"COME AND FIGHT" TO BE IN OGURA'S RADAR
Is it too early to conclude anything from just two games after Tsutomu Ogura took charge?
Probably in some cases but judging from the sentiments from the public, things are looking positive when fans lauded the performances of the Singapore national team after their two recent World Cup Qualifying matches against China.
Despite having drew 2-2 at home before losing 4-1 away to the Chinese, the Lions put up spirited displays against the team that is ranked 88th on FIFA ranking (as in the time of writing).
The wild celebration ignited by Jacob Mahler's equaliser at Kallang on 21st March was matched by the fist clenching moment for the soft penalty given to the Chinese in Tianjin that resulted the hosts to take the lead and propelled them to a face-saving win.
Both The Straits Times and CNA praised the performance of the Lions in spite of the defeat in third largest municipality of China.
"The Lions put up a brave performance against China in the Group C World Cup qualifier in Tianjin but were ultimately undone by a controversial second-half penalty and wayward defending as the hosts clinched a 4-1 victory" wroted the broadsheet in their post-match assessment.
Meanwhile, the Mediacorp news channel opined "It was a scoreline that did not truly reflect a largely gritty display from Singapore, but football is a cruel game."
Such a compliment was rarely heard of during the time of Takayuki Nishigaya, Coach Ogura's predecessor, who was subjected to intense scrutiny from all parties since his first day in office.
If the present consensus on Coach Ogura is an indication of any kind, it could mean the faith on Singapore national team can be restored soon if things are remain on the right trajectory.
As the start of the Singapore Premier League (SPL) approaches, I am hopeful that the recent performances of the Lions under Coach Ogura will motivate and inspire other eligible players to compete for a spot to join the team at Kallang Football Hub for the upcoming qualifying matches in June.

BREAKING - NO POINT RUSHING AND GET BACKFIRED, RIGHT?
It is the right move. No point rushing and ended up having a new side barely enough time to get ready for the season which is merely weeks away.

"The Sailors have retained the majority of their squad that saw them finish runners-up last season, while adding Bart Ramselaar, who joined from Dutch Eredivisie side Utrecht, Croatian centre back Toni Datkovic and fan favourite Song Ui-young. All three were in action in the friendly game in front of a sell-out crowd of 2,477 at the Bishan Stadium."
