Bravo Malaysia.
The national Under-23 squad celebrate after beating Vietnam 1-0
The last time that Malaysia won the SEA Games football tournament was about 20 years ago when it defeated Singapore in the 1989 SEA Games hosted by Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia had beaten hosts Laos 3-1 in the semi-finals, while Vietnam trounced Singapore 4-1 at the same stage.
Despites Winning the Games, but Malaysian Team Standard Was Still very Low
I have not been following the progress of Malaysian football team since the 80s during Mokhtar Dahari, James Wong, Hassan Sany, Santokh Singh, V.Arumugam, and many more time. But yesterday final game between Vietnam and Malaysia, I was forced to watch the live telecast aired on TV3 by my wife.
The game looked boring and the only reason why Malaysia won was because the opponent was not strong. Being the great fan of the EPL , based on yesterday game, Malaysia team standard was far below the international standard. The players fitness still very weak, and their ball control was terrible and not better than the school team players.
If we want our football team to be in par with world standard, the team need to work 300% harder and if possible get the best coach in the world.
But despite all the weaknesses that I saw, being a Malaysian, I am still proud with our team, and personally would like to Congratulate them.
