The rise of the 'Twin Destroyer'

Probably the most improved player this season. Playing together with an established Malaysian international Midfielder, S Veenod impressed me with his determination in the middle of the park.

Fit in well with Irfan Bakti's style of play, the former USM Fc player proved that the team can rely on him in for giving that extra protection to the back four.  In fact, he made the differences since Safiq Rahim left Selangor this year.

Role and responsibility:

This year Selangor prefered for a disciplined lineup, rather than a more adventurous side. A pair of hardworking midfielder enhance the chance of gaining better ball possesion by winning every second ball. Aggresive in nature, S Veenod and K Gurusamy constant running from box to box, allowing flair players like Amri Yahyah and S Kunanlan more freedom in attack.

Superb performance by both of them during the massive victory over big spenders JDT last weekend, followed by tonight encouraging display against Tampines Rovers in the AFC Cup, I thought these two great stallions were the unsung heros.

For so many occasions, they were succesfully closing down the opponents movement by shutting the potential route path. They were quick to get behind the ball to do the defending job. When the opponent managed to get past one of the back four, either one of them will do the back tracking and performed that timely tackles to clear the danger.

Great future ahead:

The dynamic duo will have a bright future in the game, at club level and also at international level. If they stay fit, i see both of them will follow the footsteps of other Selangor greats such as K Sambagamaran, P Maniam, K Gunalan and not forgetting the current legend in Amri yahyah.

They play with no fear, stick to the task and always give maximum effort for the team. Dictating, enforcing the midfield  is not an easy job. But the 'Twin Destroyer' are ready to stamp their authority in Malaysian football.
