Mavericks will be seeking to extend their winning streak after their last two victories against the young Las Hearutsusus and the senior Uncles. This weekend, they will be battling a new-born team, the Red team, which has yet to give itself a proper team name. Even though it will be their debut match, the strength of the Red Team is not to be underestimated as many of its players have been playing competitive football for quite some time. The Mavericks, however, will be missing several key players such as Chung Wei, Fuad and Jerome Boon Kee due to international duty. Expect to see one or two new faces in the side following the January transfer window which reached its deadline on Thursday nite.
Mavericks man-to-watch: Mike (No. 21)
Mavericks anchorman player Mike has been a great asset to the team since his arrival to Stade De Sembawang last year. Mainly as centre defender and defensive midfielder, Mike is exceptionally talented in reading the game and makes many crucial interventions to disrupt opponent's attacks. The most vivid incident of such was a crucial header by him against Las Hearutsusu F.C. last weekend. Being called upon to challenge for a header by Chao Xing, Mike was left to win a ball that was sent miles in the air by the opponent. Ironically, when given such a heavy responsibility, the anchorman turned and gave his million bucks smile to Jiun Wei (which seemed to imply, "Hey, my turn now. See, this is how you head the ball.") before heading it away to safety. Pure coolness displayed by Mike. Fans will be looking forward to see him in his action against the Reds.
