Fly Boy Zulkefly
Grilled International youth defender Zulkefly bin Mohd Hardiman would snag the transfer he needed after nearly a full month of scouring, as he was taken on an apprentice contract by Spanish VII.737 side Laszlo Boys. Head coach Jorge Enrique Caycedo had only just signed his first trainee, Xavi Sanahuja from BD-Boys United Barcelona CAT a division up, and by the looks of it, Caycedo is after an imposing backline.
Size and height was always something that Zulkefly excelled at, and while it was not enough to get him a spot with Brunei's Orangutans youth outfit, International scout Zulfadly bin Hj Ratano would be convinced by the easy six-footer. Although true defensive instinct frequently eluded him with the Busy Bees, assistant coach Hafiz bin Hj Lamat remains optimistic that this can be sorted out. "He's big, he's athletic, he has enough heart. The rest is just technique."
Well, it was looking as if that wouldn't be enough until the Boys came calling, and Zulfadly would admit to almost giving up on a footballing career, as he watched the senior team demolish Berne Selection International 8-2 from the stands. It was a fine day for
Fausto Perono indeed, whose hat-trick lifted him two goals clear in the league scoring charts, ahead of a very crowded field that now has six men - including Banović and Indurain - on four apiece. Pity
Tommy Dongelmans, who scored twice himself driving the team from the back, only to have his right knee go out in the 74th minute. It seems fortunately a temporary concern.
Grilled International have a decision to make on Zulkefly's more-distinguished Bees buddy Fadlin bin Hj Mohd Salleh Mother club bonus, however, and head coach
Didi Reidenbach is reportedly consulting closely with all involved parties, on whether to keep the 17 year-old youth star at the club.
"He's one of the best that the Bees have produced in recent seasons - one of the most balanced all-around players, certainly - but what's right for us may not be right for him." Reidenbach said. "Frankly, while I am loathe to let him go just like that, it's hard to slot him in the current squad too."
