some of these people dont understand the 'dark arts of defending'... they have been too far pampered by glory-hunting with ready made world class teams that they are unable to comprehend the tactical discipline and sacrifices needed to play against teams far superior than you...

our defensive play last night was not weakness.. it was tactical.. we choosed to play that way because its the best option at that moment. each player's main priority was to defend their post and leave no gap behind. second priority was to waste time. attacking was totally dead last on the priority list.

by 'allowing' the Lebanese to have 'safe' possession in the middle third, and only tighten the screw and have a wall of two people in front of them if they want to make way or passes in-road, the Lebanese have no choice but to pass sideways.. again and again to lure us out to create opening.. and if we don't eat the bait, these 'safe' possession is actually time-wasting on our advantage. And by that, we have manage to keep our first priority and second priority in-tact. its pretty annoying and frustrating to be on the Lebanese side in that situation i tell you. Apart from the goal, the cannot create any other open chances....

As we need to double up on each Lebanese player with the ball left, right and centre, we need the extra man in midfield. Coupled with the red card, its obvious that we didn't have the need nor the presence to attack anymore. In fact it could be fatal if Lebanese could counter from our attack. Lumping the ball far out was the correct decision if we didn't have 100% safe option to keep possession. Our players don't have to leave their post - checked. Time wasting - checked.

if you still need an European football example of this tactic just refer back to Mourinho's Inter defeat of Barca in CL 2 years ago. IMO, that the only way to defeat teams that have a super possession skills like Barca. And if clubs like Real Madrid or Manchester United felt that it is below them to play like that, than they will never defeat Barcelona.

And be prepare for more of that when Malaysia plays against the 3 EPL teams and during the Olympic q/l group stage

Khairul fahmi (GK)
Muslim (CB)
Fadli Shas (CB)
Mahali Jasuli (RB)

are senior team starting players... expect their faces in the world cup q/l next week as well..

gurusamy and izzaq farris also involve in the background...

in the 6 group games.. every game is a 10 vs 11... even if we have 11 men

target layak ke group stage dah dapat.. revised target aku sekarang adalah untuk team kita dapat positive results on all home games... give the gallery a blast... tu pon sebenarnye susah nak mampus .. tapi tu je aku harap...

http://beritabolaterkini24jam.blogspot.com...t-kumpulan.html

my pick is....

1. Australia - I think our team more suited to play against European style teams than silky skill East Asians..
2. Qatar - We have played them and they probably underestimating us right now. Bahrain also ok.
3. Syria - it will be a blow if we are pitted against Saudi or especially Uzbek.
4. Malaysia

FT : M'sia senior (badrol,fakri,sasikumar) 3-1 M'sia olimpik (sivanesan)


sasikumar is HM B goalkeeper.. but due to lack of subs, RG used him to sub safee sali as striker ... scored after 4 minutes off a header.

nope. i wanted to go but last minute family thing came up.. plus i was still tired from a roller coaster Thursday night... i heard it from HMC and FB. GK Coach Faozi Mukhlas and Kosmo reporter Wan Fakhrul spread the info about the training match around in FB..



INFO TAMBAHAN : sasikumar ganti safee sali sbg striker...
apex dan sharbinee direhatkan...
nasril nourdin, Syed Adney keeper..

1. gembira Aidil boleh start training match ni. sama juga dgn chanturu dan fakri
2. nampak gaya helmi rameli benar2 give good impression on Rajagopal at right back... saingan yang bagus untuk Mahali Jasuli.. begitu juga Shakir Saari di center midfield. Beliau boleh main kedua2 posisi Safiq atau Amar Rohidan.
3. hampeh btol Hadi yahya plak injured... jika masih ada pluang, diharap RG pangillah Manaf Mamat tu.. kalau tinggal sorang je fit striker dalam team pon tetap tak nak panggil manaf, memang sahla ada masalah lain antara RG dan Manaf selepas sukan SEA.
4. walaupun Terengganu tunjuk form baik di liga dan FA cup, Ashaari tetap dianggap sebagai second choice oleh RG. beliau lebih selesa dgn Kuna dan Amirul Hadi di wing.

tapi playmaker suka kalau ade player laju macam Chanturu.. bagi bola impossile pon die bleh kejar... tapi finishing dan final ball kureng sikit la

Lets all give our appreciation to Darcie Ong, who since born to this world close to 2 months ago, just spent no more than 10 days with her father...

Speaks volume to how comitted her fathers is towards his reponsibility towards his boys, his job and his country that he deemed time with 'the boys' are more crucial than the first 2 months of his daughter's life..

When you are old enough to realise what is happening, Darcie, you will understand that the sacrifice made by your father ment a lot to our country and for that we are deeply thankful...

wether you are a supporter or not, Malaysia national team jerseys are a collectable due to the scarcity of it...

the same...

i do hope the crowd is much more than the Lebanon game. This is a WORLD CUP match after all... whichever team who lift the cup in the end earn that prestige from sweat shed at these qualifying matches all over the world....

A high which we must not come down from
2011/06/25

MALAYSIAN football, undeniably, is on a high.

The Sea Games gold was won after a 20-year lapse in 2009, the national team clinched the Asean Football Federation (AFF) title for the first time last year and on Thursday, the Under-23 squad advanced to the final round of 2012 Olympic Qualifiers.

This is, for most fans, uncharted territory for all they can remember are one bad result after another following that heady night in 1989 when Malaysia beat Singapore 3-1 for the Sea Games gold in a rain-soaked Merdeka Stadium.


The bribery crisis of 1994-95 may have played a major role but it wasn't the only reason why Malaysian football took such a battering.

The M-League, even in its semi-pro days, spoilt the players as teams -- despite not being able to afford them -- paid big money for the "cream" of talent.

The FA of Malaysia's salary ceiling was breached in numerous creative ways, including giving players taxi permits and rubbish disposal contracts.


It came with a heavy price though as players were not interested in representing the national team and when forced to, saw no reason to give their best.

That is the main reason why FAM continues to house full-time teams when, in actual fact, it should be picking players from the M-League and President's Cup.

Ong Kim Swee's Under-23 side play as Young Tigers A in the Super League while Young Tigers B feature in the Premier League.


In fact, most of the national players in K. Rajagobal's senior side are products of the national body's development programmes rather than that of the affiliates so if there is any party that deserves credit for the upswing, it is the much-maligned FAM.

But even as we rejoice in the fact that Malaysia can now claim to be Southeast Asia's best, the football fraternity must keep their feet firmly on the ground.

The game in Southeast Asia is nothing great to shout about and the fact that regional kingpins Thailand are world ranked 120 tells the real story.

Still, this is a good point to start from and having qualified for the final round of the Olympic Qualifiers, the Under-23 squad will face some of Asia's best teams.

The quality of the opposition will, in most cases, both shock and amaze them and it won't be a surprise if Malaysia finish at the bottom of whichever group they are drawn in on July 7.

No one, given just where Malaysian football was a short time ago, expects them to emulate the squads of 1972 and 1980 and qualify for the Olympics but what is expected is that they learn and put the good experience to good use when they graduate to the M-League and, ultimately, senior national side.

The joy that the footballers -- be it the Laos Sea Games winning side, the AFF squad or the Olympic team -- gave fans has become addictive and this is one high which the whole country doesn't want to come down from.

yeah.. but some of our best players are not at their best fitness wise..

Nor Shahrul, Khairul Fahmi, Hadi Yahya, S. Chanturu, Fakri Shaarani and Aidil Zafuan are all still carrying injuries but still named in the 23...

i do hope if not necessary, RG dont play them .... i have confidence that the alternative players are good enough to take out Taiwan..

But Singapore are a different thing altogether...we need to be at full cylinders to beat them.. so better not risk aggravating the injuries now..

on another note... its quite weird that Azmi Muslim is dropped... we are lacking left legged players in the team.. Asrarudin is the only left back left..

i please to say that competition for winger/attacking midfielder in the team is very fierce that even Wan Zack cannot get a place on the bench... Kuna and Amirulhadi are RG's regulars.. but on top of that you still have Ashaari, Chanturu and Badrul Baktiar..... they will not give their place to anyone.. olympics or no olympics.....

i also glad that Shakir Shaari is rocking up the centre midfield and Helmi Rameli is putting pressure on the right back position.. keeping everybody on their toes...

competition is especially high for the goalkeepers... blip once, and someone will take over the spot from you...

we are only light right now at left back position and striker...... i think for next round, we will see Terengganu duo Zubir Azmi and Manaf Mamat called up to beef up those position..

yeah... despite that, wan zack still manage to draw an assist to Thamil Arasu for Harimau Muda vs Pahang last Sunday night..
