How did JDT get so big? The club has made a film to explain

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 — A little over a decade ago, Johor FC were fighting to stay in Malaysia’s top flight; today, as Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT), they are the country’s dominant club.

That journey is now the subject of Untamed , a 76-minute club-produced documentary that revisits its milestones, achievements and controversies.

“The whole idea behind producing these documentaries is to help everyone learn more about JDT than they previously knew, particularly what happens behind the scenes and how things operate,” chief operating officer Alistair Edwards told reporters at a special screening at TGV Suria KLCC last week.

Edwards said he is often asked on his travels how the club achieved so much in such a short time.

His answer, as the film tells it, is simple: “As you can see, it comes down to having a good team, led by one person who is behind the vision.”

The club was founded in 1972 as Perbadanan Kemajuan Ekonomi Negeri Johor (Johor State Economic Development Corporation) Football Club, became Johor FC in 1996 and was rebranded as Johor Darul Ta’zim in 2013 under owner Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, the Regent of Johor.

The league titles followed from 2014, and the Southern Tigers, as the club is nicknamed, have since become regulars in Asian competition.

Untamed draws on management voices including Edwards, finance director Datuk Seri Jaifuddin, special projects manager Kevin Ramalingam and former sporting director Martin Prest.

From the pitch come current players Arif Aiman, Bergson da Silva, Matt Davies and Corbin Ong, along with former players Safiq Rahim and Safee Sali and former head coach Bojan Hodak.

Former youth and sports minister Khairy Jamaluddin and rapper Joe Flizzow also appear.

The documentary is streaming on JDT+, the club’s own platform, which launched on October 22.

More is on the way, including Unbound , a series on the club’s AFC Champions League Elite campaigns, due in November.

Edwards said he hopes younger players will take the film as motivation to prepare for their careers.

“This platform allows us to share those experiences and create something positive for the next generation, both in their careers as footballers and in their lives beyond professional football,” he said.

吉隆坡，11 月 1 日讯——十多年前，柔佛足球俱乐部还在为留在马来西亚顶级联赛而奋斗；如今，作为柔佛达鲁塔克辛（JDT），他们已成为该国的霸主俱乐部。

这段历程如今成为了纪录片《Untamed》的主题，这部时长 76 分钟的纪录片由俱乐部制作，回顾了这段历程中的里程碑、成就和争议。

“制作这些纪录片的初衷是帮助大家更多地了解柔佛DT，特别是幕后发生的事情以及公司的运作方式，”首席运营官Alistair Edwards上周在TGV Suria KLCC的特别放映会上告诉记者。

爱德华兹表示，他在旅行途中经常被问到，俱乐部是如何在如此短的时间内取得如此大的成就的。

正如影片中所述，他的回答很简单：“正如你所看到的，关键在于拥有一支优秀的团队，由一位有远见卓识的人领导。”

该俱乐部成立于 1972 年，当时名为 Perbadanan Kemajuan Ekonomi Negeri Johor（柔佛州经济发展公司）足球俱乐部，于 1996 年更名为柔佛足球俱乐部，并于 2013 年更名为 Johor Darul Ta'zim，所有者为柔佛摄政王东姑依斯迈苏丹易卜拉欣 (Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim)。

从 2014 年开始，该队连续获得联赛冠军，而这支绰号为“南方之虎”的球队也成为了亚洲比赛的常客。

《野性难驯》一书汇集了多位管理层人士的声音，包括财务总监拿督斯里·贾伊夫丁、特别项目经理凯文·拉马林甘以及前体育总监马丁·普雷斯特。

现役球员阿里夫·艾曼、伯格森·达席尔瓦、马特·戴维斯和科尔宾·翁，以及前球员萨菲克·拉希姆和萨菲·萨利，还有前主教练博扬·霍达克都出席了活动。

前青年和体育部长凯里·贾马鲁丁和说唱歌手乔·弗利佐也出现在节目中。

这部纪录片正在JDT俱乐部自己的平台JDT+上播放，该平台于10月22日上线。

更多精彩内容即将推出，包括将于 11 月推出的系列报道《Unbound》，该系列报道将聚焦俱乐部在亚冠联赛精英赛中的征程。

爱德华兹表示，他希望年轻球员能以这部电影为动力，为自己的职业生涯做好准备。

他说：“这个平台让我们能够分享这些经验，并为下一代创造一些积极的东西，无论是在他们的足球生涯中，还是在他们职业足球之外的生活中。”
