Yesterday was the 2nd game of our U21 campaign against Japan!
And once again, our young guns brought home the win.
(81877) Even better, it was against one of our direct rivals for qualification to the next round !
We deliberately let them win the rebounding battle (we knew they were way stronger in that area anyway) and focused on other aspects where we could make a real impact despite our fragile roster. And it paid off ! This great win puts us one step closer to the second round, even if there’s still a lot left to do, of course.
The players are improving nicely, and I’ve got some great feedback on their training plans. Still, we’ll have to rely on our key guys staying in good game shape since we don’t have much bench depth.
Next Monday we’ll face U.A.E., and we’ll be chasing a third straight win, which would be a huge step toward qualification ! But we’ll need to prepare that game very seriously.
Big thanks to everyone supporting our national teams
Go Malaysia!!!
