This afternoon we overcame local rival Yuen Long FC 1-0 in the FA Cup 1/4 final at The Tsuen Kwan O Stadium to progress through to the semi final next month. It was a tough game as it always is against Yuen Long but we showed excellent team spirit and togetherness to get through to the semi final. We have three more league games to go so we will look to finish as strong as possible to make sure we finish as high as possible in the league table.
Yesterday afternoon we put in a very solid display to beat Rangers 3-0, we showed excellent professionalism to make sure we came away with all three points, that was our 4th victory in the last 5 games.
Despite being out of the Sapling Cup at the group stage we put in an excellent performance in the last group stage game beating RnF 4-2 at the Yuen Long stadium. The result is a good confidence booster ahead of the upcoming away league games we have.
Yesterday we narrowly lost the local derby against Yuen Long FC which was a bitter blow after the victory last week. We have one week to dust ourselves down and prepare for the home game next weekend against lee Man Rangers Fc.
After a series of frustrating draws and narrow defeats we returned to winning ways this weekend with a very solid 1-0 victory against Dreams Sports Club, it was our first home for several months after six consecutive away games so it was pleasing to be able to put a smile on the faces of the fans again. We now have a local derby to look forward to next weekend when we travel to rivals Yuen Long FC for what promises to be an entertaining clash.
Yesterday afternoon we narrowly lost away to Tai Po FC 1-0 in a very closely fought game, we created several clear cut chances but unfortunately could not finish off the game and ultimately got punished in the 88th minute, its a frustrating period for all associated with the club at the moment but we are confident we can turn it around and finish the season on a positive note.
We now switch attention to the Sapling Cup and the game against Pegasus next weekend.
Yesterday we drew 2-2 with Pegasus at the Hong Kong Stadium, after a dominant first half display leading 1-0 we came out the second half in good spirit only to lose a soft equaliser. We showed good character to immediately get the lead but unfortunately deep into stoppage time we let the lead slip to draw the game 2-2. We are unbeaten in two games but looking back should have two wins from these games, we must remain positive and believe in ourselves that the wins will come and we will start to creep up the table.
Last night we drew 2-2 with my former club Kitchee at the Mong Kok stadium. The performance was excellent from everyone and we really appreciate the support from our travelling fans. The game marked the debut of Diego Forlan for Kitchee, its a great signing for the profile of the league here in Hong Kong. We take plenty of positives from the game ahead of another tough game next weekend at the Hong Kong Stadium against high flying Pegasus Fc.
Last week I spoke to the leading football magazine in Hong Kong, Football Weekly about my time with KC Southern District FC and about the work of my Foundation in the UK and Asia. Its always good to give some insights on the work of the Foundation and hopefully the work in Asia can continue to expand.
On Christmas day we played our eagerly awaited cup semi final against Eastern Long Lions Fc at the Mong Kok Stadium in front of a festive crowd. We dominated the chances in the game but unfortunately we could not convert the several clear cut chances we created, eventually narrowly losing 1-0. We now have a mini break to dust ourselves down, regroup and make sure we improve our performances in the second half of the season.
Last night we lost 3-1 away to Lee Man Rangers in the League, it was a hugely frustrating game in which took an early lead but unfortunately let ourselves down with a poor first half display. We dominated the second half proceedings but it was too little too late. We now have two weeks to prepare for a huge semi final game against Eastern in the Community Shield. We will stick together as a group of players and staff in order to be ready for the next game and give our fans something to cheer about.
This afternoon we drew 1-1 with my former club Kitchee in the Sapling Cup in an end to end game either team could of won, we created some clear cut chances with the game at 1-0 but unfortunately could not see out the game and allowed Kitchee an equaliser in the second half. We showed excellent character today to put in a very good team performance full of spirit and desire. We now have a week to prepare for a very important league game next weekend. The young players who played today were excellent and showed real promise and potential.
Last night we played an excellent game but unfortunately lost 1-0 to Eastern Fc in the latter stages of a hotly contested game, their was a heated atmosphere during the game with tempers running high on both sides, we must dust ourselves down, regroup and find some momentum in the league. There is still three quarters of the season to go so we have time to go on a good run of form.
We lost 0-1 at the weekend to a very good Tai Po side, it was a very frustrating afternoon for us at both ends of the field. We need to now brush our selves down, rectify some mistakes and work even harder ahead of the next league game again Eastern in two weeks time. There was some very good individual performances from the players, however we could not break down a well drilled Tai Po team. I would like to wish them all the best for the rest of the season.
It was pleasing to reach the 400 career game milestone today, it was disappointing to lose the game against Rangers in the group stage of the Sapling Cup but we still have a long way to go in the group and still have a good chance of getting through to the next stage. We must now regroup and focus on the next League game against Tai Po next weekend which will be a difficult game.
Yesterday we booked our place in the Senior Shield Semi Final by dispatching Lee Man Rangers 2-0 in the 1/4 final, it was a very well drilled performance from the payers. We now look forward to the start of the Sapling Cup next week before the league schedule begins.
We showed good spirit to bounce back from the last defeat with a very hard fought 3-0 win over Yuen Long in a local derby game. It was very important for us to correct the mistakes from the previous game and put up a decent performance in order to regain the confidence form the previous two wins, it was pleasing to get our first clean sheet of the season. We now have one week to prepare for the next game. On a personal note I was delighted to see over 30 participants from the ZRF and KC Southern community pilot programme at the game.
Yesterday we lost away to home in a very disappointing performance, after two back to back wins we must now go back to the training ground and rectify the mistakes and try to bounce back in the next game in a few weeks time. There were lots of lessons learned for certain players so hopefully they can take on board those lessons and put them right in the next game.
Today we had an excellent victory against R & F at home 3-1, it was a very good team display with good tactical discipline and team spirit. Hopefully we can continue the momentum in the next game.
On Saturday we registered our first league win of the season at home to HK Rangers FC, it proved to be a difficult game due to the testing weather conditions. We now look forward to the next game in a weeks time which is also at our home stadium. I would like to thank the fans who sat in the rain to support the team today, it was hugely appreciated by all of us. On a personal note I was pleased to get an assist.
I recently did an interview for ON.CC Tv in Hong Kong talking about the season ahead and the work of my Foundation in the UK. I would love to bring the work of the Zesh Rehman Foundation to Hong Kong in the near future.
Happy Birthday Souza, 28 today. Some pictures of our training ground celebrations with the birthday boy!!
We opened the season with a home game against Pegasus FC at the Aberdeen Sports Ground in scorching heat at 230pm. The team competed very well and were very unfortunate to have 3 genuine penalty appeals turned down as well as two players sent off which changed the complexion of the game. It was a hugely frustrating afternoon but we must dust ourselves down, regroup and prepare for the next game after the International break which again is at home. It was nice to be back in competitive action in the Hong Kong Premier League, there is still a very long way to go this season so we will remain positive and keep working hard everyday to get some wins under out belt.
The whole squad attended the club press conference to meet the fans, sponsors and unveil the new kit for the upcoming season. The staff behind the scenes deserve a lot of credit for organising an excellent event.
The squad witnessed a live J League game on the tour to Japan. It was a fantastic experience to see the high level of technical ability on show, Japan is ranked in the top three of Asian Nations so it was excellent to see top placed side Kashima Antlers Fc play.
Pre season has entered its 3rd week of preparations, the squad came has come away to Japan in an effort to step up our fitness level and play some friendly games. The squad has integrated well and the new lads are gelling together. The level of football in Japan is very high and is possibly one of the best standards in Asia.
I am pleased to be supporting Chelsea FC Search for an Asian star campaign for the a 9th consecutive year in a row, this year marks the 10th anniversary of the popular national competition and have also taken a groundbreaking step by allowing female participation.
