Ismail Faruqi's flair flourish

1. A massive dissapointment for Terengganu especially new coach Peter Butler, as they have shown the exit door by neighbours Kelantan in last night AFC cup last 16 clash.

2. On overall, i saw unfortunate Terengganu for failing to settle early in the game that was delayed about half an hour due to heavy rain. The pitch was not in the best possible condition, both team were forced to play long and high ball in order to avoid stagnant water.

3. But i am definately delighted with the performance of Terengganu's promising star, ISMAIL FARUQI. He was the only one who, in my personal opinion lead Terengganu's resurgence in the second half. His comfortable first touch has helped him in bringing the ball down to the floor with ease. Once the ball at his feet, you can expect something to be happened.

4. From first touch, vision, dribbling, passing, up to shooting (as he demonstrated during first goal), Ismail's game has improved significantly. If he will be given more regular playing time in the first eleven, i believe Ismail could become the next playmaker to push for place in the national team. Not suprise if one day Datuk K Rajagobal to pick him instead of Safiq Rahim! Who knows...
