July Fourth Player Of The Season
This is a very tough decision, there were plenty of candidates, Rafid Fahad followed up his last season with plenty of goals from midfield, Alvaro Quero scored some goals in difficult goals, Santiago Trinios was a ever present goalscorer and provider and scored the 2 goals that won the league in the penultimate game of the season. Mourad Essadri was plenty of good saves and kept 24 clean sheets, but it was a tough decision, but the player of the season goes to left defender, Jong-Hui Kim This left back was an ever present for July Fourth playing in every game this season and he also scored a couple of crucial goals in the league campaign as well as some stellar defending at the back for July Fourth, In a season where it was difficult and plenty of good competition in the cup and champions league as well as being pushed all the way for the league title, this would of not been possible if it was not for the presence of Jong-Hui Kim in the defence.
