Negeri Sembilan striker Jean Owona told to behave
Top Negeri Sembilan goal poacher Jean Owona has been warned not to get into unnecessary trouble.
Head coach Mohd Azraai Khor Abdullah said the two-match ban on Owona has put the team in a difficult spot ahead of their Super League matches matches against Kuala Lumpur at the Hang Jebat Stadium today and Lions XII at the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium in Paroi on April 3.
“Everyone knows Owona is the main man for goals … and to have him out for two matches is a blow to our league campaign,” said a disappointed Azraai yesterday.
Negeri’s campaign has been far from smooth.
They are seventh in the standings on 15 points and trail leaders Kelantan by eight points. Their FA Cup campaign is over after losing 2-1 to Johor FC in the first round in Paroi.
Azraai said they have no room for any slip-ups and need maximum points from the next two outings to ensure their rise in the standings.
“Yes, playing well and scoring regularly is one thing but that does not mean you can compromise on discipline.
“Players must learn to behave themselves and not get into unecessary trouble by picking up suspensions and leaving the team in a dilemma,” said Azraai.
Cameroon striker Owona is the leading marksman with nine goals but will pay a heavy price for his own folly after being slapped with a two-match ban and a RM3,000 fine for pulling Felda
United goalkeeper Mohd Hamsani Ahmad’s ears and for pushing S. Sivanesan on the cheek in a Super League match at the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium in Paroi on Jan 21.
“Owona should understand by now that he is a marked man in the competition.
“He should also understand the way the game is played here and cope with it. If he (Owona) can’t get along and continues to get himself into trouble, then, it leaves me with no choice but to look at other alternatives,” said Azraai.

Kedah coach Wan Jamak have no sentiments against former team Negeri Sembilan
Sentiments will be put aside when Kedah coach Wan Jamak Wan Hassan plots the downfall of his former team Negeri Sembilan on his first return to the Paroi Stadium since his sacking last year.
With Negeri on a four-match winless run, today's Super League match provides Wan Jamak the chance to extend a resurgent Kedah's six-match unbeaten streak despite having several key players out through injury.
Wan Jamak was given the boot by Negeri after a poor start to the 2011 season and replaced by former Kedah coach Azraai Khor Abdullah who then led the side to Malaysia Cup glory.
"Moving from one team to another is a part and parcel of professional football. As a professional, my only focus is on ensuring Kedah wins tomorrow's (today) match.
"As they say the ball is round and may the best team win," said Wan Jamak, who declined the opportunity to reflect on his time at Negeri where he won the Malaysia Cup in 2009 and the FA Cup in 2010.
Kedah face a number of injury problems with Fauzi Nan, Abdul Latif Suhaimi and Ahmad Basri Wahid ruled out with ligament injuries while captain Baddrol Baktiar and Amar Rohidan are struggling with knee and thigh injuries respectively.
But Kedah have not lost since Wan Jamak returned from a seven-match ban imposed by FA of Malaysia last season for criticism of match officials and reached the FA Cup quarter-finals last week after beating neighbours Perlis 3-2 in Alor Star.
Kedah's improved form also can be attributed to the signing of Frenchman Abdulfatah Safi who has scored twice already since his signing along with Hamidan Mohammed of Ghana in place of Brazilians Danilo Vivaldo and Daniel Baroni last month.
The Ghanaian however appears to be living on borrowed time after being warned to start scoring.
"I have given Hamidan a stern warning to buck up. He has continuously failed to show a good performance. This is not the time for me to teach him how to score goals because if he came here as an import with a certain status, he should be able to show it," said Wan Jamak.
Negeri, who have not won since beating T-Team 2 -1 in Paroi on Feb 8, will have skipped Norhafiz Zamani Misbah back in defence after his absence through injury was sorely felt in a 2-1 defeat at Kelantan in their last outing.

Kelantan extend lead in Super League
Super League holders Kelantan extended their lead at the top of the standings after edging Negeri Sembilan 2-1 at the Sultan Mohd IV Stadium last night.
Winger S. Chanturu was the toast of the Red Warriors when he struck the winner in the 93rd minute.
Kelantan skipper Mohd Badri Mohd Radzi’s opener in the second minute was cancelled out by Negeri striker Mohd Shakir Ali in the 54th. With the win, the east coast side have 20 points from nine matches and they lead neighbours Terengganu by three points.
Negeri are seventh with 12 points from nine matches. Kelantan made a rousing start last night when Badri’s shot took a wicked deflection off Negeri defender G. Mahathevan before beating Negeri goalkeeper Farizal Marlias.
Buoyed by the early goal, Kelantan pressed forward for more goals but they could do with the clinical finishing of striker Norshahrul Idlan Talaha, who was sidelined by injury.
The hosts were dealt a blow after their inspirational centreback S. Subramaniam picked up an injury towards the end of the first-half.
Subramaniam’s replacement, Mohd Farisham Ismail, took time to settle in the second-half and the Deer were quick to take advantage.
Striker Shakir outjumped the Kelantan defence to head home S. Kunalan’s corner for the equaliser.
Three minutes into time added on, Chanturu was the quickest to react in a goalmouth melee to stab home from close range.

Kelantan were on the offensive early in front of their own fans and scored in the second minute.
The goal came from Mohd Badri Radzi with the ball deflected from G.Mahathevan's leg before hitting the back of the net.
The goal spurred the Red Warriors who kept pushing forward and made several attempts but to no avail.

Negeri Sembilan hoping to improve defending against Kelantan
Negeri Sembilan will have to plug a big hole in their defence for the Super League clash against leaders Kelantan on Sunday.
National centreback Norhafiz Zamani Misbah is out with a knee injury sustained during a friendly against Armed Forces in Paroi on Tuesday and the Deer will certainly feel his absence.
But coach Mohd Azraai Khor Abdullah is not pressing the panic button.
Azraai, who led Kedah to back-to-back treble titles in 2007 and 2008, has a contingency plan in place.
“I have pencilled in big Maha (G. Mahathevan) to replace Norhafiz in defence. It is a big match and to lose a key player of Norhafiz’s calibre is indeed a big blow,” said Azraai.
“But I’m confident Maha can step in and do well in this position again. He did it against Kelantan in the Charity Shield in January.”
Midfielder-turn-defender Mahathevan was impeccable against the Red Warriors in that match, which Negri won 2-1.
But Azraai was quick to acknowledge that it would be different this time as Mahathevan will have to operate without Norhafiz.
“Maha has progressed well and has even won a call-up to the national team. This will be a big test for him to show what he is capable of,” said Azraai.
Mahathevan is currently with the national team on a playing tour of East Malaysia and the Philippines.
Negri’s seasoned campaigners – Mohd Shukor Adan and Idris Karim – will be back in the squad after missing the Charity Shield through injury.
But all eyes will be on Negeri’s top hitman, Cameroonian striker Jean-Emmanuel Owona, who has scored five goals, including the brace against Kelantan in the Charity Shield.

Kelantan will meet Kuala Lumpur in the second round on March 10. The City side defeated Muar MC 3-0.
Sarawak coach Robert Alberts said his players did not play to their full potential but praised his Cameroon signing Guy Bwele.
Sarawak should have won the match in the dying minutes but their Croatian striker Vedran Muratovic ballooned a sitter which eventually cost his side a famous win.
“I’m proud of my team’s performance despite the players not playing to their true potential. Kelantan have invested the most in players and should beat us,” said Alberts.
In Kuala Terengganu, Abdul Manaf Mamat hit a brace for the Turtles in the 38th and 65th minutes while Abdul Hadi Yahya (10th) and Francis Doe (80th) nailed one each.
The night’s upset saw the fall of Negri Sembilan to club side Johor FC 1-2 at the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium in Paroi.
Arthuro Bernhardt was the hero for Johor FC, scoring a brace in the 25th and 81st minutes while Jean-Emmanuel Owona replied for Negri in the 31st minute.
Johor FC will meet Selangor in the next round.
In Temerloh, Selangor skipper Mohd Amri Yahyah celebrated his 100th goal en route to the Red Giants’ 4-0 whitewash of FAM Cup side Shahzan Muda.
New signing Bosko Balaban scored in his second consecutive match in the 21st minute before Mohd Safiq Rahim netted a brace in the 65th and 72nd minutes.

Selangor appeared to be putting a more orderly game with Safiq Rahim scoring the first goal with a powerful shot in the 47th minute while Selangor newcomer made it 2-0 in the 75th minute.
However, Kelantan's consolation goal came in the 92nd minute courtesy of S.Subramaniam.

Negeri Sembilan signs Slovakian defender Marian Farbak
Negeri Sembilan signed another import player before the registration dateline to strengthen the team's challenge for the Super League title this season.
Assistant team manager Hamzah Mohd Nor said the player, Marian Farbak, 29, a defender from Slovakia would join the team as the second import player as Negeri Sembilan had already secured the services of a player from Cameroon earlier.
"This player has played for a Slovakian Division 1 League Club and his last club was the Tatran Presov Club. He is 1.93cm tall and is expected to be a pillar of strength in defence with his ability to cut off high balls played into the box," he told Bernama here, Tuesday.
Negeri Sembilan signed striker Jean-Emmanuel Effa Owana, 24, from Cameron before the start of the Super League.
He said Farbak was expected to play in the NS-PKNS match, here, tonight.
Negeri Sembilan now has 11 points and sits in fifth spot after playing seven matches in the 14-team Super League competition.

Singapore get convincing win over Negeri Sembilan
Captain Shahril Ishak's brace earned Singapore's LionsXII a 3-1 victory over last season's Malaysia Cup champions Negeri Sembilan at the Jalan Besar Stadium yesterday.
Negeri played below par on the artificial pitch against a spirited Lions side determined to earn their first victory in three matches.
Lions were awarded a spot kick after Negeri's Shahurain Abu Samah handled the ball in the penalty box in the 31st minute and Shahril easily converted it past goalkeeper Farizal Marlias.
Shahdan Sulaiman added their second five minutes after the breather before Shahril got his name on the scoresheet in the 60th minute.
Lions were unlucky not to increase their lead after attempts from Sufian Anuar and Irwan Shah went wide in the closing stages.
Firdaus Azizul reduced the deficit for Negri four minutes into injury time.

Struggling Selangor lose again as Kelantan lead standings in Super League
Defending champions Kelantan surged to the top of the Super League after they edged bitter rivals Terengganu 2-1 at the Sultan Mohd IV Stadium in Kota Baru last night.
National striker Norshahrul Idlan Talaha fired the Red Warriors ahead in the 37th minute before skipper Mohd Badhri Radzi added a second in the 52nd.
Substitute Abdul Manaf Mamat pulled one back for the Turtles in the 91st minute.
Kelantan lead the standings on 17 points as overnight leaders Perak crashed to a surprise 0-2 defeat to T-Team at the Sultan Ismail Stadium in Kuala Terengganu.
The Seladang slipped to second on 15 points.
Norizan Bakar’s charges conceded two goals in the second-half with T-Team’s Bosnian import Bojan Patrick (56th minute) and Zairo Annuar Zailani (88th, penalty) on target.
In Kelana Jaya, PKNS FC grabbed their first win of the season by beating Selangor 2-0 at the MBPJ Stadium.
Former Selangor striker Rudie Ramli drew first blood for PKNS in the 35th minute before Helmi Remeli blasted home a second goal in the 61st.
It was a double blow for the Red Giants, who were unable to field Croatian striker Bosko Balaban as he has yet to receive his International Transfer Certificate (ITC).
Even the return of Lebanese central defender, Ramez Dayoub, from a one-match suspension failed to keep Selangor steady.
A defensive lapse allowed Rudie to sneak a goal past Selangor goalkeeper Norazlan Razali before Helmi nodded home from Fauzan Dzulkifli’s cross.
Selangor came close to an equaliser in the 43rd minute when Mohd Fitri Shazwan Raduwan’s glancing header hit the crossbar.
Selangor’s insipid display continued in the second half as they failed to stamp any authority on the match. The lack of an out-and-out striker is also another cause of the team’s downfall.
Singapore’s Lions XII skipper Shahril Ishak netted a brace in their 3-1 win over Negri Sembilan at the Jalan Besar Stadium.
Shahril got his first from a spot kick in the 31st minute after Negri midfielder Shahurain Abu Samah handled the ball inside the box.
Shahdan Sulaiman fired the Lions’ second in the 50th minute before Shahril sealed the winner in the 59th minute.
Mohd Firdaus Azizul scored Negri’s consolation goal in the 90th minute.
The Singaporeans are now fourth with 11 points, ahead of Negri on goal difference.
In Kuching, Mohd Asri Chuchu struck a las-gasp winner in Sarawak’s come-from-behind 2-1 win over Felda United at the Sarawak Stadium.
The Crocodiles fell behind after Felda’s Mohd Asri found the net in the 38th minute.
Croatian striker Vedran Muratovic made it level for the homesters in the 50th minute before the 18-year-old Asri hit the winner from close range in the last minute.
Johor FC defeated Kuala Lumpur 2-0 at the Hang Jebat Stadium with Haris Safwan (7th minute) and substitute Jasazrin Jamaluddin (86th) scoring the goals.

Norizan Bakar’s charges conceded two goals in the second-half with T-Team’s Bosnian import Bojan Patrick (56th minute) and Zairo Annuar Zailani (88th, penalty) on target.
In Kelana Jaya, PKNS FC grabbed their first win of the season by beating Selangor 2-0 at the MBPJ Stadium.
Former Selangor striker Rudie Ramli drew first blood for PKNS in the 35th minute before Helmi Remeli blasted home a second goal in the 61st.
It was a double blow for the Red Giants, who were unable to field Croatian striker Bosko Balaban as he has yet to receive his International Transfer Certificate (ITC).
Even the return of Lebanese central defender, Ramez Dayoub, from a one-match suspension failed to keep Selangor steady.
A defensive lapse allowed Rudie to sneak a goal past Selangor goalkeeper Norazlan Razali before Helmi nodded home from Fauzan Dzulkifli’s cross.
Selangor came close to an equaliser in the 43rd minute when Mohd Fitri Shazwan Raduwan’s glancing header hit the crossbar.
Selangor’s insipid display continued in the second half as they failed to stamp any authority on the match. The lack of an out-and-out striker is also another cause of the team’s downfall.
Singapore’s Lions XII skipper Shahril Ishak netted a brace in their 3-1 win over Negri Sembilan at the Jalan Besar Stadium.
Shahril got his first from a spot kick in the 31st minute after Negri midfielder Shahurain Abu Samah handled the ball inside the box.
Shahdan Sulaiman fired the Lions’ second in the 50th minute before Shahril sealed the winner in the 59th minute.
Mohd Firdaus Azizul scored Negri’s consolation goal in the 90th minute.
The Singaporeans are now fourth with 11 points, ahead of Negri on goal difference.
In Kuching, Mohd Asri Chuchu struck a las-gasp winner in Sarawak’s come-from-behind 2-1 win over Felda United at the Sarawak Stadium.
The Crocodiles fell behind after Felda’s Mohd Asri found the net in the 38th minute.
Croatian striker Vedran Muratovic made it level for the homesters in the 50th minute before the 18-year-old Asri hit the winner from close range in the last minute.
Johor FC defeated Kuala Lumpur 2-0 at the Hang Jebat Stadium with Haris Safwan (7th minute) and substitute Jasazrin Jamaluddin (86th) scoring the goals.

The home team opened scoring through Norsharul Idlan Talaha in the 37th minute before skipper Mohd Badhri Mohd Radzi made it 2-0 in the 52nd minute.
Fighting an uphill battle, Terengganu reduced the deficit in the dying minutes of the match through Mohd Ashari Shamsudin.
Perak's hopes of staying at the top of the league fizzled out when they succumbed to a 0-2 defeat to T-Team at the Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium, Kuala Terengganu after a scoreless first half.

At the Petaling Jaya City Council Stadium, Kelana Jaya, Selangor had to eat a humble pie when they went down 0-2 to Selangor PKNS with one goal in each half from Rudie Ramli (33rd minute) and Helmi Remeli (60th minute).

Singapore coach worried over lack of goals
A weakened Singapore Lions XII are expecting a torrid time when they host an in–form Negeri Sembilan at the Jalan Besar Stadium today.
Fourth-placed Negeri, who have shone with strikers Jean-Emmanuel Owona of Cameroon and Mohd Shakir Ali being a constant menace to the opposition this season, will be bolstered by the return of inspirational national midfielder S. Kunalan from a two–match suspension.
Lions XII coach V. Sundramoorthy is hoping that defender Safuwan Baharuddin and midfielder Shahdan Sulaiman, who were rested against Selangor on Wednesday, will be fit to boost the depleted six-placed Singapore side.
They will also welcome back forwards Khairul Nizam and Fazli Ayob, who have both recovered from injuries.
But striker Khairul Amri, who suffered an ankle injury against Kuala Lumpur, is expected to undergo surgery and will be out for a spell.
The Lions are further weakened without the services of midfielder Firdaus Kasman, who was suspended indefinitely by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) for breaching their Code of Conduct & Professional Ethics.
Sundramoorthy said Negeri’s experience gave them the edge.
“Negeri have made a good start to the season with their strikers consistently finding the back of the net,” said the former Singapore international.
“They have an experienced coach in Azraai Khor and several seasoned players like Norhafiz Zamani Misbah and Mohd Shukor Adan.
“It will not be easy but we will go all out to earn full points in front of our fans.”
Sundramoorthy conceded that the Lions’ strikeforce are having a hard time getting on the scoresheet.
The Lions have netted only five times in their six league games, with the Deer boasting double the goal tally from the same number of matches.
“I admit our strikers are finding it hard and it is becoming a bit of a concern,” said the Lions XII coach.
“When the players are given a chance to play, they should use the opportunity to prove themselves.
“I’m not fully satisfied with their efforts and expect more, beginning with the match against Negeri.”

Negeri Sembilan still undecided over Brazilian midfielder Fernando
Negeri Sembilan coach Mohd Azraai Khor Abdullah said he needed a little time to assess the performance of his new Brazilian import, Fernando Augusto de Abreu Ferreira, especially in terms of fitness.
