Malaysians taking Azkals seriously

The present Malaysia National team is in the midst of accomodating those players who are now over aged, from the under-23 squad recent Sea Games into the national squad. So the team is going through adjustments. We are also still trying to find and form the best team by selecting and promoting players from clubs and  junior ranks into the team and to have them tested out  The newly selected under 23 team is already made up of almost entire new faces and they are not the same calibre players like the past two previous sea games under-23 which won the sea games gold  twice consecutively.

I think it is Philippines has the edge over Malaysia as most of the players in the Philippines team are made up of professional players from european based  clubs. We may have home ground advantage but on papers it is Philippines who are favourites and the stronger team of the two  While we may not have the luxury like Philippines has,( recruiting mixed foreign filipino professional players into the team) .but this should not be an excuse statement  even should we lose . Like i said,  it is good for us to play against your team which is more nd a a much stronger and most improved team, It will be an honor to play against such a respected  strong team like Philippines. I rather we will lose fighting  to a strong teamlike Philippines  than to win at ease without improving ourselves to a weaker team.. All the best to both teams and keep playing the beautiful games. God bless.
