Pemain Paling Bernilai adidas Tango League Sedia Wakili Pasukan Kebangsaan

KUALA LUMPUR (14 Ogos 2017): Hazizi Mansor yang berjaya merangkul anugerah Pemain Paling Bernilai/ Most Valuable Player (MVP) dalam kejohanan adidas Tango League Sabtu lalu mengakui sudah bersedia untuk mewakili pasukan kebangsaan andai diberikan peluang satu hari nanti.

Dalam kejohanan bola sepak jalanan yang berlangsung di KLCC itu, pemain yang beraksi untuk TOT United berjaya membantu pasukannya mempertahankan kejuaraan adidas Tango League selepas menang 2-0 mengatasi pasukan Sinchan FC di perlawanan akhir.

Hazizi berkata, “Saya memang mahu mewakili pasukan futsal Malaysia. Lagipun saya juga terpilih ke Brazil untuk bermain dalam Neymar Junior 5 sebelum ini. Jadi saya ingin mengutip sebanyak pengalaman yang mungkin semasa bermain di luar negara. Melalui pengalaman bermain dalam Liga Futsal Kebangsaan (LFK) dan umur saya yang sudah menjangkau 24 tahun, saya sudah bersedia bermain untuk Malaysia.

“Saya sekarang pun tengah terlibat dengan persediaan untuk LFK seterusnya bersama pasukan KL City, jadi satu bonus dapat bermain dalam adidas Tango League kerana memberi pendedahan futsal yang baik. Lagipun rakan-rakan saya dalam TOT United juga adalah pemain LFK, jadi bagi saya ianya satu pengalaman yang berguna kepada semua pemain,” katanya selepas tamat perlawanan.

Hazizi yang dinobatkan sebagai MVP kejohanan adidas Tango League bakal menerima tajaan produk sukan daripada jenama terkemuka itu untuk tempoh setahun.

Dalam pada itu, Pengurus Komunikasi dan Pemasaran Sukan adidas Malaysia, Tan Zhi Vern berkata pihaknya akan terus komited dalam membantu bola sepak di tanah air khususnya kepada pemain-pemain muda yang memiliki kualiti dalam sukan ini.

Zhi Vern berkata, “adidas akan terus memberikan sokongan terhadap bola sepak di negara ini khususnya kepada pemain-pemain muda yang sedang meningkat naik. Malahan dalam Sukan SEA KL2017 nanti, terdapat lapan orang pemain tajaan adidas yang berada dalam skuad bola sepak kebangsaan.

“Memang harapan kita untuk memastikan masa depan mereka dalam bola sepak lebih baik melalui tajaan kita. Malahan, pasukan Program Pembangunan Bola Sepak Negara (PPBN) juga turut ditaja oleh adidas,” tambah Zhi Vern.

Dia turut gembira dengan aksi yang dipamerkan oleh pasukan dalam kejohanan adidas Tango League dan mahu terus meningkatkan lagi kualiti liga anjuran adidas.

  

“Saya berasa gembira kerana pasukan yang bertanding untuk edisi kali ini sangat berkualiti seperti TOT United yang mengekalkan kejuaraan kali kedua berturut-turut. Selain itu, kita juga dapat mencungkil seorang lagi pemain MVP yang baru dengan aksi yang menarik dipamerkan oleh pemain tersebut.

“Kita mungkin akan tukar padang permainan kepada turf dalam edisi seterusnya. Jadi akan memberi keselesaan yang lebih baik untuk pemain beraksi sama ada menggunakan kasut boot atau turf,” katanya ketika ditemuramah kelmarin.

TOT United yang berjaya menjadi juara adidas Tango League membawa pulang wang tunai RM5,000 sementara naib juara iaitu Sinchan FC pula menerima RM3,000.

adidas Football Launches New Ocean Storm Colourway For NEMEZIZ

 Ocean Storm NEMEZIZ 17+ 360 AGILITY a striking two-tone navy blue & turquoise colourway

 NEMEZIZ design feature inspired by the process of taping for increased stability and agility

 Ocean Storm NEMEZIZ 17+ 360 AGILITY to be worn by Leo Messi, Roberto Firmino & Julian Draxler 

KUALA LUMPUR (28 July, 2017) – adidas Football has today dropped its latest colourway for NEMEZIZ 17+ 360 AGILITY – the brand’s latest boot innovation. Designed to enhance the performance of the game’s most agile players, NEMEZIZ is inspired by the idea of ‘taping’; a process used commonly in sport to deliver security, support and adaptability.

These unique features are apparent through the boot’s AGILITYBANDAGE, featuring revolutionary TORSIONTAPES technology to keep the foot locked down and deliver ultimate fit. A dual-lock collar secures the ankle in place to enable explosive change of direction.  

The TORSIONFRAME outsole features an ultra-lightweight construction and TORSIONRIBS to provide dynamic push off support; a key feature for agile movement. The new AGILITYKNIT 2.0 interlocking yarn structure provides a soft direct touch and a lightweight, adaptable feel.

The striking new two-tone colourway features dark blue and turquoise trim alongside the classic adidas three stripes in yellow.

To ensure players can experience the same level of agility in any setting, Ocean Storm NEMEZIZ is also available in both Cage and Street adaptations. With the same colourway as the on-pitch boot, both the cage and street shoes feature the same TORSIONTAPES and AGILITYKNIT 2.0, giving the most agile players the same tools to support their agility in the cage and on the street.

The Ocean Storm NEMEZIZ collection is available from today on adidas.com and adidas retail stores.

FC Bayern Revive Old Fan Favourite with New adidas Football 2017/18 Away Kit

New shirt based on a much-loved kit that inspired a classic celebration

Released to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the club switching their main jersey from red to navy

Retro style combines with modern technology thanks to new breathable mesh

adidas Football and German champions, FC Bayern, have today revealed the club’s new away kit for the 2017/18 season. The new navy kit with red stripes has been released to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the club switching its home jersey from red to navy.

 The design will be recognisable to fans of the German champions, as it is based on one of the club’s most loved kits. Notable among them was a famous celebration by former player Giovane Élber in a 1999 game vs Wolfsburg where he wrapped himself in a carpet at the side of the pitch. The adidas design team sought to channel the creative spirit behind this moment in a shirt that will be worn as FC Bayern look to win a sixth straight German title next season.

The new away jersey combines this striking design with the latest adidas Football technology. An example of this design-meets-performance approach comes with the red stripe across the shirt. It is made of a highly breathable mesh material, allowing for better air circulation keeping players cool and on top of their game in any conditions.

The kit will be available to purchase in the FC Bayern online store, in adidas global retail stores, the adidas online shop (www.adidas.com/football​) as well as in all FC Bayern-Fan-Shops from July 7.

Shahril hit London for Global Tango League

adidas Tango League’s Most Valuable Player, Mohd Shahril Anuar had an experience of a lifetime when he joined the other winners from around the world at the first Global Tango League Event held in London, recently.

Shahril, fondly known as “Bulat” returned from London on June 5 after an eventful 5 days, was part of the TOT United A team that emerged victorious in the adidas Tango League which took place in KL on March 19.

After topping the Tango League Kuala Lumpur Leaderboard with a total of 43 match points and walking away with an adidas boot deal, Shahril also represented Malaysia at the Global Tango League Event with the aim of developing the next generation of football influencers.

The Global Tango League not only offers the Tango League city winners an opportunity to develop and cultivate their social influence, it also serves as a platform to help them build a career in football.

In London, the players were divided into four teams and guided through a number of special activations that brought out the maximum stadium to street experience. Every team had to complete several challenges with the help of an influence mentor, who acted as the team captain, in order to prove their abilities.  

The mentors included World Freestyle Champion Sean Garnier, skill twins, Josef and Jakob El Zein, Los Desimpedidos’s Bolivia and Fred as well as Moscow’s most prominent street football crew, Street Madness.

Shahril expressed his excitement of having met these renowned football influencers who were inspirational mentors that imparted worthwhile input to their teams.

“Although it’s been a week since I’ve returned from London, I still feel excited whenever I recall meeting them. They were good mentors who really cared about the teams and shared loads of valuable advice with us.”

Some of the activities prepared involved street and cage challenges with the influencers, a YouTube Creators Studio challenge and the O2 Experience. All of them were aimed to help the players grow and improve their skills in various aspects of football.

The main highlight of the trip was when each Tango League winner took a trip down to Cardiff to catch the UEFA Champions League Final 2016/17 between Juventus and Real Madrid at the Principality Stadium. Other notable events included were the Nemeziz Event and Stamford Bridge Pitch Event in which the Tango winners enjoyed lunch while overlooking the pitch just before making their way into the stadium dressing rooms to prepare for a knockout competition played on the prestigious Chelsea FC home ground.

24 year-old Shahril commented on how this was certainly one of the best ordeals that happened to him as he learned and gained a lot of new experiences.

“I am thankful to adidas for this opportunity in competing in the Global Tango League. It’s by far the best and most memorable trip in my life because I came back feeling contented. I’ve learned so much from everyone and the invaluable experiences I’ve acquired will no doubt push me forward in the future.

The next Tango League competition expected to take place in the second half of the year, will be a great window of opportunity for footballers by providing them a platform to showcase their outstanding skills through recreating a stadium match-day ambience and professional playing circumstances.

adidas Football’s New Film Launches Red Limit Collection Including ACE 17+ PURECONTROL and Brand New Street Adaptations

adidas Football has today announced the launch of its Red Limit collection with a brand new film starring Paul Pogba. The collection introduces the brand new ACE 17+ PURECONTROL which brings the brand’s BOOST technology to football for the first time. In another first, the Red Limit collection also features a street adaption of each silo, allowing players to take their game from the stadium, to the cage, to the street.

The launch film urges aspiring young footballers to focus on creating their own path, rather than emulating their heroes. A voiceover from a young player declares that he is not interested in mimicking the style of the professionals; he just wants their boots so he has the tools to create for himself. The film stars Manchester United midfielder, Paul Pogba, who will wear the Red Limit ACE 17+ PURECONTROL. The film is available at: https://youtu.be/kKRmbS_b250.

The Red Limit ACE 17+ PURECONTROL features a360 degree fully PRIMEKNIT upper to ensure zero wear-in time and is protected by an ultrathin NSG (Non Stop Grip) film to provide ultimate levels of grip. The laceless PURECUT sock system is designed to eliminate overlays between the foot and the ball for ultimate control whilst the unique sock construction, which is formed of an internal lock-down system, offers premium comfort.

The ACE 17+ PURECONTROL’s newest feature sees the introduction of adidas Running’s BOOST technology. The BOOST cushioning is made up of thousands of unique foam balls and features along the boot’s SPRINTFRAME and sock liner. The end result returns more energy than conventional midsoles and delivers unrivalled levels of comfort.

The Red Limit collection continues with the launch of the Red Limit ACE 17+ PURECONTROL Cage version. Featuring the same black and red colourway as the on-pitch silo, the cage version features a PRIMEKNIT upper with a layer of NSG film to provide ultimate control. A stretchable layer of TECHFIT material is placed between the black and red colour blocks to optimise comfort, whilst a red EVA strip features above the heel’s BOOST to offer stability. Unlike the on-pitch boot, the cage version features BOOST on the heel only, designed to offer comfort, stability and energy return on a hard surface, where it matters most in cage football.

The ACE 17+ PURECONTROL Street version completes the Red Limit collection. Inspired by the street, the shoe features a sleek all-black colourway with red details and is predominantly constructed with a PRIMEMESH material for a lifestyle-focused look. A TECHFIT colour coating covers the three stripes whilst a full-length BOOST midsole enhances the lifestyle look whilst offering energy return.

Dean Lokes, Vice President of product adidas Football, said: “The Red Limit collection is the first time we’ve gone from the stadium to the street in the same collection. We’ve introduced a range of boots in on-pitch, cage and street silos so you can perform as well off the pitch as you can on it. The introduction of adidas’ leading BOOST technology highlights our constant desire to innovate within the sport and our endless drive to produce game-changing footwear for all types off footballers; wherever they play the game”.
