Malaysia winning team-2010 Suzuki cup |
For 14 years we never win any football cup match in Asean level. I guess this year's winning is the beginning of the new era (hopefully) for our country football standard. Most of the team players were below 25 years of age. They are very young, energetic and "hungry" for a winning I guess. That's a good attitude to have when they want to win it so bad. They lost to Indonesia at the beginning of the round, but at final they beat them... So how was that possible??? When I watched them played in the final game, I could see the spirit in each of them that they want to win it so badly and that's why they give us a terrific show. When people saw the "determination spirit" in each of them, that's where the differences were and eventually they won the cup.
So after this what's next for our football team? I hope this would not be a one time off again like what our badminton team last time. Before 1992, they have not win the Thomas cup for 25 years. Now its year 2011, nearly 20 years, we did not win another Thomas cup ever since 1992. So are we supposed to wait 25 years every time we want to win something at the International Level? We were so complacent with the winning of 1992, but after that we did not go far. Unlike the Indonesia and Chinese team. Indonesia lost to us on that 1992 year, but after that they rose to win the cup the following years, not once, but they did it again.. and again and again. So are we going to be complacent every time we won something at International level?? Does the "backup plan" actually works in our National Sports Program??? I wished that this time no more complacent attitude from the backup plan.
