I spent a couple of hours at the
Phnom Penh Crown training headquarters in Tuol Kork yesterday afternoon to speak to the new head coach, Bojan Hodak and some of the new arrivals to the club. All the players were in high spirits and finding it tough going, which always happens with pre-season training and after a lay-off. Some of the players like Kouch Sokumpheak haven't really stopped since the end of the season as they were involved in international duty, but he admitted to feeling the pace set by the new coach and his staff. Hodak felt the players weren't as fit as he'd like so that's one area he'll be working on initially. A few of the players who turned out for Crown last term and who haven't featured on the training pitch yet include talented youngster Keo Sokngorn, who has yet to decide on where his future lies, whilst Srey Veasna, Oscar Mpoko and Prince Justine have all sought pastures new in Thailand. Arriving in their place are the likes of Sokumpheak, Khim Borey and San Narith with goalkeeper Hong Visokra also joining the squad from Khemara alongwith two new Nigerian nationals from Singapore club Gombak United, Kingsley Njoku and Odion Obadin. You can expect more new faces to arrive as pre-season unfolds.
