Kamikaze Youths Friendly @ Siglap Secondary
As part of its rebuilding programme, the Youths gave debuts to new signings, Veera and Gabriel. In what is looking to be part of a Kamikaze-wide reshuffle, a number of the Youth team players are poised to be shifted up to the Seniors, hence the Youth team managers are looking to bring new players to supplement the squad.
Veera and Gabriel justified their inclusion, with Gabriel scoring on his debut after some excellent work from Vishnu. Veera was fearless in his tackles and has good potential, that prompted Victor to say,
"The lad is definitely tenacious. However, he has to be prepared to put in the hardwork that is expected from a Kamikaze player. He has to put on some mass as well, to be equipped to make the challenges all over the park. With the right attitude, he will go far."
However, the positives did not help Kamikaze cover up the negatives. There is a very strong mentality of playing the killer hollywood pass that has plagued the team, and the managers said in the pre-match programme, that the next step for the Youths would be to cultivate a possession-holding style of play. However, the instructions clearly fell onto deaf ears, as several players, throughout the match, still attempted to play the impossible ball leading to a loss of possession that resulted in their opponents counter-attacking them. The 3-2 defeat was painful not just due to the scoreline, but rather the team's resistance to change.
Nonetheless, the managers are hopeful that the changes will come eventually and are looking to once again revitalise the team to achieve their potential.
