Assalamualaikum and Hello to all Infinitesane visitor.
Well, I notice from my feedjit, that some search brought them to this blog, and surely, they search a match review about Liverpool vs Malaysia this evening. I'm sorry about a little bit late response. I just need to rest this laptop, since the electricity bill is peaking. Once I turn on this laptop, I spend some times to view some of the facebook comment about the game because there is a lot of critics in the social world. I may have use that. And may I remind you that I'm not a football(Soccer) specialist, so maybe some of my opinion is not right. I didn't even know whether they changing the formation cause I don't notice that even though I know they're changing the formation once a while. So, before I start the review, I present to you, the highlight of the match. But, not all goals are included since nine goals are conceded tonight. The full result; Malaysia 3-6 Liverpool. Alas, I'm half-satisfied. But, I want to point out an interesting fact. If you notice, after Safee Sali scored his second goals, he wants to celebrate it with fans, but when he notice in front of him is the sea of reds, he turns back to celebrate with his team mates. Wow, he is totally disappointed with the Malaysian fans who rather wear the Liverpool's jersey instead of National's jersey. He stated his feeling in his facebook that urges fans to wear Malaysian jersey or color to motivate him and his team mate. Good job Safee...
just found another highlight, full goals, and the best part? It's in Arabic... I LOVE Arabic commentator, they are so passionate. watch it...
So, what does it mean that I'm half-satisfied? Based on the scorelines, we can conclude that our strike forces doing their job well and I'm totally satisfied with that, BUT APPARENTLY OUR DEFENDER DON'T. From what I've see, when Azmi Muslim replacing Asrarudin Putra, the hole is getting bigger. the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th goal comes from there. So, I assume this is something Liverpool player manage to sniff from the game. Malay said "Lubuk". I'm not sure what's the meaning in English.
Good Side?
But move to midfield and striker, much much better. The ball moving around. We didn't hold the possession, but we do makes a lot of dangerous attack from everywhere. I really enjoy this match, but disappointed with the defenders. But I understand that coach try to give chance players to play with the world class player.
I maybe bias, indeed I am. I'm just gonna share the joy about how awesome Malaysia goals are. Because, okay, let have a short explanation about Liverpool's goals.
1st goal: New signing Charlie Adam Penalty kick. Referee decision, debatable.
2nd goal: Lucky goal, Fadhli Shas want to clear the ball, deflected to Muslim Ahmad, and Ngog, unmarked happily stick his leg to score.
3rd goal: Just after a few second from the second goal, the clearing error again gives space to Ngog again unmarked to score his second goal.
4th goal: Again, from the same spot, Maxi Rodriguez, unmarked happily score an easy goal
5th goal: After a little shock from Safee Sali strike, I thought they will organize better since the scoreline narrowed by 3-4, but no. Dirk Kuyt freely from the same spot do his run and cross, then Rodriguez score it.
6th goal: Again and again, the same spot, what I meant was the right wing for Liverpool and left back for Malaysia. Dirk Kuyt run and score the goal.
Okay, enough with the Liverpool easy goals, lets talk about the awesomeness Malaysian goals.
1st goal: My pray granted!!! after trailing a goal by that penalty, I see Malaysian side are not affected which is a good sign. Then, When our captain try to score from outside the penalty box, the scorer, Charlie Adam saves it like he is the goal keeper. Then, after considering the distance from the goal post, I'm pretty sure our captain can score it since I know he is Malaysia's free kick expert. Remember the previous entry? Did you see how well he did that? And that is not just luck. So I pray, "O Allah, please let the ball straight went in". Indeed it is!!! the ball curling so lovely to be reached by Liverpool's keeper I don't know his name because he is not the main keeper.
2nd goal: I thought the players moral should be down after trailing 4 to 1, but Safee Sali replacing Izzaq Faris to be the striker. And he really shows us why he is the best striker in Malaysia or even maybe in South East Asia. He scored two goals in just a few minutes. His second goals look like offside but, DO I CARE!!! I'm bias and I don't care whether it offside or not. The first penalty is also debatable. So we're even.
As a conclusion, I'm really happy with attacking force, the build up, the return of Safee Sali, he's not scoring since last December at final AFF. But the result is not just shows us that we really worried about the defensive line, but also it shows us we are by far relying only on Safee Sali. We don't have a sharp striker in front of the goal. We have striker with good move but lacking on the finishing touch. Please, Malaysian strikers, please improve yourselves so we can be a big name in the world someday. And to the defenders, please learn and try to keep up the learning process fast. I notice the younger squad from our region starting to be good. Learn more and fast. I end this entry by wishing our Olympic squad will bring more fight against the Chelsea side this 21st July so that Japan, Bahrain and Syria will shake their knee.
