Kuala Lumpur, 30th July 2012:
Hope to see the tigers defeat Manchester City were disappointed when Malaysian
squad lost 1-3 to the City at the Stadium Bukit Jalil last night.
The national
team failed to exhibit the same game when they lost narrowly 1-2 to Arsenal on
Tuesday but only emerged in the last five minutes remaining to close the gap
behind three goals.
The nephew of
Datuk K. Rajagopal should know the City’s squad had more advantage in term of
physical and strategy when the City’s superstar Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez and
Adam Johnson made a name as a goalscorer in the first half.
The attempt by
Aguero in the 18th minute mark, managed to deceive four defense led
by Farizal Marlias when Arguero performed a solo effort up to the penalty box
before pushing the ball into the goal.
Three minutes
after the break, the City added another goal by Argentina striker, Carlos Tevez
in the 47th minute, followed by Johnson's third goal at 51st
minute.
Nik Farok which
is a big fan of Manchester City said tigers couldn’t defeat the English Premier
League champions and criticized the Malaysian squad, whereby tigers only get
back intensively after the 1st goal from Azamuddin Mohd. Akil in the 87th
minute.
“I expected that Manchester City can beat Malaysia 4-0 but luckily
tigers can score one goal in the 2nd half.
“Tigers only get the spirit after their first goal in the 87th
minute and sadly, this always happened in any competition or game in Malaysian
soccer.”
