杜里奇独揽新联赛四奖
杜里奇独揽新联赛四奖
● 洪伟喜
本赛季职总英康－杨协成新加坡职业足球联赛年纪最大的球员，军团首席前锋杜里奇昨晚在新联赛常年颁奖礼上大放异彩，一人独揽四个奖项，将最佳球员、最佳射脚、200球奖和公众投选奖四个奖项抱回家，成为历来第一个获得四个奖项的球员，成为这次颁奖礼的大赢家。
颁奖礼是在新达城举行，座上嘉宾是国会议长阿都拉。刚刚在三天前成功捍卫锦标的军团共扫走14个奖项的其中六项。除了杜里奇的四个奖项外，该队还夺得最佳教练和最佳进球奖。
“高龄”37岁的杜里奇在1999年加入新联赛，这么多年来他的实力和进球能力有目共睹。这名射脚不只一次入围最佳球员奖，但却一直无法得奖，也多次与最佳射脚奖擦身而过。不过，杜里奇却在早已过了巅峰期的年龄，凭着出色的表现在本赛季的联赛中出尽风头，不枉他那么多年的心血。
杜里奇本赛季在联赛攻入了37球，在新加坡杯赛至今也攻入了5球，不只高踞射脚榜榜首，更扯平了另一名老将格拉多瓦在2001年创下的赛季最多进球纪录。而杜里奇的42个进球也让他在本地球赛的总进球数增加至222球，使他成为了“200进球俱乐部”的成员。他是继内政部联队前球员埃马和格拉多瓦之后，第三个荣获200球奖项的球员。杜里奇优秀的表现让他成为众多球迷心目中的最爱，在由球迷投选出来的公众投选奖项中脱颖而出。
对于自己拿下了四个奖项，杜里奇感到十分意外，他说：“我真的没有想到自己会得那么多奖，尤其是最佳球员奖，这实在太令人难以置信了！我心目中的最佳球员人选其实是内政部联队的施佳懿，所以当颁奖人念出我的名字时，我惊讶得心脏差点就停止。这是我第三次入围，应该说是幸运的第三次吧。虽然我每年都为错过最佳射脚奖感到痛心，但最佳球员才是我最珍惜的奖项。”
接管军团兵符大权才一年半就摘下两个联赛锦标的军团教练莫国铨则“连桩”，连续第二年夺得最佳教练殊荣，是继军团前教练、现任内政部联队教练文森（1996、97年）和淡滨尼流浪教练沃拉万（2004、05年）之后，第三个两度成为最佳教练的人。
年仅38岁的莫国铨说：“这种感觉实在是太棒了！我要好好感谢球会、球员、球迷和家人，因为没有大家的支持，我绝对不可能做到。今年得奖的感觉比去年甜蜜得多，因为今年我从赛季一开始就负责球队，不像上赛季那样在中途才掌管兵符。”
最佳青年球员奖则归今年在联赛中表现抢眼的淡滨尼流浪中卫沙里夫所有。这名前国脚沙末之子在受访时说：“我完全没有预料自己会得奖，因为比我好的球员多的是，我还以为凯鲁阿姆里（幼狮）会得奖。其实，我应该要感谢队友穆拉托维奇，因为要不是他在赛季前没有通过体能测验，我根本没有机会首发。”

本地足坛豪门军团昨晚在蔡厝港体育场凭着上半场的梅开二度，以2比1力挫甘柏联队，蝉联新加坡职业足球联赛的冠军。这是12年来，该队第六次夺得桂冠。
另两支有望夺标的队伍也在昨晚报捷，内政部联队在客场以2比1击败芽笼，淡滨尼流浪队则以3比1拿下日本新潟。但军团打胜仗意味着三队在积分榜上的排名不变，军团以79分成功卫冕，内政以一分之差名列第二，淡滨尼则以77分排名第三。
这是自2001年以来，锦标争夺战最紧张刺激的一次。今年的三匹红马，即军团、内政和淡滨尼从赛季一开始就展开激烈的争夺战。三队表现都有起有落，轮流当过领头羊。在最后第二轮比赛结束后，三队积分的差距只有区区的两分。
昨天军团是三队之中最没有把握打胜仗的一队，因为该队之前两次在联赛与甘柏交手时，一次与对手踢和，另一次却战败。反观内政和淡滨尼的对手比较容易对付，很多人都以为军团可能无法二连冠。但该队在上半场就两度攻陷对手城门，一早就奠定了胜利的基础。
第12分钟，军团小将赛夫在禁区内把球传给队长诺阿里，后者转身避开了对方球员的纠缠之后，以一记低射破关。短短9分钟后，赛夫将角球高吊入禁区，无人防守的军团后卫新进建二跃起把球入网。
下半场再战，甘柏在第63分钟扳回一球，使赛情变得紧张起来。赛夫在自己禁区内将对方球员鲁海扎德绊倒，送给甘柏一个罚球。军团门将雷扎尔虽然猜中甘柏前锋卡斯米尔罚球的方向，但只能稍微触碰到球，无法制止球入网。
完场前7分钟，军团前锋村上范和被推倒在地。这时经过他身旁的甘柏后卫普雷西奥斯不慎踢到前者的脸，结果裁判不但将普雷西奥斯驱逐出场，还判给军团罚球，引来甘柏球员大大的不满。在抗议长达3分钟后，甘柏球员才让对手踢罚球。不过军团中场球员威尔金森把球踢成冲天炮，无法再扩大球队的领先优势。
军团教练莫国铨领军两年就摘下两个冠军杯，他在受访时说：“这种感觉实在是太棒了！我无法用言语来形容。这次夺标的感觉比去年更甜蜜，这不只是因为去年我们提早几轮比赛就夺冠，更重要是夺标难，捍卫锦标更难。我们今年表现起起落落，尤其是在赛季开始时，能够顺利摘冠，一切要归功于大家的努力。”
前锋杜里奇则说：“我真的是太高兴了！我自1999年就参加这项联赛，但没有一年比今年好！我简直就好像是在做梦，不只第一次夺得最佳射脚，队伍还成功卫冕。我好希望时间就一直停留在2007年。”
军团获得了15万奖金，内政获得7万5000元奖金，淡滨尼则获得了4万元的奖金。

The Greatest Ever Title Race - S.League 2007!
Wow, what a finish! Probably the greatest ever... Why?
1. The title was only decided after the final round of games:
2007-11-21 Geylang - Home 1 - 2 (1-1 for long period)
2007-11-21 Singapore AF - Gombak 2 - 1
2007-11-21 Tampines - Albirex 3 - 1 (1-1 at one point)
2. While final round drama has also happened in 1996, 1998 & 2001, 2007 season really stood out, as the big-3 kept switching leadership all-season.
3. The 1996 & 1998 races involved only 2 teams, while the 2001 season was effectively a 2-horse race between Geylang & Home until SAFFC sneaked in with a late run of 12 wins out of its last 13 games (which meant that it actually fell rather far behind the top-2 earlier in the season as well).
4. The final placings of the teams wasn't even decided until the final whistle, with Home scored again in the 90th minute to maintain Runners-up spot ahead of Tampines.
5. The 2001 final scores was a lot more clear-cut:
2001-10-26 Gombak - Home 1 - 0
2001-10-26 Geylang - Jurong 3 - 0
2001-10-26 Singapore AF - Woodlands 5 - 0
Several Notes of Significance:
1. Gombak wasn't able to wrest away the SLVC from SAFFC like what it did against Home in 2006, but Bravo to it for a nail-biting finish!
2. Despite not winning the league, Home United did clinched its 600th league point all-time, with a proud record of 179W-2PK-59D-84L-F683-A451, second only to SAFFC! It also secured the 2007 SLVC mini-league title the week before, so not really empty-handed, :-)
3. Tampines finished at 3rd in the all-time table thru 2007, 9 points ahead of Geylang. Bear in mind that the gap between them was actually 120 points at the end of 2003, but Tampines kept narrowed it down season-by-season (2004: 94 pts, 2005: 63 pts, 2006: 29 pts), what a pursuit!
4. 5999 S.League goals has now been scored all-time since 1996, could the 6000th arrive during Balestier-Sengkang game on 22-Nov?
5. Though SAFFC couldn't manage 100 league goals in 2007, its total of 95 is still the 4th best all-time, behind itself in 2001 (101) / 2002 (104) & Home in 2003 (104).
6. The gap between 3rd-placed Tampines & 4th-placed Gombak was a staggering 29 points, a record distance between any 2 adjacent-placed teams in S.League history! (The previous record was 20 points between champs SAFFC & runners-up Home in 2002.)
7. This is the 3rd time a team has successfully defended its title, after SAFFC itself in 1997/98 & Tampines in 2004/05. Can they become the first team to achieve 3-in-a-row next season? Only time will tell...
