Last nite our national team was out against the UAE team.Last weeks or two we were shocked with the fitness test result of our national team players.The result show that only 2 out of 20 or more trainee were fit enough to compete at international level.Based on this test we can said that MSL is a far worse legaue compared to what we expected.Previously I thought Malaysia can compete at international level due to height and size of Malaysian but the fact is our players is not fit make the condition worse.Since that fitness is not something that can be recovered during 4 or 5 days of training there's no way we can performed well in this qualifying round.
Beaten by UAE 5-0 at home was so humiliating.If in front of own supporters (don't think our supporters will go and watch match at UAE) they can perform then how it can be while playing away from home?If last nite match was the banchmark of our target to be at 2018 World Cup,I can said it is impossible.We had already lacked in height and now we were unfit.Disability to keep competent for the whole match cost us the game.Due to low fitness level there will be higher probability for the players to make mistake once they are tired.Can't those the administration of FAM think about this?Do they have insight about how's today football is played?It looks like FAM still in their comfort zone where they always look at the past when Malaysia is one of the most feared team in Asia.Come on guys,WAKE UP!!!!!
After all we should send states team coach for fitness coaching course.Since that players spend more time with states team then the coaches is the one who responsible to ensure they are fit at all time.In addition I think we should follow Ian Rush suggestion to have a coach for attackers.There are so much things to be upgraded if we want to succeed.PHM had already take the first step in order to improve our hockey team.FAM should follow their footstep and co-operate with former player to re-develop football in Malaysia.We as a Malaysian still want to see our team back as a top team in Asia.
