DPMM FC'S search for their fourth import player continues with the Netherlands' Mourad Besselink and Montenegro's Bogdan Bogdanovic slinging it out for the final remaining slot.
Both strikers, Besselink, who has six caps and three goals playing for the Dutch junior team, faces stiff competition from Bogdanovic, who used to captain his country's Under-20 side.
Brunei's only professional club are predicting a return to the Singapore League (S-League), where teams are allowed to have four imports.
The club announced the signing of three imports on Oct 13 defender Tales Ricarte dos Santos (Brazil), midfielder George O'Callaghan (Ireland) and striker Osman Basiru (Ghana), meaning it will be either Besselink or Bogdanovic joining them.
Unlike dos Santos, O'Callaghan and Basiru whose main job should be impressing coach Vjeran Simunic Besselink and Bogdanovic, who have only been in Brunei since Wednesday, are more worried about acclimatising to the weather.
A youth player for Vitesse Arnhem II, Besselink broke through to the first team last year but came to the Sultanate for a trial after failing to pen a deal.
"We couldn't agree on a contract ... I was a little bit tired of the Netherlands so my agent (Abdul Halim Abdul Shukor) offered me an adventure in Brunei," said the 21-year-old 'Oranje' hitman yesterday.
"I played for 20 minutes on Thursday and it was alright. It's just my sharpness was not there because I was still tired from the trip. I'm sure tomorrow I can play with the ball better, dribble well and score some goals that's what I'm here for after all.
"So far everything's great and I like being here. I'm of Moroccan descent and everything here is based around Islam, so it's easy for me to be here," he added.
Bogdanovic was facing the same problem as Besselink, but was just as confident he would shine at the trial, which usually runs from 10 to 14 days.
The 22-year-old forward has played for Montenegro at the Under-16, Under-17 and Under-19 levels and led his team out of the tunnel at the 2009 Mediterranean Games in Pescara, Italy.
"I'm happy to be here but I'm not used to the weather ... I'm also tired from the trip," said Bogdanovic, who added that he had more than 20 international goals to his name.
"I came from Montenegro and there the season is just changing and getting colder, but here it's like summer all over again.
"But in the coming days I will show my best. The coach (Simunic) is from Croatia so it's easy to communicate with him because we both speak the same language, Serbian.
"The players are very interesting and they have treated me very well," he added.
Also in town with Besselink is his agent, Abdul Halim.
The director of Offside Sports Management & Consultant is a familiar face at the Jerudong Mini Stadium and was found chatting to DPMM FC club manager Pg Waslimin PSJ Pg Hj Abd Momin during yesterday's training.
The Fifa registered players agent was responsible for introducing strikers Oh Ddog-yi (South Korea), Atilio Cacares (Paraguay) and midfielder Alejandro Andres Tobar (Chile) to the club, but Besselink is the first player Abdul Halim has brought to DPMM FC this year.
"First of all they have to have character," said Abdul Halim when asked what he looks for in a player.
"Secondly, technical ability. Most of my players are below the age of 28. I have partners in Europe and together we source for players for trials," added Abdul Halim, who was the first Singaporean football agent recognised by Fifa.
The 2009 Singapore League Cup champions, DPMM FC are awaiting news from the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) on whether their application to rejoin the S-League will be successful, the answer which they will only be expecting once the season ends on Nov 28.

DPMM FC edge ABDB in friendly match
DPMM FC defeated the Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council (MS ABDB) 1-0 in a friendly match at the Mini Stadium in Jerudong yesterday.
Although registering a win, DPMM FC head coach Vjeran Simunic is still not satisfied with his team's performance due to missing several of his players.
"We trained six times a week and the team is building up. However, some of the DPMM FC players are not available in the squad," said the veteran Croatian after the match yesterday.
Simunic is without several big names in training due to the players' commitment in next month's SEA Games and is awaiting the release of few players who currently played for MS ABDB.
Yesterday's friendly also saw two new imports on trial playing for DPMM FC.
Bogdan Bogdanovic from Montenegro and Mourad Besselink from Netherlands are both seen playing as a striker.
And once again, Simunic stressed that DPMM FC need to be tested by foreign teams in return to see the real strength of his team.
"When we play friendlies against the local sides, we produced good results recently. But I want to see DPMM FC playing against stronger teams such as from Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia or maybe Thailand," he said.
Simunic added that he is still finding the right solution to prepare DPMM FC before returning to the Singapore League.
"Yes, our focus is to play again in the S League. But we need to work hard on the team especially the players fitness and finding the right players to represent the team," he said.
On the three new imports who have already signed for the team - Tales Ricardo dos Santos, George O'Callaghan and Osman Basiru - Simunic said that the trio have all shown an astounding performance.
"They have impressed me and I can see the improvements. But like I said earlier, they need competitive matches to test themselves and to fit in with the local players for greater understanding," Simunic said.
Meanwhile, DPMM FC are expecting two more import trialists to fill the one more vacant spot (fourth import) in the team.
The two players, Woukoue Mefire from Cameroon will be arriving tomorrow (Oct 29) and Bulgarian Ivan Karamanov is expected to arrive on Oct 30.
Two weeks ago, DPMM FC was given the greenlight by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to rejoin the S-League.
AFC in a letter sent to the Brunei's national football governing body, National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (NFABD) stated that the confederation has no issues for the club to make a return to play in Singapore.
Meanwhile, DPMM FC is still waiting a reply from the Singapore League organising committee to be accepted to play in the S-League next year.

8am match puts Brunei in history books

Thursday, October 27, 2011
THE national Under-23 football team will make the history books next month just by kicking off at the 26th SEA Games in Indonesia.
According to Tuoitrenews, the Group B match between Vietnam and Brunei on Nov 11 in Jakarta has been rescheduled from 7pm to 8am by the host to free the evening slot for the opening ceremony.
Players of both teams will have to get up at 4-5am for breakfast and warming up to prepare for the game at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in the Indonesian capital. Jakarta is co-hosting the Games with Palembang.
Should the change be confirmed, this marks the first time in history of world football and the SEA Games for organising an international football match at such a time.
The Games organising committee (Inasoc) had announced the change to television stations in the 11 participating nations, but not to sports authorities in the countries.
TV station Astro of Malaysia has posted fierce protest against the change as it sends its plan of live broadcast to a mess.
Head coach of Vietnam Falko Goetz has yet to receive formal notification from the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF).
"I will wait for notice from the VFF before making any comment relating to the change," said the German.
Joining the two in Group B are Myanmar, Laos, the Philippines and Timor Leste.
The Sultanate will start their campaign on Nov 5 in what may look to be their easiest game on paper at least against Timor Leste.
They then take on Laos two days later before playing Myanmar on Nov 9. After their meeting with 2009 runners-up Vietnam, which is their toughest match in the group, Brunei's last group game will be against the Philippines on Nov 15.
On the other hand, Group A aka the Group of Death is made up of defending champions Malaysia, hosts Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and Cambodia.
The football competition will kick off on Nov 3 with Vietnam taking on the Philippines.
Besides Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Lebak Bulus Stadium, south of Jakarta, will also play host to the 11-team competition, to be held in an Under-23 format.
Meanwhile, Indonesia thrashed Timor Leste 5-0 in a friendly match in Jakarta on Tuesday.
Despite scoring five, Rahmad Darmawan, Indonesia's Under-23 head coach, felt that there was still plenty of room for improvement prior to their first match against Cambodia on Nov 9.
"Honestly, I'm not so satisfied with our performance today (Tuesday). Our opponents did not play quickly, which made it easier for us to intercept the ball and cover ourselves," Rahmad told the Jakarta Post on Tuesday. "We won, but the quality of the performance was not good. We will take this game as a lesson in our preparation for the SEA Games," he added.The Brunei Times

VFF: Brunei is not a strong team
Jason Thomas
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
IT'S ABOUT a week to go until the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games football competition kicks off and the mind games have started.
"Brunei is not a strong team," declared Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) chairman Nguyen Trong Hy ahead of the team's Nov 11 clash at the Lebak Bulus Stadium south of Jakarta.
"The Filipino team is not well known ... East Timor is perhaps the weakest team.
"I think Vietnam and the Philippines or Myanmar will advance to the semifinals," Hy was quoted as saying on Thanh Nien a Vietnamese daily newspaper with a total readership of over 2 million per week on Friday, a day after the draw was held in Jakarta.
Runners-up in 2009, Vietnam take on the Philippines in next Thursday's curtain raiser.
The Sultanate starts its campaign next Saturday in what may look to be their easiest game on paper at least against Timor Leste, with the tie against Vietnam promising to be their toughest test of the Under-23 tournament.
Brunei face Laos on Nov 7, Myanmar on Nov 9 and the Philippines on Nov 15 with the semi-finals set for Nov 19.
This year's SEA Games marks the country's return to the football field in the biennial regional tournament after a break of 10 years they last saw action during the 2001 edition in Kuala Lumpur.
Despite reined back expectations, Brunei can thank its lucky stars it isn't in the aptly named 'group of death', where defending champs Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Cambodia square off in Group A.
Except for the opener against Timor Leste, which will be hosted at the 88,083 capacity Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta, Brunei play the rest of their games at the Lebak Bulus Stadium.
Vietnam are favourites to advance past the group stage but despite the disparaging comments, Hy didn't feel a slot in the semi-finals of the 26th Games is a surety.
"We dare not say that we can heave a sigh of relief ... but I feel it is a bit easier than I expected because Vietnam is in Group B while strong teams like defending champions Malaysia and arch-rivals Thailand are in Group A," he said.
"Also, we don't have to clash with hosts Indonesia in the group stage. Our group consists of six teams ... but the competition is not too strong for us. We know more or less about their strengths and weaknesses.
"We have clashed with them several times and we have come out the winners most of the time," boasted the chairman.
His confidence is understandable considering the team are coming into the competition after a moral-boosting 5-0 win over Myanmar in the opener of the Vietnamese Football Federation Cup in Hanoi on Wednesday.
The Philippines, whose public has taken an increased interest in the sport after the national team qualified for the semi-finals of the AFF Suzuki Cup last year, aren't taking anything for granted especially after sitting the 2009 SEA Games out.
"It seems that we are in favourable group but that is not a reason for us to be complacent. It's not a walk in the park, that's why we need to train harder," said manager Dan Palami.
"We have young and good players. It's a more decent lineup and stronger. So our target this time is a little modest which is just to make the semi-finals and finish at the podium."
Laos, who have former Vietnam national team coach Alfred Riedl in the hot seat, will also be ones to watch out for after advancing to the semi-finals of the last edition on home soil.

Simunic wants to test DPMM FC against foreign sides

DPMM FC need a tougher test one that can only be provided by foreign teams.
Vjeran Simunic, the club's head coach, is preparing Brunei's only professional football side for a possible return to the Singapore League and is keen to test DPMM FC against foreign teams.
"Local teams cannot give us the real picture of the team (DPMM FC)," Simunic told The Brunei Times during an interview yesterday.
Seeking to get teams from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand to play here against DPMM FC, the veteran Croatian said in order for his players to grow and improve they had to face more than just the local sides.
DPMM FC had played various friendly matches against the Royal Brunei Armed Forces' Sports Council (MS ABDB) and the U-23 national team, but Simunic wanted more.
He said: "Playing against local teams we wouldn't be able to see the real picture. If we win 8-0 against a local club it won't help us too much. But we do our best ... we practise and play various friendlies against each other."
He said foreign teams, whose players are arguably fitter and more skillful, would provide better contest to DPMM FC and show where they really stood against other good sides.
Their new imports Tales Ricarte dos Santos, George O'Callaghan and Osman Basiru have all impressed during friendly matches and training, but need competitive matches to test themselves, this being their first time playing in an Asian country.
On the fourth import, the Croatian said: "We have not decided on the other import yet. We already have three imports, so we are taking our time. We need to play more games and see what we really need.
"Thus, we need to play serious matches as soon as possible."
He added that they were also focussing on players' fitness.
"We are now concentrating on the teams' fitness. We have in front of us, a big window of opportunities. The new season (of the Singapore League) will start in February so we must concentrate on getting the players fit for matches and get a composed team as well."
DPMM FC last week revealed that the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) had given them the green light to play in the S-League next season.
About a month ago, Singapore's online news portal Today quoted an anonymous source saying that DPMM FC had submitted their application to rejoin the S-League to the Football Association of Singapore (FAS).
Club manager Pg Waslimin PSJ Pg Hj Abd Momin then confirmed the news with The Brunei Times on Sept 15.
Currently in its 16th season, the Singapore's top-flight is scheduled to end on Nov 28 with the new season starting on Feb 12 with a dozen teams playing in three rounds.
All S-League sides are allowed to have four imports per team.

Brunei stint for globe-trotting Moorad
There are countless stories of Kiwis clocking up air points via football and Auckland Football goalkeeping coach Reaz Moorad is another who has travelled the globe thanks to his love of the game.
Coach Reaz Moorad, right, is relishing his time in Brunei.
Having already visited the likes of Germany for an international goalkeeping conference and the United Arab Emirates with Hekari United when the Papua New Guinea side competed in the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup, Moorad is certainly no stranger to passport stamps.
But he may have picked up one that few others have this month courtesy of a two-week stint in Brunei working as a consultant with a club owned by the Crown Prince of the sovereign state - DP MM FC.
Moorad, who came to New Zealand from South Africa, says the exciting opportunity came about via contacts back home.
“A player agent friend in South Africa was sending players to the club for trials so he sent my CV to their representatives and contact was made from there,” Moorad explains.
“The club are the Wellington Phoenix of that country – the only professional team. The Crown Prince of Brunei started the club and has played for the team as goalkeeper and now serves as the chairman and owner.”
DP MM FC are set to re-join the Singapore S-League competition in February and during his time in Brunei, Moorad, who holds a FIFA Goalkeeper Coach Instructor License, will be focussed on working with the club’s custodians both on and off the field.
“The programme I’ve put together has been a lot of work and the players will get a mix of practical and theory sessions.“
Moorad, who served as goalkeeping coach with the Lotto NRFL AllStars squad during the recent Cuesports Foundation Series, says he is relishing the chance to join the DP MM set-up and has aspirations beyond his two-week adventure.
“It’s magic, the best thing in the world and the scope is endless," he says.
"I’m hoping the exposure leads to a permanent role somewhere. You never know what will happen.”

SEA Games football draw confirms Brunei's participation
Sultanate in Group B and opens campaign against Timor Leste on Nov 5 in Jakarta
IT WAS a double dose of good news for the national Under-23 football team yesterday after it was confirmed they will be competing at next month's 26th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Indonesia.
Not only will they be taking to the 88,083 capacity Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta, they have also been handed a favourable draw after being pooled in Group B.
The Sultanate will face Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, the Philippines and Timor Leste in the Nov 11-22 biennial multi-sport event, though the football competition will kick off on Nov 3 with Vietnam taking on the Philippines.
Runners-up in 2009, Vietnam were one of the two seeded teams in the draw which was held yesterday in Jakarta by the Indonesia SEA Games Organising Committee (Inasoc) and telecast live by Indonesia's Studio 4 RCTI (Rajawali Citra Televisi Indonesia).
The other seeded team, defending champions Malaysia were drawn in the group of death with hosts Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and Cambodia in Group A.
The top-two countries in each group will progress to the semi-finals, with the final slated for Nov 21.
The Lebak Bulus Stadium, south of Jakarta, will also play host to the 11-team competition.
Brunei start their campaign on Nov 5 in their most winnable match on paper, at least against Timor Leste, where a positive result will be a confidence booster ahead of their second game against Laos just two days later.
They face Myanmar on Nov 9, Vietnam on Nov 11 and the Philippines on Nov 15.
Unless they defy the odds and qualify for the Nov 19 semi-finals, the Timor Leste tie will be the only one that Brunei will play at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.
On Aug 10 The Brunei Times reported that the country might send a team to the Games, which is probably why a new Under-23 side were formed.
The Games will be the country's biggest test since Fifa lifted its 20-month suspension on the Sultanate in May.
Training since July for the event, this year's SEA Games will mark the country's return to the competition after 10 years. Brunei last saw action at the 2001 SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur, the tournament in the Malaysian capital also the first time the competition was held in an Under-23 format.
Thailand have won the competition a record 13 times, followed by Malaysia and Myanmar with five a statistic that stretches back to 1959 when the event was then known as the Southeast Asian Peninsular Games.
Malaysia won gold in the 2009 SEA Games in Laos when they defeated Vietnam 1-0 in the final with an own goal by Vietnam's Mai Xuan Hop handing the Asean champions their first SEA Games title in 20 years. The Brunei Times

IT WAS a double dose of good news for the national Under-23 football team yesterday after it was confirmed they will be competing at next month's 26th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Indonesia.
Not only will they be taking to the 88,083 capacity Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta, they have also been handed a favourable draw after being pooled in Group B.
The Sultanate will face Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, the Philippines and Timor Leste in the Nov 11-22 biennial multi-sport event, though the football competition will kick off on Nov 3 with Vietnam taking on the Philippines.
Runners-up in 2009, Vietnam were one of the two seeded teams in the draw which was held yesterday in Jakarta by the Indonesia SEA Games Organising Committee (Inasoc) and telecast live by Indonesia's Studio 4 RCTI (Rajawali Citra Televisi Indonesia).
The other seeded team, defending champions Malaysia were drawn in the group of death with hosts Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and Cambodia in Group A.
The top-two countries in each group will progress to the semi-finals, with the final slated for Nov 21.
The Lebak Bulus Stadium, south of Jakarta, will also play host to the 11-team competition.
Brunei start their campaign on Nov 5 in their most winnable match on paper, at least against Timor Leste, where a positive result will be a confidence booster ahead of their second game against Laos just two days later.
They face Myanmar on Nov 9, Vietnam on Nov 11 and the Philippines on Nov 15.
Unless they defy the odds and qualify for the Nov 19 semi-finals, the Timor Leste tie will be the only one that Brunei will play at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.
On Aug 10 The Brunei Times reported that the country might send a team to the Games, which is probably why a new Under-23 side were formed.
The Games will be the country's biggest test since Fifa lifted its 20-month suspension on the Sultanate in May.
Training since July for the event, this year's SEA Games will mark the country's return to the competition after 10 years. Brunei last saw action at the 2001 SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur, the tournament in the Malaysian capital also the first time the competition was held in an Under-23 format.
Thailand have won the competition a record 13 times, followed by Malaysia and Myanmar with five a statistic that stretches back to 1959 when the event was then known as the Southeast Asian Peninsular Games.
Malaysia won gold in the 2009 SEA Games in Laos when they defeated Vietnam 1-0 in the final with an own goal by Vietnam's Mai Xuan Hop handing the Asean champions their first SEA Games title in 20 years. The Brunei Times

Manu not giving up on DPMM FC deal

IS Stephen Manu the hitman DPMM FC are looking for?
Having unveiled three imports defender Tales Ricarte dos Santos and midfielder George O'Callaghan and striker Osman Basiru on Thursday, DPMM FC made it known that they were looking for another foreign striker.
Stepped forward Manu, a Ghanaian striker who was on trial with the club in the Sultanate last week.
The lanky striker is back in Ghana after Brunei's only professional football club failed to agree a transfer fee with his current club New Edubiase United FC, according to a report on Ghana's Peace FM Online yesterday.
Despite this Manu is not overruling a move to Brunei, saying that the transfer could still materialise.
"They (DPMM FC) were so impressed with my performance while on trial with them ... they didn't even want me to come back to Ghana," he was quoted as saying on Melody FM yesterday.
"They wanted to finish a deal but unfortunately couldn't agree a fee with my club Edubiase.
"Their league starts in February-March so there is still a chance for me to move but it depends on whether they can agree a deal with Edubiase," added the 25-year-old hitman.
DPMM FC could have used Manu's services in a friendly match against the national Under-23 team at the Jerudong Mini Stadium yesterday. Head coach Vjeran Simunic saw his team draw 2-2 with the youth side after a rusty performance from his forwards who wasted numerous chances during the game and immediately told The Brunei Times that they are still looking for players as they prepare to 'rejoin' the Singapore League.
Their three imports played well though with Basiru helping set up DPMM FC's opener.
Supplying a good cross from the right, the speedy Ghanaian striker fed another player on trial with the club to make it 1-0. Prolific striker Shahrazen Hj Md Said's volley made it 2-0 for DPMM FC.
Tales, the Samba left-back, worked hard and effectively on both ends tirelessly helping out in defence and joining in attack.
Callaghan, meanwhile, did well to boss the midfield.
Despite controlling the game DPMM FC's forwards wasted too many chances in the match and were later made to pay for it when the U-23 team came back with a penalty and headed goal late in the match to make it 2-2.
Simunic told The Brunei Times: "We did what we could today (Saturday). We are still looking to complete the team and have various players on trial with the club. "We are still not compact enough. We need to properly train full time as players still miss the training sessions because of work. We need a complete team soon," added Simunic, who led DPMM FC to the Singapore League Cup crown in 2009.
About a month ago, Singapore's online news portal Today quoted an anonymous source saying that DPMM FC had submitted their application to rejoin the S-League to the Football Association of Singapore (FAS).
Club manager Pg Waslimin PSJ Pg Hj Abd Momin then confirmed the news with The Brunei Times on Sept 15.
The club on Thursday also revealed that the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) had given them the green light to play in the S-League next season.
Currently in its 16th season, the Singapore's top-flight is scheduled to end on Nov 28 with the new season starting on Feb 12 with a dozen teams playing in three rounds.
All S-League sides are allowed to have four imports per team.

DPMM FC unveil 3 imports
THREE in, one to go.
Having already applied to rejoin the Singapore League (S-League), DPMM FC are working hard to rebuild their squad confirming on Thursday that they have signed three imports.
The club, who said last month they "are on the verge of signing defender Tales Ricarte dos Santos and midfielder George O'Callaghan", unveiled the two players to the Press on Thursday, adding that they had also signed striker Osman Basiru.
Having said earlier they were looking to sign four imports, DPMM FC were working hard to find another player most probably a forward and several foreign players were on trial with the team this week. All S-League sides are allowed to have four imports per team.
Talking to the Press, the 32-year-old O'Callaghan feels that the club are heading in the right direction in terms of preparations.
"We're working hard in training and things are exciting here because it is a new challenge," said the Irish attacking midfielder after a training session at the Jerudong Mini Stadium on Thursday.
"Things are looking positive and I can see that the local players are quite fit. We are working hard to get in shape and show our talents when competition comes," he added.
O'Callaghan played at Ipswich in the 2007/8 season and featured for Tranmere the following season before transferring to Yeovil Town, where he laced up for 12 matches.
On the other hand, Tales last played for Tocantinopolis and the Brazilian regularly featured in the Serie D in Brazil.
He wants to help the team to the ultimate prize and feels that things are looking up for Brunei's only professional football club.
"Training is going really well at the moment. I'm looking forward to compete (in the S-League). We will work hard together and I'm definitely looking to help the team to a championship," said Tales.
Asked about the difference between Brunei and Brazil, the 27-year-old fullback replied: "The weather is similar to Brazil except that it rains here like everyday. But it's so peaceful here and I really enjoy that. The country is also very green and clean."
Meanwhile, Basiru plied his trade for four teams in Israel before coming to Brunei the last being Hapoel Petah Tikva.
The Ghanaian has quickly settled down and is enjoying his time here in the Sultanate.
"Brunei is a beautiful country. I'm really enjoying training with my new teammates," said the striker.
"I have no problems adapting to the weather in Brunei as it is quite similar to my country," added the 22-year-old hitman.
DPMM FC head coach Vjeran Simunic, meanwhile, felt that the most important thing for the imports is for them to adjust quickly since it is their first time playing in Asia.
"We hope they will adjust as soon as possible. It requires time especially since this is the first time for them playing in Asia. In my experience, good players don't necessarily adapt instantly because it is not an easy thing to do," said Simunic.
"But we must be patient with them and we should be ready within the next few months," he added.
"The only problem is that we haven't got any opponents to compete against. It is different against local teams as we need tougher games to test the talent of the imports," continued the Croatian.
"But we'll need the locals to be ready as well to help the imports," concluded Simunic, who led DPMM FC to the Singapore League Cup crown in 2009.
The club on Thursday also revealed that the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) had given them the green light to play in the S-League next season.

DPMM FC get AFC's nod 'to rejoin' S-League

DPMM FC are closer than ever to making a return to the Singapore League (S-League).
The club revealed the good news yesterday telling the Press that the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) had given the team the green light to play in the S-League next season.
In a letter to the National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (NFABD), the confederation stated that the AFC had "no issues" with DPMM FC joining the S-League.
About a month ago, Singapore's online news portal Today quoted an anonymous source saying that DPMM FC had submitted their application to rejoin the S-League to the Football Association of Singapore (FAS).
Club manager Pg Waslimin PSJ Pg Hj Abd Momin then confirmed the news with The Brunei Times on Sept 15.
Currently in its 16th season, the Singapore's top-flight is scheduled to end on Nov 28 with the new season starting on Feb 12 with a dozen teams playing in three rounds.
Brunei's only professional football club exceeded all expectations by becoming the first foreign team to win a trophy in Singapore when they bagged the League Cup in their debut season in 2009.
They were also within range of making it a double in the league with the FA Cup but Fifa's suspension on the Sultanate meant that the club had their campaign ended with five games to go.
Fifa reversed its decision in May and Vjeran Simunic was revealed to have penned a new contact last month, the Croatian coach returning to the side he led to the League Cup success.
He has plenty of work to do in getting the team back up in shape with their last competitive game dating back to Sept 29, 2009 which is a 2-2 draw against S-League side Tampines Rovers FC.
With his vast experience Simunic, who was previously in charge of the side for 17 months until October 2009 when Fifa suspended the Sultanate, is slowly rebuilding the team and things have been progressing well at the Jerudong Mini Stadium.
"My first job is to bring the local players to the level that they were two years ago. It is not easy since they haven't had any competitions (except for domestic tournaments) for two years," said Simunic in an interview during a training session at the Jerudong Mini Stadium yesterday.
"They are all very committed and making sacrifices to turn up for training. We're also working hard on improving on their fitness," he added.
"The only problem now is that we haven't got strong opponents to test the team. But we are looking forward to getting some tough games with the weeks to come," concluded the Croatian.
