Haq Announced Retirement..



URAWA Reds FC are stunned by a shocking decision of their co-captain, Haq Husin. Haq announced his retirement soon after the 2-1 friendly match win against Galacticos. This decision has left void in the attacking options of the team after Antonio who also left the team last term.
Asked on why he chose this way, Haq said "Actually I've considered this (decision) for several months ago but I still can not afford it since Urawa are not in a strong situation yet. But after two weeks in pre-season training, I can see the bright future of this team. Hence, it's time for hanging my boots."
After three years with URAWA, Haq, the team's 2-season co-captain has led URAWA Reds to quarterfinal in 2006 and semifinal in 2007. A farewell celebration will be held during URAWA friendly match against Sona FC this Tuesday for his contribution to URAWA. This also means URAWA might have to choose Shahrani as a potential captain for this season.

URAWA Post Match Conference

On the result...
First of all thanks God for giving us this result. It's a pleasure to have won. At the starting point, you'll always want to win. It shows what we can offer to them.

On attacking approach..
We need to try our attacking options by not always depend on Kuchai alone. Of course he is a fantastic player but you won't know what will happen next, either he will be unavailable to play or retire from football. Statistically we should have scored 5 to 6 especially on the 2nd half. It shows how this approach can provide something.

On defensive..
Our defenders gave their best to prove it(their worth). I'm quite happy with the way of them play with other. We also tried some options on right back as well as on centre.

On Potential Transfers..
At the moment we have to consider several potential players. So far it's good to say that we satisfied with their forms. They showed how they can contribute to us. Aziz and Azmeer are very promising. Kiwi and Ikang are very2 good as well.

On next fixture..
We'd like to try several players on our list. I had to say that the last game still needs some improvements. So we'll have our next game on Tuesday at 5.30 pm. Fans are very2 welcome to support. TQ
