Laos 1 Malaysia 4
Malaysia defeated Laos 4-1 in the second group match in the AFF Cup.
Both teams were tied to a 1-1 draw in the first half. The goals for Malaysia came from Safiq Rahim, Safee Sali (pic), Wan Zack Haikal and Khyril Muhymeen Zambri.
So will we now see a video of 'fans' singing 'Thank you Rajagobal'?
Earlier Indonesia managed a 1-0 win over Singapore.
It will certainly be an interesting clash between Malaysia and Indonesia this Saturday.

Interesting clash for sure! Clear mission - Malaysia need to win v Indonesia and qualify for Semis!
ReplyDeleteFunny how when Malaysia lose, the team get a barracking but when they win, everyone hops on the glory bandwagon. Hypocrites or delirious 'fans'? What say you?
ReplyDeleteNo la...kalah menang is part & parcel of the game but look at how we lost the match with that kind of 'kindergarden' display..
Deletewin, we applause. lose we criticize
Deleteor
win, we applause. lose we applause.
Which one is funny?
Why does pencils need erasers?
Kamarul
Exactly. If our team loses a match, we are not allowed to criticise at all? We must celebrate defeat and mediocrity too? Arief Arman, that does not make sense does it?
DeleteIn fact, criticism and credits should apply to both victory and defeat, but certainly at varying proportions.
The team can always improve on its previous performance and valour should always be appreciated.
Mahali menggantikan Bunyamin, disokong oleh Shakir semasa menyerang selain bergilir-gilir mengambil tempat (dan nafas) bersama Wan Zack untuk menyerang dari tepi.
ReplyDeletePertahanan kiri sepatutnya diberi kepada Zubir dari awal memandangkan Azmi Muslim belum mencapai kemuncak prestasi sejak pulih dari kecederaan.
Selain itu Safiq tampak lebih banyak bergerak dan melibatkan diri semasa menyerang dan bertahan (terutama dalam pertukaran posisi Mahali-Shakir-Wan Zack).
Walaupun sebelah kiri, pertukaran posisi ini tidak dapat dilakukan, kelajuan Kunalan dapat dimanfaatkan untuk turut mengancam dari arah berkenaan.
Bagi perlawanan seterusnya, formula ini boleh terus diguna pakai TETAPI memerlukan lebih variasi - alternate serangan kiri dan kanan (yang menuntut kreativiti lebih tinggi dari barisan midfielder) selain cubaan jarak jauh dari tengah.
Cubaan jarak jauh dari Safee dan Mat Yo (Mario?) perlukan ketajaman, kepantasan dan ketepatan.
Nampaknya, eksperimen Rajagopal tidak mendatangkan apa-apa pengajaran. Yang mendatangkan pengajaran adalah perlawanan dari kejohanan sebenar (atau rasa amarah peminat melalui lagu dan penahanan bas?)
FANS HAS SPOKEN, AND FINALLY THEY ARE HEARD!
Kamarul
Setuju dgn kamarul n tahniah utk rajagopal kerana berani meninggalkn slh sorg ank emas dbangku simpanan. Ini kerana sememangnya persembahan amar rohidan tlh menurun n tidak sepatutnya berada dlm kesebelasan. Pemilihan shakir adlh tepat.
DeleteNamun bertemu indonesia adlh merupakan lwn yg sebenar. Mereka juga mempunyai winger yg laju n lincah.
Malaysia pula harus mempertajamkn barisan serangan n perkemaskan pertahanan terutama ketika counter attack. Apapun persembahan Fadhli mlm td adalah terbaek. Keeper pula x byk dpt kita perkatakan kerana hanya mendapat bola beberapa kali sahaja ttp harus bersedia utk berdepan pahlawan garuda nanti.
Kemahkemim...
ReplyDelete"Triumph or Beheaded"
The Malaysian are in danger of elimination if they fail to collect full points against Indonesia come Saturday.
The Malaysian placed third in the group behind Singapore on goal differences need to step-up their playing ability seriously "Triumph or beheaded"
Moreover, the standard of play ditched out by the teams in the tournament so far are so poor tactically and technically which gives equal playing field to all the teams.
Shame on you AFF...!
Congrats Harimau Malaya! A must-win game against the Indonesian which will not be that easy.
ReplyDeletePak Nik
Yes, relieved. But I am still not fully convinced. A win against Laos is par and expected. A bigger and real test would be Indonesia next and hopefully, Thailand later.
ReplyDeleteAgainst Spore, it was not the defeat that really mattered but the manner of the defeat and the embarrassing scoreline. K Rajagobal has probably brought Harimau Malaya as far as he could. That is my opinion for now.
True...the way we were defeated...we were humilaited actually by the kiasu neighbour..
DeleteWell done! Msia 4 Laos 1. Have to beat Indonesis on Sat. Then, looks like we will meet Thailand in the Semis?
ReplyDeletePossible??
