It has been my wildest dream for years of supporting Malaysian football scene to see international pundits putting their words of wisdom into writings about our football scene. And today soccernet.com featured something about Malaysia, after a long wait.
And it’s nothing about Zaquan Adha, Aidil Zafuan or any of our young starlets trying to cross the threshold the fray of world football, but it is our Prime Minister who get up of his seat to show that he is a passionate Man Utd die-hard-fan, by trying to aks for AFC to revoke their decree of not allowing Man Utd to play in Kuala Lumpur in their one-week Asian tour, which somehow clash with Asian Cup. For your information, the most supreme football tournament in Asia is saying hello in a few months and can’t we give the cup some space for making its vibe? I just think that Asian Cup should be treated with respect, and any other football event across the region should rest their arm and embrace the most prestigious football party of our own.I am not being bias because Man Utd is coming, and not Liverpool, but AFC has its poise to be taken care off.
And to have our PM making his way into the picture is making me hiding my face into some hulu. I owe him a huge of respect by being appreciative to millions of Premiership fans in trying to bring the Premiership aura to Malaysia but with a troublesome education system in one hand and an uncertain future of our Malaysian Plan whatever not on the other, why he always have time to think about other things like this? We have our line of ministers to take care of this issue anyway. So he might want to really work on our beloved country’s future and curb out corruptions instead.
Whatever it is, I just hope that this July’s Asian Cup will be a huge a success and would be a turning point of a bright future ahead of Asian football scene, especially our own Malaysian scene - and also, a time for every people across this humble region to have fun and joy out of the beautiful game.
P.S. So we are going to be up against Iran, Uzbekistan and China PR in Group C. Huh, what an easy way to say goodbye in front of our own crowd. Anyway good luck dude! Don't let our shiny Nike wear been tarnished and washed away by goal fiestas.
in a way, it tells of how sick our football scene currently is. as if it's a joke that none of our national players are good enough to make into the global forefront, that interestingly, albeit pathetically we need the country's most important person to step in front to make football headlines.
by the way, the team is currently down under on tour, i bet u know kan? they're scheduled to play against sydney fc within this week. being a good malaysian, aku pun tgh cari details la ni, nk gi tgk.. hahaha. but no publicity given, i'm afraid they're gonna have it behind closed door je.
