HTUM Striker of the Season: Amish Gangawane

Langer House striker Amish Gangawane has been voted as the best striker of Federation by the members of the HTU Managers federation. The player showed his delight through a TV show on a local channel and coach Leonard Pavel took the opportunity to congratulate and motivate the strikers further.

”I am delighted with this award and really gives me a lot of motivation before the start of the season. I struggled in the I-League last season but I think my performances in the friendly tournaments like Golden League and particularly  HTUM Challenge Trophy convinced many HTU Manager’s members and I would like to thank all of them who voted for me. I hope I can get more goals in competitive matches and score many important goals for Langer House”, commented the Karnataka born striker on a TV channel showing a 15 minute clip of Langer House moving towards their new objectives.

In the same show is an interview of coach Leonard Pavel in his office and brimming with confidence in front of the camera. ”Congratulations to Amish. He is a fantastic striker with incredible technical ability. I believe this is the season where he will show his true worth. He is a much improved player than he was at the start of last season.”

The coach then went on to motivate other Zabardust strikers especially youngster Venkat Variar ”I am lucky to have wide variety of strikers at my disposal. the power of Aakaar Kazmi, the creativity of Nandini, the work-rate Bhupathi, They are all important part of my plans. Variar on the other hand is just 21 years old and he looks like he’s been with us for ages. Statistics shows his goal scoring ability whenever called upon. He is immensely talented but I think I want to see more improvement from him and I want him to do it now”

Attention towards Krosnianka Karpaty Krosno

Today afternoon’s 3-1 defeat to Estrella Negra Bengaluru all but ended the Zabardusts hopes of survival in the prestigious I-League. Coach Leonard Pavel wasted no time in turning attention towards tomorrow’s HTUM Challenge Trophy final against Polish side Krosnianka Karpaty Krosno.

”It has been a disappointing season for us.- commented coach Leonard Pavel – We lost important players through injury during crucial stages of the season and that hurt us a lot. We did really well to be fighting so far with all the injuries. We still have a slight chance if we can win next week against Dinamo Shiva who have proved their quality this season and won’t be an easy opponent at all”

The coach wants to end the season on a high note and thus has set his sights on a double friendly titles.Langer House are one of those teams who sees the Golden League and HTUM Challenge Trophy as very prestigious and that can be seen through our participation in both the competitions are very regular. We have participated in every HTUM Challenge Trophy so far and we had shown a lot of promise but usually were left disappointed with the Semi-final being the best we had done”

This season Langer House has gone a step closer to HTUM Challenge Trophy and will participate in the final against Krosnianka Karpaty Krosno but is aware that getting the trophy to Wittelsbacher Klasse would require a perfect performance. ”After waiting for so long we can finally participate in the final and we don’t want to let this chance slip through. KKK has shown their class this season and their name itself can strike fear into the opponent. We don’t fear but we know we need to be at our best if we are to win this match. I am confident my boys will be a tricky opponent for KKK”

Immediately after the HTUM Challenge trophy (Season 7) final Langer House will be back in Golden League action against  Romanian side FC X-Team at Ecaterina Teodoroiu on Wednesday 10.00 HT time.

Langer House 4 – 3 The Spaghetti Incident?

Langer House were back to winning ways in the league after last weeks defeat but it was a close escape for Langer House against The Spaghetti Incident? as they came out 4 – 3 winners to stay in touching distance of leaders mastraboiz. It was a decent performance though keeping in mind that the Zabardusts had to play the last half an hour with 10 men as Ukranian defender Arkadiy Vlasenko was given his marching orders in the middle of second half.

Attendance: 53,260 at Wittelsbacher Klasse

Langer House lineup: Vochin – Bajpai, Ibarra, Vlasenko – Świtoń, Satyanaraina, Ariyapadi, Jenayah – Piazzo, Nandini, Kazmi. 3-4-3 setup

”It was a close call – commented coach Frederik MichaelsenI think we did enough in the first half and then scored a goal eventhough we were down to 10-men. A team on 10 men are always vulnerable and so were we as we conceded late goals and made it difficult for ouselves. We were well prepared for this game and thus made quick changes which helped us maintain the lead we had. So in general it was a good performance and we got vital three points we needed to confirm our selves away from direct relegation zones and we did that which means we are now just a win away from staying in this league

Langer House will travel to Danmark this week to play a GL fixture against MS Odense at the venue MS Park. Langer House has climbed up in the Golden League table lately and are looking for another victory.

Next Sunday the Zabardusts play again at Wittelsbacher Klasse. This time we welcome ocean 12 of Mumbai. A win would edge us closer to safety.

Langer House’ GL return marred with controversy

Hyderabad has been in constant cover of cloud and rain for the last one month. The locals have seen sun only a few times over this time so it was a cool day at Hyderabad as Langer House returned to Golden League with a victory against Renaissance FC. The Renaissance FC fans liked the weather though as they could stay away from the cold in Poland. The match ended 3-0 but was controversial.

The match started really well for the Zabardust as they created many chances and eventually took the lead on 28th minute through Aakaar Kazmi. Just two minutes later Yaduvir Singh increased the lead to 2-0. In the second half, veteran Yaduvir Singh made it 3-0 on minute 3-0.

The 78th minute controversy was not welcomed by the fans as RFC’s Benedykt Zarembski was sent off for head butting Langer House’ Aakaar Kazmi. What Kazmi said is unknown but Zarembski clearly didn’t like it. The players realised what happened and were trying to convince the referee to avoid a red card. The fans particularly the opposition fans were adamant that Kazmi must have said something because he is nasty sometimes.

President AzeemClark didn’t like the veiw as it was just a friendly. ”I am a big Juventus fan and it reminded me of  Zidane not for that world cup final but for his head butt on Jochen Kientz. I think Zarembski saw that but I don’t know why it happened.  It was just a friendly. Yaduvir made a bad challenge earlier in the game but showed sportsmanship by encouraging his opponent to his feet. Thats the right attitude in a friendly”

Falcon’s victorious in under construction stadium

Langer House‘s poor record against Czech teams continues. Horus Falcons beat Langer House 1-3 at Wittelsbacher Klasse. This makes it four defeats out of four matches after heavy defeats earlier to FC Prague Slivers.

It was a funny start to the day as spectators were confused and even the loyal Zabardusts seemed surprised and confused where to go as the mighty Wittelsbacher Klasse was surrounded by cranes and concrete slabs. The work on the stadia started last week to upgrade the capatcity to 60,354. The season tickets sales will start this saturday.

This was the last match under coach Bence Jávor. ”Ofcourse victory is not important in these matches but this is Golden League and we should have won. Falcon’s got their chances and they took it completely opposite compared to us. We missed chances but the credit goes to their goal keeper. He was almost unbeatable today. I would like to thank my people here in Hyderabad. It was a great journey together. Their were hard times and good times mostly good times and I enjoyed it. I will always wish the best for Langer House because I am a Zabardust and I will always will be”.

Langer House will now take a break for Golden League fixtures to concentrate on the start of the season and the upcoming cup fixtures. The new coach will be announced this saturday.

Horus Falcons vs Langer House exciting as expected

The Golden League fixture between Horus Falcons and Langer House required a golden goal to decide the winner in front of partying crowd at the The Falcons Nest.

Horus Falcons took the lead in the middle of the first half through a controversial penalty which was protested by the Zabardust but coach Bence Jávor in good spirit waved his players to get on with it. Josef Motyčák slotted the penalty expertly giving Horus Falcons the lead on 24′ minute.

It was 70′ minutes into the game when Evaír Cisneros increased Falcons lead by attacking from his right hand side and giving Horus Falcons a 2-0 lead. Langer House however proved they never like loosing even if it is a friendly and on 83rd minute came back into the game through centre back Jérémy Pernet‘s cannon ball of a free kick which beat Kryštof Martinek completely. Pernet was not done yet as he was given the freedom to attack and just four minutes before time he leveled the score after a brilliant counter attack from the left wing. It was 2-2 and required extra time to see a golden goal.

Unfortunately only three minutes into extra time Horus Falcons were awarded a penalty. Josef Motyčák‘s clever spot kick send Matías Alvarez in the wrong direction and the ball into the net. Horus Falcons came out 3-2 winners. Impressive as they had to play the last 20 minutes with 10 men.

Unfortunately the friendly and party atmosphere was not enough to stop injuries as Tobiáš Šindelář‘s 20th minute reckless tackle injured Amish Gangawane who could be out for two weeks as a result. Later in the second half Falcons wingback Jaromír Pluhař was injured by Ilusha Chatterji‘s criminal tackle on 72nd minute which could see Pluhař out of action for a mammoth four weeks. Chatterji later apologized to Pluhař and offered to pay his medicine bills which the Falcons medical department rejected saying ”Take it easy. We will take care of it. Its football, injuries can happen.”

Langer House 0 – 5 FC Prague Slivers

Langer House had no answer to the genius hattrick by FC Prague Slivers‘s Luke Balogh as he helped the Czech’s beat the Zabardust 5-0. Langer House has now played two games and lost two games in the Golden League but that doesn’t seem to be the only problem for the Zabardust. The biggest problem is something else. Aanandaprakash Nandini twisted his knee horribly on his own which will haunt his team mates and the opposition players for a few days.

”I have to give credit to the coach of Prague Slivers. Tactically we were beaten – continued coach Bence Javour – and they deserved to win. We should have kept an eye on their wings from the very beginning and when we tried to stop in the middle of the game we left a big gap in the middle. So I think it was a just a bad game from us. Nandini’s injury also wrapped up a poor day for us”

The medical team immediately took to Nandini’s knee and informed that he would be out for 3 weeks. ”It was a very bad injury. There was nobody around him so he was unlucky to twist is so badly. He is a strong guy and he will come back strong I am sure but he will miss these 3 weeks which will hurt our program but our main concern is he should be back as soon as possible.” said President Azeem who saw the game on TV.

Next week will be another Golden League match as Langer House will play Leeds_City_1904 at Wittelsbacher Klasse.
