PSMS Medan letting Chilean Eduardo go

MEDAN: PSMS Medan will not renew the contract of Chilean Luis
Eduardo for the Indonesian League soccer competition starting on
Jan. 14, an official said on Tuesday.

PSMS general secretary H. Randiman Tarigan told Antara news
service Eduardo would be let go after three seasons with the club
because his play was no longer considered of the "desired
quality".

However, the club will extend the contracts of three other
South American players: Paraguayan Alcidio Fleitas, who was the
top scorer (seven goals) in PSMS' successful defense of the Bang
Yos Cup in Jakarta earlier this month, and Chileans Alejandro
Tobar and Mario Alberto.

"These three long-serving players on the PSMS team are having
their contracts renewed because they still show quality (play),
so it's only fitting for us to keep them," Randiman said.

PSMS will compete with 13 other teams in the western zone of
the competition, with the winner from its group to meet the
winner of the 14-strong eastern section. -- JP
