KUCHING - Enam pemain baru Sarawak yang menggalas cabaran pasukan baru mereka, berikrar akan menunjukkan kemampuan sebenar masing-masing pada saingan Liga Malaysia 2010, Isnin ini.

Selepas mengikat kontrak secara rasmi bulan lalu, mereka bersama lima lagi pemain Piala Presiden sudah menunjukkan keserasian untuk bersama 13 lagi pemain lama bagi mengibarkan cabaran skuad 'ngap sayot' untuk kembali ke saingan Liga Super pada musim 2011.

Ternyata, kehadiran enam pemain baru itu bukan sahaja memperkuatkan setiap posisi pasukan Sarawak, yang sebelum ini mungkin dianggap masih muda, malah pengalaman mereka dalam mengharungi saingan liga sebelum ini nyata memberi manfaat kepada pemain sedia ada.

Enam pemain baru Sarawak ialah pemain penyerang, Efendi Abd Malek (Negeri Sembilan) dan Azralan Azmi; pemain pertahanan, Wong Sai Kong (Sabah) dan Abdul Aziz Ismail (ATM); pemain tengah, Rafiz Abu Bakar (Kedah) dan penjaga gol, Mohd. Suffian Ab. Rahman (KM Naza).

Pemain yang ditemui nyata bersemangat untuk mengembalikan era kegemilangan pasukan 'bujang senang'.
