نحن قوم أعزنا الله بالإسلام ، فهما طلبنا العزة بغيره ، أذلنا الله

We are the people whom Allah honoured through Islam, so whenever we seek honour other than it, Allah will disgrace us.

Malaysia VS China



Well, I started taking up the new habit last week. Road Trip.



Last week, I went to Batu Pahat after work (wednesday). On the way, we stopped at one of those durian stalls to enjoy the exotic taste of the king of fruits. I finally got home at 2am.



Friday, with another friend, I went to Tg Tuan, just to enjoy the view and meal at ILHAM resort.



Saturday, had a meeting in Serdang.



Sunday, went all the way to Melaka, to visit the remnants of our first european colonialisation. Got home later that evening.



Monday, accompany a friend to senawang, had dinner at Seremban 2 and watch DieHard4.0



Tuesday, went to Bukit Jalil to watch Malaysia vs China. Well, I think the team deserve better credit than it is currently being given.



We had average defense that can defend quite well, to an extent that China has to get into the box to score. But they got in very well, and converted most of their opportunities.



We had good strikers, eventhough Hairudin lost the ball few times. He did cause some chaos in the Chinese defense line. On the other hand, we were not as efficient as the Chinese in converting our opportunities.



Midfield, I think Hardi Jaafar (No 10) was dragging the whole team down. He did not do his part, did not run, did not mark his man properly amongst others. Shukor Adan improved a little as compared to his performance in the Tiger Cup.



Our captain was simply inspiring. His work rate was fabulous, and second to none. The result was quite unfair to the amount of effort he put in.



Eddy Helmi, eventhough his passes got intercepted few times, his work rate was superb. He kept running till the final minute.



Indra Putra's introduction did influence the game a little. His phyisical presence was simply more effective as compared to Akmal Rizal's.



We played long ball too much. The Chinese players made full use of their height advantage in defending the goal, as well as scoring the goal.



All in all, thanks to Indra for scoring a superb goal. Malaysia should rehearse doing this more oftern, considering that we are physically inferior to our opponents. Nod the ball back to one shooter, and let him shoot.



To our coach, PLEASE DROP HARDI JAAFAR. I think he has become rather complacent, thinking that he is indispensable, regardless of his performance. Better put one of those Kedah young players, that won the FA cup. Their work rate is remarkable, their enthusiastic to prove their value on the national squad will be immense.



Good experience, spoiled by Malaysia No 10.
