'I just told the players to face it and maybe it will make us stronger. We have to be realistic against Iran and hope we don't concede too many goals.'

This comment makes me hate the coach even more. Where is the winning mentality?!

An inspiring coach will say something like "this is our 50 years of independence, we will go about to show that malaysian football has what it takes, blah blah, we will bring Iran down and bring merdeka cheer to all the broken malaysian hearts out there."
