Malaysian Football : Fit players wanted
I was mightily surprised when I read on of the column in yesterday's The Star sport section. The column that says :
FAM: No place for unfit playersWhat? All this while, the clubs/states have been playing unfit players? No wonder we even lose to the Vietnamese! And what the hell is FAM doing checking the fitness of every players in every clubs/states? Don't they have anything better to do, like grassroots development? Football academy? Coaching coaches? National team development?
I do feel that something is seriously wrong with our football. With all the investments, sponsorships, well-structured league with lucrative prizes, oversea-stints, we are still struggling at SEA level, never mind Asian. I think that with our current condition, at least, we would be the top two team in SEA, everytime, every tournament. And this statement from FAM is definitely a proof that our football is really in trouble.
Since when is the fitness of the club/state players falls under the responsibility of the National FA? Isn't that what the clubs/states are supposed to take care off? Don't they have physios? Physical trainers? Club doctors? Or is the condition of our football is that the clubs/states do not care at all about the fitness of their players? Is this the mentality of "don't worry if our players are unfit, theirs' are worse"? What are the clubs/states doing on their daily training? Playing kippy-uppy for 2 hours then go home? Or is this becoz our players are so poor, lazy, got attitude problem somemore, there are not 11 fit players in a team that the clubs/states do not have a choice but to play them all? Is this it? I believe that for every sports team, they should do fitness tests every now and then to gauge the fitness level of their members. Like the Cooper test. I know. Coz I used to play rugby, and during the whole season, every fortnightly we will have to undergo this test to ensure our fitness level does not drop. And I am talking about school-level of rugby, not even state-level. Is the condition of our club/state-level football is really really that bad that they don't even bother to do this on their own, but have to depend on the national FA to do it for them? Gosh, if this is the case, then I believe we should just disband the FA altogether and give all the money allocated to them to Nicol David. She will be the undisputed World Champs, man!
Man, I pity Malaysian football!!

Bola kita mmg dah teruks :( FAM lagi la, run not by people who know the sport, but by stupid political dictators who only see the $$$ :P
Anywayz, ada lagi menda2 yang baru aku perasan (maybe sebab aku jarang2 sangat nengok bola mesia ni)
After chatting with my cousin, who was involved with the Kedah FA a few years back (now a cikgu at a kedah school), he told me this... and I hef to agree...
1. All the clubs dont have threr own stadiums :( If you look overseas, ManU got Old Trafford. Liverpool got Anfield, and Spurs got White Heart Lane (did I get de spelling rite?)... Mesia clubs dont hef their own stadiums. Most privately owned... when want to play or practise, need to pay. No income.. only outflow. Pasal tu gaji tak terbayar2 kot kadang kadang :P
2. Duit peruntukan... FAM allocate each year or something. Since FA not generating money of its own, susah la sket :P Need money from FAM. FAM pulak BODOPIANG macam RahBabiTa Anok Rahmat! hahahahaha!!!!
Plus.. apa lagi ek. lupa dah. anywayz, maybe belum sampai masa kita lagi kot nak buat macam kelab2 kat eropah (to own a stadium and stuff). But at least I think FAM shud be run by people who know the sprort! :P
ada malaysia punya team yanga da stadium sendiri.. KL thei own Stadium KLFA kat Cheras kalau tak silap aku.. and MPPJ ada Stadium MPPJ.. betui ka? ka aku salah?
