Kwaiwah nailed my point exactly.
As of today, Malaysia is ranked 66 out of 98 teams. As a former NT manager, I can tell you that most matches that you will play is going to be against stronger opposition. And the one or two more weaker teams in your group, will aim to beat you with CT advantage because the other teams are just too strong and we pose a good target for a surprise win. Obviously, we cannot be wasting our enthusiasm on weaker teams so now even they pose a threat. What is your game plan?
How good you are as a manager is not based on your team's salary, but how often you beat superior opposition (In this case, a team with higher team salary)? You don't even have to win the match, just let us know that you went in with a workable game plan to give yourself a decent chance of winning.
To the two NT manager candidates, LA-Phenomenal and Ahmoi, like politicians running for office, I would like to see your cases by running through a match you were in where you thought you used your lineup and tactics to obtain a favourable result. I'll try come up with an example during the weekend if I find the time just so I don't leave everyone hanging. Thanks.
P.S. - LA-Phenomenal actually came forward to make a claim for the NT job. That in itself shows confidence, and I give you two points for that.
