Negative intersection of symplectic submanifolds

For a symplectic 4-manifold, it is possible for two symplectic submanifolds to intersect negatively? Actually it is an exercise in the 4-manifold book by Gompf and Stipsicz to find symplectic planes in $\mathbb{R}^4$ with negative intersection. Now I want to know the closed case. Does this happen also for closed symplectic manifolds?
