And so the Owsumers went out to watch AFF Suzuki Cup match between our country, Malaysia against the visitting team, Vietnam.
we had been planning to go and give our support since the past week. i cant remember the last time i went and watch football in a stadium. Against Liverpool would be the last time, i think.
anyway, Dollah Salleh went full 'Brendan Rodgers' by calling in so-so players. Hell! he even went even further BR when he plays Long Passes and Crossings (dummy runner and through balls from the centre/ wide position would be a better choice).
Mahali was okay, but he cant keep the ball for two seconds under his feet and running here and there like a lunatic, No.16 Kunalan i think was fast.. but he lacks controls and 'gabra' in front of defenders and goalpost. Safiq should control his temper, man.
Offensive needs hell of a support and chemistry! Defense was okay but needs to focus more when the opposing offensives breaking towards the line.
i would recommend the players to watch their backs a lot and to play it cool with a lot of short passings and buildups. NEVER pass when the opponent is in between (keep running or lobe it to any open players). Remember, The faster you are the more mistakes you'll make, and; theres no victory in temper--only more miserable mistakes. pesanan ikhlas ni :)
why? cos TAK COOL DOE KALAH 2-1 DEPAN SUPPORTER SENDIRI!
well, to sum it up we went full Malaysian all for out beloved Malaysia and Harimau Malaya;
1. Planned for 8, but only four of us actually did get the tickets
2. Last minutes ticket hunting.
3. Woke up at 4pm on the matchday itself.
4. Had Nasi Kandar @Asiba, sec13 Shah Alam.
5. Bought last minute Jerseys.
6. Dozens of calls, "weh kau kat mana?". "aku on the way. jammed doww" but we're pretty sure our fella is nowhere near the highway/road.
8. Endless swearings. "kimaknye reff! Sial punya drama vietnam pundek!"
9. Makan and shisha and condemns
10. Makan somemore and actually praise our countrymen.
and yes, The 'Wajib Buat'.
standing up during our National Anthem, joined shouting for protest towards the hooligans actions when Vietnamese supporters tries to escape the ruckus towards the end.
And endless 30mins before+45+15+45+30mins more of chantings and singing with our Malaysian Ultras bros, Ultras Malaya! Awesome chants and Drumlines! Good Job, UM'07!
