Team Prodigy face tough season ahead

Will this be a common sight during the new season?


Following their brilliant season in Division 7, Team Prodigy now face a daunting and more challenging season ahead of them as the level of soccer will definitely step up with their promotion to Division 5. Grouped with teams which have won championships before such as Benedetto Utd, Y Homeless FC, Ishkawa FC and other established teams such as British Exile and Singapore Pirates which have all experienced promotions before, one would feel this division would be more fiercely contested as compared to last season.

Despite the difficulties ahead, Team manager Ken believes that his team have what it takes to pose a challange to any team as the players have grown together through thick and thin in the past 3 seasons and the camaraderie built up will pull them through in difficult times.

He said: " We must not forget that we are a quality team ourselves and we have players who can hurt teams if we play to our strengths. With 58 goals scored last season, our strikeforce of James, Mick and Hongyao will score against any team in the whole of ESPZEN. "

"We are alot more experienced than when we first joined the league and now the team has grown stronger too as everyone is more familiar with the team's style of play."

When asked on the reacquaintance with old time nemesis, Benedetto United, Ken remains diplomatic: " We are looking forward to playing them again after our titanic tussle 2 seasons ago. It is good to see how far we have come since season 9 and I believe Mick has some unfinished business with them. Whatever the result, I hope the game is played in a sporting way. It is still early in the season and the pressure is not as much as last time and we just hope we will play well, that is the least I can hope for."

On the transfer front, Prodigy has secured the signature of former ACJC defender Kee Yi Arn for the season after he impressed during the recent preseason friendlies. A visibly delighted Yi Arn quipped: " I am delighted to join Team Prodigy as I have heard of good things about them from Brandon. I hope to be able to help the team win more trophies in future! "
Indeed, Prodigy will need the contributions and commitments of every single player if they are to enjoy a season as successful as last season.
