What happened when big clubs came to Malaysia?It a great feelings when I can see my fav team's Manchester United in Malaysia. Maybe some will says that they are here because of the sales but they still here for their loyal fans. 2 games in 3 days? Its a life chance and a good opportunity for us as a fan to see our fav team. 1st game Mu won 3-2 and credits for our national players especially Amri Yahya. 2nd game 2-0 to MU but we still give them a good fight. However there are always some scenario happen when a big club came to Malaysia such MU, Chelsea and during the Youth Club World Cup ( in 2007 if im no mistaken).
Stadium National Bukit Jalil became a home ground for MU when every fans wearing Red. Some people says we suppose to wear Harimau Malaya jersey which is our National Team jersey. Some of our players get mad when supporters prefer to wear MU jersey. This also happens during Chelsea pre season game in Malaysia last season. I dun know. I did wearing MU jersey but not because we're not support our national team. It a life chance to see MU in actions and to wear MU jersey is one way to express our feeling that we are happy they are here. We all know the level of our national team so it not a big deal. They are so mad when we as a fan wearing the MU jersey but they need to think that we also had a bad memory about our players with MU jersey. In 2001, after the game, our players run over MU player to get the jersey...erm maybe because of that we got beaten 6-0. I do believe that when United are in Korea, the scenario will be the same. Fans will wear the United jersey.However their national team still manage to play in World Cup. so....
We're soooo happy when we got beaten only by 2-0 or 3-2. I still remember last year Chelsea won 2-0 and next day inside the news (especially newspaper) we proud of that result. As a football team especially for national team, those statement should be silent. Its our nation, our flag that we are talking about. ( Kalah sebijik ke 2 bijik ke xkan naik ranking nya. Ranking naik ikut kemenangan team bukan jumlah bolos team). This is becoz we always says "Oklah..ingatkan nak kalah 5 6 bijik", even our PM thought that we might lost 6-0 against MU. Our record shows that we deserved that. But this is football.
Its good when our player can score against this big clubs. Its a huge impact for those player. Then we'll hear that the FAM want to send our players to play with MU, Chelsea and other club. It a good ambitions but sometime we need to be realistic. To play with United or Chelsea? Maybe we can send our players to play in Korea, Japan or Arab. They have good league over there. Maybe from there we can slowly try to apply for European club. Sometime we really focus for huge club in the world like EPL especially EPL but I do believe by sending them to other Asian league also is a good plan.It a shame when we read the newspaper about our national coach asking opponent coach to buy our players. We got pride.....Why after every huge clubs that came to Malaysia...this things happen.
During the game against MU. I must admit that our boys gave United a hard time. Maybe some people will says that "Ala try MU main betul2 tgk" but I believe they had shows a great determination in both games. To play against MU is great experience but to play like that......we should be proud
