Just a week ago, after the 5-2 victory against Team Sedare Din, Team Hummel called themselves the next 'Chelsea'. The 'untouchables'. The 'divine footballers'. After a humiliating 2-5 defeat against Team Sedare Khai yesterday, the Hummelians were firmly brought back to Earth after soaring so high a week ago.

Not to say that Team Hummel lacked quality. In fact, they do have quality players. However, sadly, some of their players have yet to hit top form.

The game started off brilliantly for Team Hummel as the opponents has to start the game with only 10 men. However, instead of capitalising on their extra man, Team Hummel looked lost, sluggish, and even at times amatuerish with their style of play. This, even with the presence of Team Hummel's top creative player, Dzul and their ever-reliable captain, Adib Aiman. So much so that after 59 minutes of play, Team Hummel was shockingly down 5-0!

Most of the supporters that were present at the East View Sec Stadium were expectedly puzzled and flabbergasted at Team Hummel's showing. Rumour has it that the match was bought and controlled by the notorious bookies. However, we cannot confirm.

We managed to spot a prominent figure from among the crowds, a former Malaysian captain that won the 1999 Malaysian Cup and current ESPN pundit, Mr Shebby Singh. He, too, was disgusted at Team Hummel's performance.

"I was very,very sad to see them play like that. They have very good players in the team with great potential but many were played out-of-position.

You have Rahmat playing at centreback? Come on man, he is a playmaker.

Azree as a lone striker? What the fuck. He lacks aggression and support. I counted that he was offside for more than 10 times, John. Where is the positioning? The awareness?

Rusydi at left mid? Did you guys fought with him? No one passed him the ball! Same too for Sadiq. You guys must make sure that the two left-legged midfielder's talents are fully utilised.
