In a
month, where only 2 games were possible due to a mixture of weather conditions
and the festive period, there was enough time for a returning player to capture
the attention of the Kamikaze faithful. Having dropped off the radar due to a
combination of serious injuries, form and fitness issues, the playing future
looked bleak for a player touted as a serious candidate for leadership material
both on and off the pitch. But, as he has done several times now, a return to
the basics of fitness conditioning and the appointment of his close confidante
Manjan as caretaker manager seemed to have done enough to boost the confidence
of our Player of The Month -December, Surya.
Despite
having to overcome match fitness issues, Surya shone in a position, that
Kamikaze traditionally has had strong players. As a versatile full-back, able
to play on both flanks, Surya brings into the game, a good sense of timing in
his tackles, and confident yet simple distribution of play that helps the other
teammates thrive. His leadership capabilites speak for itself, as he commands
the respect of the dressing room in his own understated way. The management and
the fans of Kamikaze will only hope that Surya keeps improving in his fitness
and contributes further to what has already been an outstanding season for the
team and all the players.
KAMIKAZE!!!
