New Faces

Much like any other league around the world,

there would inevitably be a team that provide the surprises,

challenges and gossips among other teams.

Much like Manchester City in the Barclays Premier League

with their huge injection of cash to improve their squad,

our very own FUMAS has the surprise team 

affectionately known as Hayato Chan, who are not cash-rich,

but passion and talent would be their treasure.

Taking a glimpse of the team name in the Sports section 

of the daily news report, one would not be able to guess 

the origin of the team name.

Consisting of only frosh members at the University of Toronto,

Hayato Chan is named after their well-known and respected

defender of the team, Izhar Hayato. 

Izhar

His passion, dedication and commitment for the game 

has catapulted his fame unto the futsal arena of stars.

To signify that this team means business,

and to represent the passion that every member of the team 

has for the beloved game of futsal, they have chosen to use 

the name that they currently carry right now.

The make up of the team consists of five other players

besides Izhar. They would be Galmier Dass (winger),

Shukry (winger), Muzakkir (midfielder), Fathuddin (midfielder)

and Edmond (forward). The performance of the team so far 

has been of much surprise. Labelled as the dark horses,

with their lack of familiarity to the court and chilly Toronto environment,

they have surprised many with their delightful counter-attacking performance.

Having the ability to absorb the opposing team's attacks with a rigid defense,

they break on the instant they are able to gather the opportunity.

Among one of the most entertaining players in the pool of players,

Galmier Dass has been likened to Cristiano Ronaldo for his 

delightful passes and pin point crosses, not to forget his powerful shots.

As for Shukry, he is the natural leader on the court for the team.

Dictating play most of the time, his leadership, skills, and vision

is second to none, and most often brings up the thought of Paul Scholes.

Having the ability to score goals in a blink of an eye,

he is definitely a player to look out for.

Shukry - in maroon.

Muzakkir, bright, hardworking and quick on his feet.

Without his contribution to the team, 

it would not be able to sit at second spot as it is now.

Having the knack for preventing goals from being scored

by the opposing team, his defensive skill is feared,

and his attacking prowess is also given due attention 

by spectators of all ages.

Muzakkir - known also as Zac

Another player as part of the team would be 

Fathuddin. 

Famous throughout the league for his never-ending stamina,

his tireless runs over the court to win the ball,

and unexpected but dedicated tackles on attacking players

are all part of his virtues that contribute so well for the team.

Never one to give up on a chase,

he has the ability to run down opponents,

and subdue them to the point of exhaustion.

Watch out for more of Fathuddin!

And last but not least, the team is made complete

with Edmond who plays as the team's forward.

Generally known as a defensive player,

the team has plotted a surprise move for their opponents 

to figure out by playing him as their attacker.

Able to run down opponents while they are having the ball,

he gives them no time to get comfortable with the ball.

Coming close to scoring a few times

with his interceptions on the opposing team,

he has shown that he is trying to adapt to his team's tactics.

Stay tuned for Week 3 of FUMAS

as team Hayato Chan takes to the court!
