Yeli expertly through the middle and the tricky winger made no mistake as he claimed his hat-trick.

8th: Safar and Yeli were once again involved as they played a neat little one-two that saw Safar squaring the ball to Victor who once again side-footed his way to a brace

9th: The icing on the cake was provided by Dinzo who volleyed the ball home after some hardwork by Jraj and Lavanesh whose pressure on the defence saw them lose the ball at the edge of the box.

Overall, this game was a complete success for Team Kamikaze not just because of the scoreline, but more so because of the way play was approached and opportunities created. Special mention must be given to Vishnu, the young centreforward who is developing very finely and showing a huge appetite for the game, Viki for putting in yet another excellent industrious effort, Gerard, Fazail and Nesh for once again returning to the KKZ fold with a seamless entry that made it look like they were never away.

But the man of the match was clearly Aravin Yeli, whose superb performance left his team-mates raving. The winger who recently recovered from a niggling injury is set to reach his top potential, and that can only be bad news for his opponents.

After 2 games, KKZ have collected 6 points and a goal difference of 10. But to reach the standards of recapturing the CFL crown, consistency will be the key. Will this team, have what it takes to produce this levels of performance every week? Watch this space!

Kamikaze Off to a Flying Start...

Kamikaze started the final phase of its pre-season training by embarking on a 5-game plan, in which they play 5 games and aim to win at least 3 of them and draw one, racking up a goal difference of at least +5. The first of this matches was held today on the 3rd of Jul at Kranji Sec in a 3pm kickoff against a Northern-based Malay team.

They could have never asked for a better start as they won the match 3-2 in a convincing manner despite the unflattering scoreline. Hari, Akbar and Jayraj were standout performers in a match that the KKZ outfit are playing after a long holiday break.

Enduring a nervy start, Kamikaze broke the deadlock when Hari played a short corner to Mohawk whose inswinging cross was met with a pinpoint header by Victor. The score line was soon doubled when Hari played a defence splitting through ball which was met by Mohawk who coolly rounded the keeper before stroking the ball into an empty net.

The opponents came out strongly in the second half and outmuscled the KKZ midfield. Their efforts soon paid off, as they pulled back two quickfire goals to even the match. However, KKZ kept up the pressure with Safar and Hari running riot around the opponents' defence. Their efforts paid off, when Jayraj clinched the winner, when Safar played a short corner to Jayraj, who sidestepped a defender before drilling the ball into the net.

Despite having the burden of pressure on them, KKZ played with immense poise and composure, and this was noted with pleasure by the management. Having secured a good start, the team hopes to build on this and build up a good form to approach the CFL hitting their peak.

This match also featured the debut of young Defender Maaran, who showed glimpses of a fine talent in his first match itself. KKZ wishes him all the best in his upcoming career with the squad.

Kamikaze Confirms Participation in CFL

A shock decision was announced earlier today, that the senior team of Team Kamikaze will indeed be taking part in their swansong season in CFL. Earlier reports suggested, that KKZ will all but pull out from CFL to continue their pursuits elsewhere. However, it was announced today that the decision to take part in one final season was made on the 25th of June at a high-level board meeting held at Frontier CC.

Top guns of KKZ met up at Frontier CC to charter the new course for the team. However, the most shocking decision was Team Kamikaze's reappearance in CFL's 4th season. Team Kamikaze had played in all 3 previous seasons of CFL winning it in their second season. However, injuries, squad depletion and a overall lacklustre attittude contributed to seeing them finish their worst in the last season. That had led to widespread speculation that Kamikaze will pull out of CFL to concentrate on growth.

When contacted, Team Assistant Managers Seelan and Nesh had this to say, " Kamikaze is still focused on renewal and growth for the team. We see the importance of having new challenges to steer the team to reach its fullest potential. However, on the back of last season's dismal performance, the boys owe it to the history of the team to come back for one last season. It is not about proving anything to anyone, but ourselves. We need to do this, as a duty, as a calling."

However, not everyone was positive about this news. When interviewed, team stalwart USPO remarked matter-of-factly, "Ok, you say about proving it to ourselves. But honestly, i don't see what being in CFL proves. To me, that level of competition proves nothing. But i can accept it, if only this is the last season. Final one, no more."

The CFL has always been a bag of controversy for Kamikaze. While it boasts the most flexible of organisers, and the kind of heart racing rivalry that the EPL boasts of, the organisation has not always been kind in the fixture planning to KKZ. The level of competition has also not always been up to the standard expected by the board, to mould the team into a top-notch islandwide side. However, with the announcement that the team will make it back for one last season out, punters have started placing their odds for the former champions to make a strong formidable presence.

Organiser and founder of CFL Mr Premnathan had a remark to put the whole matter into perspective. "Kamikaze can say what they want about CFL, they might be right or they might be wrong. But till they win the league again, whatever they say will only be the opinions of a team that did not win."

Kamikaze!!!

Kamikaze Update

Hi guys,

It's been long since we updated the kkz blog so here it is. Since facing a dismal start to their friendly campaign with 2 loss and 1 win, Kamikaze bounced back in style by winning 3 and drawing 1 out of their 4 games they played after that. That brings the total tally to 4 wins 1 draw and 2 loss. It is also stated that the mood in the KKZ camp is slowly gaining more momentum towards showing seriousness and competitive traits. The locker room chemistry is terrific with new signings Aravin "Muhammad Eli" and Viki "No nick" blending well into the team's infrastructure. The team's young defence leader Janarthan has also been impressing fellow team-mates and is fighting for a first team place.

However, Kamikaze takes this opportunity to express it's heartfelt condolences to Hevy, in light of the passing away of his father. We hope that he will bounce back strong and all our wishes and prayers are with him and his family.

Goalie Ganesh has condemned the team's style of playing 2-3 games a week as "utter nonsense" mainly beacuse he feels that players tend to be fatigued when they come for kamiakze sunday game. He stressed that a rejuvenated side is capable of much better showing than a fatigued side and has pleaded the management to handle this issue immediately so that the team can perform at it's peak. Kamikaze has almost 7 first team players who play an average of 2-3 games on weekends and this might come to be a problem when they start the league.

Kkz juniors, led by captain Vishnu has secured 3rd in their CFL campaign and have made us proud. We extend our congratulations and wish them the best in their future endeavours. With talents like sai, vishnu, ryan and pratheep, it will be soon that they take the u-21 league by storm!

Player profiling is in accordance with jersey number and as such the next profile will be on our dear captain NASH! Be sure to catch it and also catch kamikaze take on a random opponent at bishan park sec 5pm kickoff on sun 29may. Till then.....KKZ!!!!

The Comeback Kings

Kamikaze staged a remarkable comeback literally through the last kick of the game. Dinesh Thevar scored the winning goal after going down 3-0 with 1 men seeing red. Match started as accordingly to plan by Manager Haresh. Kamikaze were fully focused on attacking as Zhenghua knights we soaking up the pressure. However, Zhenghua knights drew the first blood through a deadly counter attack. Kamikaze were not disheartened by that and continued attacking like that did in the beginning. And again the defence was caught out through another counter attack. Kamikaze went into the break with 2-0. Second half saw Kamikaze start brightly. Shortly in the half, Zhenghua knights scored a third through a free kick which was finished by a header. Zhenghua Knights thought they had Kamikaze buried. And once Pratheep saw a red card for a misinterpreted "gun" action, Zhenghua Knights must have confirmed that feeling. They packed 9 men in their defence forcing Kamikaze literally no way to push for goal. The ever lively Haresh was the man to spark the comeback. A cooly taken volley in the penalty box was exactly what the team needed. Second goal came in 13 mins from time. A wonderful cross saw matthew literally push the ball into the net. Before that goal, Dinesh tried for a extravagant finish but only could see the effort hit the post. Third goal was a mistake within the Zhenghua knights defence that caused an own goal. With literally 2 mins left in time, the hero to grab Kamikaze the 3 important points was Dinesh. After a mix-up between the Zhenghua Knights defence, Dinesh collected the ball controlled with and blasted it into the top. The keeper was shell shocked, Zhenghua Knights were shell shocked. Truly a remarkable comeback in the history of Kamikaze young boys. Next game will see Kamikaze take on Toh Guan 11. Be sure to be there to catch this game.

Deen and Arjun were dictating the game right from the start of the game. Third goal showed the alertness and composure of Haresh and Matthew. After getting a free kick in our own half, Haresh sent a quick free kick straight into the path Matthew who was composed in his one-on-one and placed the ball in the bottom right hand corner.

Player profiling : Ganesh

Name : Ganesh
Age : 27
Position : Goalkeeper
Shirt Number : 1


Ganesh, 27 is a goalkeeper who currently plays for Kamikaze. Known for his one-on-ones, and commandment of area, he in hand with akbar proved pivotal in kamikaze's 2009/2010 season. While akbar was used in the champions cup ties, Ganesh was used primarily as a first choice goalkeeper for kamikaze in the cfl league. Often sporting a bright orange top with huge gloves, he often gets into the "schmeichel" pose before the game, often so imitating his idol.

Ganesh first started his career with Jurong FC and through that , got to know a lot of teams. As his position is a rarity and furthermore combined with his skill as a goalkeeper, many teams raced for his signature. He finally opted to sign for Team Vasantham, a team filled with his friends/colleagues. He spent a good few years at the club before kamikaze manager haresh and scout victor vicky attended one of his games at serangoon stadium. Upon watching him play, both of them simultaneously decided that he is an asset to kamikaze, whom were goalkeeper starved at that time. Although a formal enquiry was made, Team Vasantham accepted and let ganesh join kamikaze in early 2009.

It proved to be an awesome buy as ganesh blended in well with the team, quickly making friends and enjoying his training. With the goalkeeper position fortified in both competitions, kamikaze then went on to win both of them. A fun and jovial guy with a lot of friends base, Ganesh is well respected and also applauded for his goalkeeping antics for the club. His overall performance for the team marks him down as one of the greatest to ever wear the no.1 jersey.

Ganesh currently resides in the east with his newly married wife Vani. Kamikaze wishes them a happy married life in the years ahead and assures fans that they will definitely get to see more of ganesh in the coming season.

Board Update.

Kamikaze fc has lost 2 of it's 3 friendlies in the previous month. Suffering losses to both amateur teams below standard, it however triumped against powerhouses mexican aces. Such a showing is not acceptable in terms of team manager haresh. When asked to comment, he said "players must show a sense of urgency and buck up their level of football so that we can be up there with the best". Kamikaze also unveiled 2 new signings officially , Centre midfielder Viki and right winger aravind also known as eli. Kmaikaze wishes them all the best in their future at the club.

Kmaikaze takes on FC Rainbow Boyance, a semi veteran team this week. With kamikaze's recent performances taking a plunge, team captain Jayraj has vowed to win this game and also spur on his men to the right attitude for this game. With both sides targeting a win, this game is one to watch. Please catch kkz in action live at clementi woods secondary 3pm kickoff.

Player Profiling : Akbar Subo

Name: Akbar
Age: 23
Position: Goalkeeper
Shirt No: 00
Club: Team Kamikaze (2009 to present)


Akbar, or "akberrrr" as he is fondly known by his team-mates is a 23 yr old goalkeeper who plyes his trade for team kamikaze. Known for his acrobatics and shot-stopping abilities, akbar made a name for himself between the posts and played for his weekend friendly team before kamikaze came calling in 2009. After a lengthy battle with his former club over negotiations, Akbar formally made his appearance for Kamikaze in mid-2009.

Born on 2nd of January 1988, Akbar studied in chestnut drive secondary school and then proceeded to further his studies in ITE Ang Mo Kio. It was at his secondary school days that he is rumoured to have met and known Yassin, who also plays for kamikaze. Akbar realised at a young age that he always had the passion to become a goalkeeper and also be a good one. Therefore, his love for the position kept him driving on and in time, he matured into a fantastic goalkeeper.

In the middle of 2009, when kamikaze was left stranded without a goalkeeper after their then first choice manoj retired and second choice geven bowing out of the game to a serious back injury, they were looking for a goalkeeper in the market for a goalie. At this time, Yassin reccomended akbar to kamikaze saying that, "this fella will complete the jigsaw perfectly". After seeing akbar in action at a friendly, Haresh made an offer bid to get akbar to kamikaze. In his pilot season 09-10, Akbar lent an enormous paw to help kamikaze achieve their first double in history. First, securing their league adventure and then, helping them to their 1st champions cup victory after denying a stoppage time opponent penalty to keep the score 2-1 to kamikaze. Kamikaze fans will definitely remember what this titan of a goalkeeper has done for the club in his first year and were overjoyed when he said that he will be staying on for many seasons to come.

Although plaqued with working erratic hours at his job, he always makes time for kamikaze and is well-respected amongst players and fans. His career highlights would definitely be the penalty save in the champions cup final, and all fans definitely would rate that as their number 1 choice. Kamikaze is still enjoying the dominance of akbar between the post's and hope that in their next season, "Akberrrrr" will again use his gigantic paw to cushion kamikaze to more silverware. Be sure to catch Akbar in action when kamikaze plays. For more updates, refer to kamikaze match alerts. Next week, we will be profiling another player, wait and watch! Ciao!

Kamikaze vs Mexican Aces friendly

This sunday was probably the most exciting friendly to date as fate saw 2 giants, Kamikaze and Mexican Aces get pitted against each other in a fierce battle. Although surprised at first, both teams came to accept reality and prepared to take on each other. Mexican aces, come into this game with an unbeaten streak which saw them taking the Championship trophy back to their trophy cabinet at stadio del Ace.

Kamikaze boasted the return of uspo and had a both ganesh and akbar in goalkeeper duties. As well as a boost, they were also let down by the absence of captain jay raj, creative midfielder fazail who was sent to KL to recuperate from his injury and injured yassin who spectated a match. They were also without hevy and mohawk vicky who were still nursing their injuries. They also recalled balloon and vishnu to add more spice to their attack.

It was kamikaze who drew first blood as safar, with a sweet assist from barathi wiggled his way through before cheekily waiting for the goalkeeper to commit and round him to score. Safar's technique is well known but this goal deserves a special praise. After that aces began their play and started getting comfortable on the ball. Kamikaze packed their midfield with hariboy, seelan and viki working in tandem to break up attacks and provide the ball to either barathi or eli to spring into attack. Their tactics and gameplay worked out well as the wingers made a spectacular pass to safar who in turn, lays it out for balloon to tap in despite an onrushing horde of defenders. Although failing to impress last season, the manager's faith in the young striker paid off and he got onto the scoresheet after almost a year.

In the 2nd half, as always , kamikaze were on the backfoot and could not come out of the defensive half, often parrying away any attacks coming their way. Aces were in full frontal attack and it did pay off as they equalised from 2 goals by their blistering fast winger although replay clearly shows that in the 2nd goal, akbar was actually fouled and the referee failed to spot it. With the score 2-2, kamikaze's final throw of the dice came in the form of matthew.

All they knew about him was that he was fast. Some have seen him play. Some haven't. But what everyone saw that day made a stamp that he was a player to watch. Almost immediately after his introduction, he added that extra edge in attack and close to 70 mins of game play, he struck. He got the ball from midfield, sidestepped 4 onrushing players , and blasted the ball into top left of the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper was left shaking his head and kamikaze were left in jubilation. The last 20 mins was kamikaze's to conquer and they did so with some slick passing and possessional play. Final score was 3-2 to kamikaze and all the credit should go to the players, working harder than last week and showing that they have a point to prove especially after last week friendly's clumsy loss. Special mention would also go out to viki, barathi and eli for busting their lungs out for this game regfardless of the different situations they were in. Keep the same attitude going and kamikaze will be rubbing shoulders with many more giants soon. Although aces would feel hard done by, kkz would like to remind them that they were worthy and equal opponents and in no way, lesser compared to us in terms of result.

This week sunday kamikaze take on an unknown opponent @ serangoon secondary 3pm kickoff. Please come down if you are free and watch the heroes in action. Till then ciao!

Final Score kkz 4 Aces 3
Scorer : Safar , Satheesh , Matthew

Kamikaze vs Manjan Fc

Kamikaze suffered a defeat in the hands of a manjan team in a lunchtime kickoff friendly. In a contest which saw kamikaze score all 3 of their goals through headers, they just couldn't see out the game and get the point. 2 headers from haresh and 1 from victor helped kamikaze to a 3-3 scoreline but a last minute goal for the opponents sealed the fixture 4-3.

When asked to comment, Fazail, 25 stated that the lack of support for the man on the ball was the main reason why kamikaze couldnt play their game today. With a strong midfield lineup, kamikaze had no excuses for the result and could only blame themselves. All the players felt hard done by especially Nash, who emphasised that this result has come to show that we need to work harder as a team and also focus on turning our weaknesses to strengths. He also stated that the players need to stick together, help each other and also work towards a common goal.

Club Captain Jayraj has agreed with nash's statement and also brought up the issue of having a standard lineup of 15 per match. He said"this way, we have a fixed number of substitutes and need not have a furry of substitutions to make the game messy".

Kamikaze look to improve when they take on their next opponent on 13/03/2011 @ fuchun secondary 3pm friendly kickoff. With kamikaze handed a boost by goalie ganesh back from marriage leave and ace wingers barathi-lavanesh shaking off injuries to join the squad, there should be no excuse but to return with 3 points. Watch kamikaze play their game live at fuchun secondary sunday 3pm kickoff. Thanks guys ciaoz!

2. New changes

As of today, a few important changes will be implemented with immediate effect and this is very important.

ATTENDANCE

- Attendance will be taken for EVERY TRAINING, FRIENDLY AND SOCIAL KICKABOUTS that kamikaze arranges. The attendance consolidated will then be given to the manager to make a decision in naming his squad. To put it easier, in order to be selected to play, you have to come for the 3 important activities which would be training, friendlies and kickabouts. This is to ensure that players will have to be involved in everything and not just turn up and expect to be played.
As we are all working adults and this matter cannot be handled like professional clubs, we have singled out a few scenarios where you can be excused. These instances are:

-If you are unwell on that day

-If you have work/study commitments

If you have to handle with a tragic loss of someone

If you do have a valid reason which is not listed above, please explain your case to the manager over phone and if it is valid enough, you will be granted an excuse.When you receive an alert for training, friendlies or kickabouts and you confirm your attendance, please make sure that it's your responsibility to attend on that day. Situations which will not be tolerated or given a straight absent case would be :

-Confirming your attendance but not turning up on that day

-Not replying your status but verbally telling your friend that you are coming

-Attending drunk

As stated, this will also be attended in a case by case basis. If you feel that you have a valid reason, please call the manager and speak to him.

KAMIKAZE GAIN-AS-YOU-TRAIN SYSTEM

This system was devised to structure kamikaze's foundation and also hone their team strengths in the process. This whole process will last approximately 16-20WEEKS and in this time, we will NOT be playing competitive football of any sort i.e leagues and championships. This was designed solely to function together as a team and play better football so that we can achieve better results. The structure will be:

Week 1 - Specialist training with coach
Week 2 - Friendly against an anonymous team
Week 3 - Team training to correct errors/improve from the points we noted in the friendly
Week 4 - Kamikaze Kickabout/Friendly within our team

Please keep your sundays free at the time we have this program so that everyone can train as a team and thus improve together, which is the objective of this system.


Having said these, i hope you guys will give your full co-operation and definitely after 16-20 weeks, we'll be able to come out motivated, ready and raring to mount a serious title challenge to whoever is in our way. Our road to improvement starts this sunday with a friendly. I'll keep you updated about the match details. Till then, keep busy with the poll! Ciao

Wedding Bells in KKZ

A joyous occasion took place within the kamikaze team as kkz goalkeeper ganesh tied the knot on 20/20/2011. Ganesh , 27 this year has been a prolific figure between the posts for kamikaze in their campaign and has helped kamikaze achieve the double last season. Signed from team vasantham in the summer of 2009, Ganesh has never let his fans and team down and keeps producing trademark saves week in week out. He is also the 2nd player within kamikaze to tie the knot, the first being the commanding centre-back jayraj who tied the knot in mid-2009.

Team Kamikaze, fans and well-wishers wish Mr&Mrs Ganesh a happy married life and wonderful years ahead.

Fan's Decision

From the recent poll conducted, Fans have chosen KKZ vs Amk rebellious 2nd leg to be the most exciting contest in the CFL 2010/2011 season. An 8 goal thriller, the game saw a spirited kamikaze comeback from 3-0 down.

Hari started the proceedings by driving a thunderbolt of a shot into the top right corner after a set-piece mix up. The shot gave the goalie no chance but secretly ignited the kkz spirit which lead to a furry of attacks. Ace striker safar then proceeded to calmly score two goals by taking the whole defence on each time and managing to slot the ball home from 6 yards each time.

Then came a moment of magic. Aravind, who had been threatening the opposition from the left wing did so again, this time collecting a cool pass from jayraj, angling a shot and driving the ball into the top right with his left foot...all this from the left byline 35 yards out! The goal which stunned the opposition, kamikaze players and the scorer himself just has to go down as one of the best goals that a kamikaze player has ever scored. With the opposition almost resigning, but refusing to go down, safar hit the final nail on the coffin by turning in a free kick with a cheeky back header to get his hat-trick and give kamikaze a 2 goal cushion. At the final whistle, one can only praise the kamikaze spirit and their drive to move on.

That's it guys. A small match preview for you and the fans. The next poll is up so please be sure to vote on that. Ciao!
