Exclusive Interview: Ong Min Jie from Le Samba

From reading books and swimming, our guest star goal keeper Ong Min Jie from Le Samba discovered that futsal means so much to him ever since he joined the RFL. Despite being so down-to-earth and friendly, this goal keeper has one of the best skills in protecting the team's goal throughout the games. His quiet personality does not stop his fans to dub him as THE WALL. This week, RFL One-on-One brings to you Le Samba's Ong Min Jie. Check it out!



1on1: Hello
1on1: Good morning Min Jie!
Min Jie Ong: Morning!
1on1: We're from the oneonone M2FC, we would like to ask you a few questions about yourself if you don't mind.
Min Jie Ong: Yeah, sure.

1on1: At what age you started playing football? or futsal?
Min Jie Ong: i remember i only started playing futsal occasionally during A level.

1on1: So you started playing as a team in RSMU?
Min Jie Ong: in RSMU, i oso played futsal sometimes during PT. i only started to play futsal regularly after i join gastroboi last season. I never know I will like futsal if qye(captain of gastro) never ask me to join them.

1on1: What is your best moment in M2FC?
Min Jie Ong: my best moment was last season when gastroboi played against saints. tat night all my groupmates they turn up at sportzal to support me. u know, they are not people who follow football or understand football. but tat night gastroboi got their very first 3 points and i got my first cleen sheet. it was great.

1on1: Do you have any worse moment during the M2FC league in the past?
Min Jie Ong: hmmm...at the end of last season, i was voted into the training for Nizhny games. however, i was not selected to the final squad. i really wish to go. i trained very hard but there are better players. i'm dissapointed to myself i'm not good enough to make it.
1on1: (awwh..but ure an awesome goalkeeper i heard..aim for volgo next yr!!)
Min Jie Ong: yea lo
Min Jie Ong: 5th yr already
Min Jie Ong: i will do my best and try again this year.
1on1: (cool)
Min Jie Ong: but thanks ar for support!

1on1: Can you tell me a little bit about your team's name ?
Min Jie Ong: the captain is vicky, strikers are abilash, harin...midfield is kay rezz, defenders are isaac, magesh and lingesh...goalkeeper is shugann
Min Jie Ong: i'm playing for le samba now, but i'm not permanent player for any team.
1on1: Why not be a permanent player?
Min Jie Ong: Last season i've had some wonderful experience in rfl with gastroboi. but i was not confident if i can maintain my performance. so i thought its better to quit now and keep the good memories. i never plan to play this season. then le samba's keeper shugann injured his hand, and they ask me if i can play for them until shugann is back.
Min Jie Ong: After few games played now, i think i can still contribute for the team.
Min Jie Ong: so after Shugann is back, i will play for any teams if they think i can help.
1on1: (i see..)

1on1: In your experience as a goalkeeper in the past, could you name in your opinion have the best skills in scoring goals.?(pls dont say beckham..i'll kill you..LOL)
Min Jie Ong: beckham
1on1: LOL.
Min Jie Ong: in RFL, i think Iqbal and Thiva have the best skills in scoring goals. i like them bcoz both of they are liverpool supporters hahaha. both of them are fast and clinical in front of goal.
Min Jie Ong: Thiva is strong and Iqbal's final touch on the ball is very classy
Min Jie Ong: they never waste chance, always manage to get the killer touch.

1on1: Do you have any specific hope for Le Samba? Or any future plans in sport?
Min Jie Ong: although i'm just playing temporarily for samba, i will give my 110% in every match and hopefully can finish in a higher position this season. of my own plan in sport, yan just invited me this morning to a try out for handball team. i will do my best. but my main wish is still to squeeze in the futsal team, which i fail to do so last yr. lets see how.

1on1: Your prediction for this RFL season? Who do you need to watch out for?
Min Jie Ong: personally i think Boogis and Dru n Cos are the favourites to finish top in rfl.
Min Jie Ong: in other position of the table
Min Jie Ong: the gap between teams are closer this season
Min Jie Ong: tats why its more interesting

1on1: Thanks for your time Min Jie. OneOnOne wish you best of luck in your future undertaking. We hope that RSMU would bring out the best in all of us.
Min Jie Ong: you're welcome.
