Kroniz FC ready to fight Air force One Squadron

Kroniz Fc takes on 1st Squadron Air force in the crucial friendly match at the Maktab Duli Soccer today Friday, 27 Nov.

After last game’s 1-1 draw to the Kronizian at the same pitch, the upcoming game has added significance as the Kronizians try to keep alive their hopes of avoiding another defeat.

The Kronizians seemed to have overcome that shock draw on the last game and are intent on proving the naysayer’s wrong.

A few players is out due injuries but other players looks ready to step into the lime light.

It was an uphill task this season for kronizians struggled to get back their form and fitness as they only managed to find the net less this season than last season.

But it would be foolish to write them off as their performance against the HMFT showed their quality. The second half performance gave the Kronizian purpose and penetration to unsettled the HMFT defense however their finishing let them down.

If Kroniz is to take all three points from today’s game, they need to keep up their penchant for silencing the other team as they did in the previous game. The same sort of fighting spirit that has marked the Kronizian under the stewardship of Bab is needed as the kronizian look to make another milestone.

Kroniz so near yet so far...

Players clean and smart before facing the wet sloggy football pitch

22nd Nov Gadong: Today Kroniz FC nearly won the the game against Hj Midon Family Team (HMFT)in a fast pace and hard tackling game at the wet and soggy Maktab Duli PSBS Soccer Field. However the game ended 1-1 with a very late penalty given to HMFT.

After a scoreless first half Kroniz increase the tempo of the game in the second half and manage to take the lead in the 10th minute in the second half score by Alinordi. A nice through pass by ex manager zainal had sent Sapai through to face the HMFT keeper in the tenth minute in the second half, but the striker shot was block by the indecisive HMFT keeper and the ball roll nicely to Alinordi who slot it home easily. After taking the lead, Kroniz were leading all the way until a surprise HMFT equalizer one minute from time through a penalty.

Ironically, Kroniz could easily finish off the game however it was last year top scorer Pg Aki who did not convert the a least five open attempts at goal.

After it had finished 1-1 at the end of 60 minutes no extra time was to be played, so it was already azan magrib time.

Kroniz were suffering from nerves from the start, it seemed, as the HMFT controlled the game from the opening whistle. However through perseverance Kroniz deservedly took the lead through Alinordi, whose strike from Sapai from an acute angle on the right of the area proved too powerful for HMFT keeper.

The ball had been won initially 35 yards out from goal in the middle of the pitch by Pg Aki, who sent away down the right.

Kroniz had relied on fast breaks in the first half to try and gain some toe-hold on the game.

Pg suffian was a lively presence in the first half, so it was a surprise when he came off at half-time, making way for Pg Ariffin.

Arch got in a good cross in the 37th, which was missed by Alinordi in the middle yet still gave Pg Aki a chance to make contact at the far post, which he did, only for HMFT keeper to block the shot with a desperate lunge.

“We felt the pressure in the first half,” explained Kroniz manager when it was all over. “We were unable to reproduce our usual form and since we lost the last game we were a bit too careful.”

It seems that the pressure came from the players themselves rather than the opposition and the occasion got to them.

Kroniz had chances to go further ahead in the second half, but could not take them.

In the 48th minute Pg Aki picked up a good pass from Alinordi, but then put his effort just over the angle of the left upright and crossbar as HMFT breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Arch was denied by the legs of the HMFT keeper in the 50th. HMFT came back, after that, to threaten once more.

HMFT striker cleverly curled a left-footer that swerved, first away from goal and then back towards it, as the ball cannoned off the left post and then away to safety to the delight of reliable Kroniz keeper Pg Zulkarnean.

HMFT push forword dangerously and a volleyed powerfully just wide from well inside the box in the 59th as HMFT looked for a way back into the game.

Kroniz looked set to win by the only goal of the game until a late cross, needlessly given away without midfield cover out wide on the left with only a minute to go, was curled towards goal well received by two HMFT strikers. In the chaos in the penalty box, Kroniz hard working last man Pg Nizam made a desperate tackle and made an unlikely contact with HMFT striker who fell to the ground.

HMFT striker gladly accepted the penalty and it wound up in the roof of the net.

HMFT coach was all smiles when it was over. “We had a game plan and we executed it exactly as I wanted,” he said.

Having gained a reputation for conceding a lot of late goals in their previous matches, kroniz proved far more disciplined and better organised in this match to frustrate HMFT.

Kroniz did look a little tired towards the end so they were spared, very willingly, to settle the with the outcome, given their apparent fatigue.

One worthwhile thing about the game was the genuine sportsmanship displayed by both sides, with referee issuing only one caution all match.

“Next game, we’d like to do even better,” promised one of Kroniz player.

Kroniz tersungkur di padang becak

19hb Gadong: Pada hari khamis yang lepas di padang MD kroniz di pertemukan dengan pasukan MBS United. Hujun yang turun sejak pagi telah mengakibatkan padang MD becak dan perlawnan diadakan di dalam lumpur. Kehadiran pemain-pemain kroniz juga mengecewakan kerana perlawanan di langsungkan dengan sembilan orang pemain sahaja. Pasukan MBS united yang rata-rata pemain-pemain nya separuh umur pemain kroniz begitu pantas menggunakan kesempatan dan mengasak kubu kroniz bertali arus. Dengan kuderat yang ada dan tulang empat kerat pemain-pemain cuba bertahan dengan sedaya upaya. Kepantasan larian pemain pemain MBS gagal dihalang namun semangat yang tidak sedarkan diri kroniz dapat menyaing kehebatan pemain MBS.

Namun, walaupun berbagai usaha dilakukan dengan semangat yang ada, akhirnya kroniz lemas juga dalam lumpur apabila salah satu hantaran lintang MBS gagal dikawal oleh kroniz menyebabkan terhasilnya satu gol oleh MBS. Gol tersebut tidak melemahkan kroniz namun sedaya upaya mengawal perlawanan. Di separuh masa kedua dengan kecukupan pemain kroniz cuba bangkit danterus mengasak ke kubu MBS. Namun keadaan padang yang becak telah menghalang kroniz dari membuat hantaran dan larian yang tepat arah sasaran. Penolong pengurus Aripin yang bemain dengan cemerlang sepenuh masa dan temuntah-muntah ditengah padang tetap meneruskan perlawanan sehingga ke wisel penamat kerana tidak ada penganti. keputusan perlawanan kroniz 0 MBS United 1 Tabik hormat patut diberikan kepada pemain-kroniz kerana semangat yang tidak sedarkan diri. Sekian

KRONIZ Vs WASABI

2 - 0

15hb Nov Gadong: Sekali lagi kroniz turun ke padang dipertemukan dengan pasukan wasabi. Perlawnan kedua-dua pasukan ini bagaikan sate dengan kuahnya. Perlawanan kali ini yang diadakan di padang MD berlainan sedikit kerana kroniz turun dengan konfidentnya, (Sila lihat gambar) mugkin disebabkan kerana sudah sering dipertemukan dengan wasabi. Perlawanan petang itu tidak kurang hebatnya kerana kedua-dua pasukan sering serang menyerang. Kroniz bermain dengan cemerlang dan berdisiplin telah dapat meresap semua serangan-serangan yang dilakukan oleh Wasabi. Gol pertama kroniz dijaringkan oleh Sulai hasil tendangan sudut Ali nordi. Pada separuh masa pertama kroniz mendahului 1-0.

Di separuh masa kedua Wasabi cuba bangkit dengan pedasnya tetapi dengan kematangan pemain kroniz mereka dapat menahan pedas yng diberikan. Walaupun Wasabi mengasak ke kubu kroniz penjaga gol kroniz bermain dengan cemerlang menghalang setiap percubaan gol. Dalam kelekaan Wasabi menyerang kroniz mendapat peluang membuat serangan hendap dan pantas seperti kilat di sebelah kiri pada larian alinordi dan menbuat hantaran ke belakang kepada aliuddin yang terus membuat percubaan jarak jauh sehingga mencecah jaring menewaskan penjaga gol wasabi. Gol tersebut telah melegakan kroniz yang kini hanya perlu bertahan sehingga azan berkumandang. Di akhir perlawanan kroniz 2 - Wasabi 0. Sekian
