By JAMES GARDINER Oct. 6, 2012, 4:08 am
THE intimidating task of shutting down Jets marquee man Emile Heskey has been given to a Novocastrian.
Newcastle-born Adelaide United defender Nigel Boogaard is expected to mark Heskey’s every move when the former England striker makes his A-League debut against the Reds at Hunter Stadium tomorrow.
The arrival of the imposing Jets No.9, along with that of Italian maestro Alessandro Del Piero at Sydney FC and Shinji Ono at new club Western Sydney Wanderers, has created unprecedented hype about the season.
‘‘It is great having these types of players come to our country, and to have the ability to put yourself up against them and try to compete with these guys,’’ Boogaard told the Herald.
‘‘It should be a great challenge.’’
Boogaard, a Dudley Redhead junior who came through the youth system at Newcastle United, is no stranger to marking big names, having previously lined up opposite Heskey contemporaries Dwight Yorke and Robbie Fowler.
‘‘It is always good to say you have played against them, especially the ones who have been around awhile and been at the top,’’ Boogaard said.
‘‘It’s pretty cool.’’
Although boasting equally impressive resumes, Yorke and Fowler had not come off a near- full season in the English Premier League and do not share
Heskey’s physical attributes.
‘‘He is going to be a handful,’’ Boogaard said.
‘‘Physically it is going to be a challenge. From all reports he is looking well.
‘‘My approach doesn’t really change.
‘‘It depends on the way the game is being played, and if they are going short to feet or looking for the ball high.
‘‘Guys of that strength, you don’t want to get in a physical contest with them when you are wrestling for the ball.
‘‘If he doesn’t know where I am, and I can come and steal the ball from either side of him, that is more realistic.
‘‘I know he will definitely be a handful in the box and crosses are going to come in. We will have to be on our toes.’’
Boogaard was suspended for the Reds’ 3-2 loss in extra time to Bunyodkor in the quarter-final of the Asian Champions League in Tashkent on Wednesday night.
He stayed in Adelaide and will be one of only a few with fresh legs tomorrow.
But who he partners in the heart of defence remains unclear.
Fellow centre-back Iain Fyfe was sent off in extra time against Bunyodkor and under Asian Football Confederation regulations he and striker Fabian Barbiero, who was also issued a red card, will serve their one game suspension tomorrow.
At 188 centimetres and nearly 90 kilograms, Boogaard has a similar frame to Heskey.
‘‘The only one, if anyone, you could compare him to is Sergio van Dijk,’’ Boogaard said of the current A-League strikers. ‘‘Obviously he [Heskey] has been in the game a long time and played at the highest level, but in terms of style they are similar.’’
Jon McKain, who came in for Boogaard, missed a large chunk of the preseason and had been in doubt for the ACL match with a leg injury, and is unlikely to back-up. Osama Malik is the likely cover.
Tarek Elrich scored the winner in a 1-0 victory for the Jets over Adelaide in their last encounter in round 21 of the 2011-12 campaign at Hunter Stadium.
Ryan Griffiths, Ben Kantarovski and Ruben Zadkovich are the only Jets from that match expected to start tomorrow.
It will be a more familiar looking Reds outfit. Adelaide were one of the major disappointments of last season, finishing only in front of the now-defunct Gold Coast United.
‘‘Last season wasn’t great and the [Asian] Champions League gave us a chance to prove we were a better team than we showed,’’ Boogaard said.
‘‘We have had a good pre-season, and with a couple of Champions League games under our belt, no-one is looking back on last season now.’’
‘‘The biggest thing for us this year is that Kossie [coach John Kosmina] is going to have a headache to pick his strongest 11 each week.
‘‘We have healthy competition across the whole squad now, which maybe we didn’t have last year.’’
The Jets trained behind closed doors yesterday and were not available to speak to the Herald.
2 things, I can see Booooogard getting sent off in this game and good to see the Jets are still playing nice with The Herald.
Also Boogard handed in his Novocastrian status when he signed for the coasties.

Traitor of the highest order. Not good enough to play for Newy sign for any other HAL side. Sign for Gypos and be scum for life. McBreen Stuey M take note!!
stuey is alright by me. he inseminated your mum.
Remember, McBreen white anted the Gypos GF all by himself.
Still doing it for Newy that kid.
Jets not appealing Birghitti's red.
FFS a joke of a decision, it took a deflection off his chest how is that "intentional"?
As soon as I saw it happen I thought red card. Any keeper stupid enough to wave their arms around in a star jump fashion outside the box - gives the ref little if any option other than to hand out a red card.
The ref got it right regardless of what the replay demonstrated.
Huh? So the replay demonstrated the ref got it wrong but he's still right?
And apparantly if one of the MRC agrees with the decision he gets another week!
Thats bullshit.
There is no video replay as far as the ref is concerned. Hence, the decision has to be made without the use of a replay.Huh? So the replay demonstrated the ref got it wrong but he's still right?
If someone can prove that the ball did not hit the players arm without resorting to a replay then I would be most interested.
Edit: Until I saw the replay I thought he touched the ball. After seeing the replay I knew he didn't.

Thats only if he appealed.
How many weeks did Birighitti get? is straight red 1 week or 3 for violent conduct?
I'm sure ref got the tip from the touchy and consulted him before producing the red.
Anyone seen a replay of game to confirm?
I agree with above, i.e first reaction - Red Card. Even the way it comes off his body makes it look as though it has come off his hand.
Referee got it spot on as far as the evidence presented to him in that split-second.
I will never support the call for "video-evidence". Tough call to take, but it's part of the game. Honestly, this wasn't the turning point of the match, the Opening whistle and 3 at the back was our Death Knell IMHO

I don't want video refs during the game, but post game it should be used to review decisions. The Jets and Birighitti have been punished enough with the red. Regardless of the way the ref saw it on the day (and without replay I agree with the decision) if the replay suggests otherwise the sentence should be cut.
That's the first footage I've been able to watch from the game, and I've only got this to say: as much as I think it's unacceptable that Adelaide managed to get in behind the back line so easily, the two central defenders need to put their hands up and take much greater responsibility in situations like that. F*ck me, how hard is it for a pair of professionals to mark runners in a tight space and prevent two f*cking soft tap-ins? What a joke. Wenger's pansies can defend better than that.
Dead set, we will never go anywhere until we sign some decent players. It's as simple as that.
There's the issue in a nutshell. Back 3 requires 1 central man to do a 2-man job. Impossible with a high line and midfielders slow to track back
Not impossible if the 2 wide men dropped back ala GF 2008. But the way GvE played with having Ritter and Neville as fullbacks was always doomed to fail.
he got a 1 wk ban
