New WPI Signing Shines on Debut

In a week of change at WPI, the management made the signing of the season, capturing the service of Dejan Uro (AKA Andreas Iniesta).

The signing of the new star midfielder coincided with the contract termination of the former team captain, Al “El Bulli”.

Dejan quite easily filled the shoes of the former captain, and reports in the media suggest he is a far greater asset to the team than the former captain ever was. His intricate passing and control of the midfield was part of a master-class performance on debut, which he also capped off with a brilliant volley goal that left onlookers breathless.

On an unusual Sunday morning kick-off time of 12:30, WPI looked slicker than ever, totally dominating proceedings. WPI controlled the pace of the game, and the new look opposition put together by Henry had no answer to WPI’s attacking flair. In the end, WPI ran out easy winners 12-7.

On the sideline watching the game, was future opponent ‘Doy’, who’s Asian all-star team would have been absolutely frightened by the new found composure, fitness, and ball control of WPI. Doy painted a worry figure, as he knows if WPI can keep their new signing happy, his team will have no chance against WPI in the future.

Doy’s team-mate, ‘Crazy Shot’ (as labelled by WPI’s former captain), couldn’t bear to watch, as his two left feet performance previously against WPI had left him embarrassed.

A special mention has to go out to the greatly improved performance, of Stevie D. Stevie showed great determination, and a footballing brain well beyond his years. His fitness throughout the game on Saturday had many people wondering, had this man really just stepped off the plane?

So with the future looking brighter than ever for WPI, and the role of captaincy spread amongst the players, the looks to be a harmony and new found energy for the game. The question that arises from all this; can anyone stop the new look WPI?
