SEASON THREE STARTS WITH A BANG!
2/18/08, Report by L. Weimin
Bendemeer- Myjia FFC began Season Three in brilliant fashion, racing to a 4-0 lead at halftime against Network United before charitably giving four goals to eventually triumph 6-4.
Network had looked complacent against an all-chinese Myjia team and by the time the referee blew for halftime, it appeared that Network had connection problems within the team, such was the dominance of Myjia.
The shutting down of Network began as early as the tenth minute when midfielder Leong Wai Meng fired in an inswinger to score directly from a cornerkick. Whether Wai Meng had intended to score, well, your guess is as good as mine.
Myjia continued to threaten with the Network players chasing shadows and looking disoriented against a group of closely knitted Myjia players high on team spirit.
Against a relentless wave of Myjia attacks, the inevitable happened as Myjia frontman Chia Junhao latched onto Kenneth Koh's pass. Marked by a defender, Junhao skillfully flicked the ball around the defender a-la-Bergkamp, spun round the defender before pushing the ball past the below par keeper. 2-0 to Myjia in a pretty one-sided affair and there was more to come.
Junhao turned creator this time when he chipped a ball into the box for veteran striker Eric Low to chest the ball down before laying for Kenneth who finished with a superb left-legged shot.
If Network thought that was the end of their misery, they were to be humbled further with another goal by Kenneth at the half hour mark.
Receiving a cross field ball from Wai Meng, Kenneth ran half the length of the pitch on the right flank and then unleash a vicious cross-shot which deceived everyone including himself to land in the net via the post. Absolute stunner and if there was one person who could produce such moments, it had to be Kenneth who had scored with a similar effort during Myjia's first season.
4-0 at halftime, Myjia were undeniably bouyant and ecstatic by a superb team performance in the first half.
Player-manager Vincent Low advised the team against complacency and the aggressive tactics to be deployed by Network during the halftime talk and he was proven spot-on with his advice.
Network visibly increased their tempo and were imposing themselves more in the tackle. In all fairness, Network were much harder but never overly aggressive.
It took Network all of five minutes in the second half to start their mini revival.
Reserve goalkeeper Aaron Tan who had a quiet first half was half a second late in coming off his line and despite Vincent Low's best attempt to ward off the attacker, he could not prevent the striker from toepoking the ball into the Myjia net.
A succession of quickfire goals saw Network pull the score to 4-3 and it was only the heroics of Aaron that prevented Myjia from losing their grip on the match.
Despite Network's best efforts, it was Myjia who eventually had the last laugh.
A deep throw in by Wilson Tan found Wai Meng in the Network box and after evading past a defender, Wai Meng thumped a powerful shot into the top corner to provide Myjia with a two-goal cushion at 5-3.
Network managed another goal but were finally nailed down in the closing minutes when Wai Meng's freekick found the head of Junhao who put the game out of Network's reach for a pulsating 6-4 victory on the opening day of Season Three for Myjia.

MYJIA THRASHED!
Serangoon - Myjia ended the season with a heavy defeat at Serangoon but with cause for optimism.
Despite being thrashed 7-1 by a vastly superior opponent, Myjia can look to the quality of its own passing game as well as the chances carved out for the overall improvement of the team compared to the previous season.
As early as the third minute, Myjia showed that they feared no one and when Junhao managed to break free of his marker, everyone had expected the prolific frontman to bury his chance only for Junhao to miss uncharacteristically.
Another chance was carved out minutes later when Junhao laid a cushioned touch for Waimeng only for the midfielder to lose his footing.
More memorably throughout the game, Kenneth Koh and Ng Yongchun both had their chances to score, especially the latter who had at least four good chances only for ill luck to prolong his barren spell in front of goal.
One such chance for Yongchun rebounded off the upright and Junhao was only half a yard away to put the ball into the net before the defender cleared the ball.
Kenneth himself skied a volley over from six yards out though in fairness, it was more of a half-chance than anything.
Player-manager Vincent Low, playing in a forward position, showed good touches and flick-ons as a target man was just as unlucky in front of goal as his team mates.
The first chance coming off a cross from Waimeng saw Vincent rise the highest only to nod the ball agonisingly wide of goal. Vincent's second chance on goal forced the keeper into a terrific diving save who had the ball tipped round the post. Vincent's final chance which came minutes into second half injury time resulted in another display of brilliant goalkeeping.
The corner from Junhao was swung in with venom and Vincent again showed a good spring to meet the ball powerfully. The keeper immediately sprung his heels to hold on to the header with the safest of catch.
The Serangoon Blues keeper, the man of the match for his heroics in goal very nearly conceded a goal after his poor clearance almost resulted in Wilson Tan embarassing him from outside the penalty box with a precise shot. Befitting of his form throughout the match, the keeper produced an amazing recovery to comfortably save the ball.
In the end, it took a penalty from Junhao to give Myjia a much deserved goal after Waimeng had been fouled in the box.
Nonetheless, despite the result, the signs are promising for Myjia in Season Three as long as the progress continues.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other News ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Myjia has confirmed the signing of midfielder Chan Mingchun for an undisclosed amount. The midfielder had been on trial for the past four matches upon the recommendation of Myjia scout Jean Lau.
Mingchun will be unveiled in the first team squad in Season Three.
ACCOLADES POUR IN
2/1/08, Report by L. Weimin
Myjia - Ever since the article by Myjia player-manager Vincent Low praising Myjia was featured on this website, Myjia Hotline has been bombarded by fans gushing in praise of the Myjia academy graduants.
"Ebenzer Low has improved so much this season! I love that wonder goal against Bowen Chinese!" exclaimed one excited caller who claims to have posters of Ebenzer pasted around the room.
Another unhappy fan of Ebenzer queried why his idol wasn't mentioned when player-manager Vincent Low praised the younger players. "Has he forgotten the strides Ebenzer made? The improved confidence and wingplay? and the two goals he notched? What is the manager doing?!"
Other fans were generally better natured. "The lad Wilkin has been pretty consistent throughout the season, hasn't he? The team has improved and Wilkin has proven to be tough nut to crack for opposing left wingers. Well done to the Myjia boy!"
Midfielder Wilson Tan wasn't short of praises either.
"I'm surprised Wilson hasn't won more awards given his improvement. Who can forget his dazzling run from the halfway line to score recently? The boy's got a decent touch and what's more he has improved by leaps and bounds tactically. He just needs to assert himself more in the game and bulk on a bit more. He's my man for this season," opined an anonymous senior fan.
Some fans were concerned about the absence of giant defender Sunny Rai.
"How is Sunny? Will he be available for the last game of the season? I can't wait to see him towering those headers in again!"
The younger imports were not to be left out.
" Delvin just seems to be getting faster and faster..Oops is that Delvin?" the fan joked as a mosquito swatted past during the interview. "His speed is his main asset and when he fully utilize it at the appropriate moment, he is one hell of a danger."
"Yongchun has a good footballing brain. Given his abilities, I wouldn't be surprised if he starts popping in a few goals. He's done really well since joining and now I am just waiting for him to score his first goal for Myjia," noted the same fan.
