Malaysia and Chelsea meet again. 29th July 2008 marks the historical date where the Blues beat up Malaysian Squad by 2 goal to nil. It was 7.45pm, me and my cousins are waiting outside Shah Alam Stadium. We can hear the crowd roaring inside the stadium. The atmosphere was very tempting. The moment i got into the stadium, it's already 8 minutes past the kick-off time. Damn we're late.
1st half of the game was quite a one side show. As predicted, Chelsea dominated the entire 1st half show. The 1st goal for Chelsea was from Nicholas Anelka. The goal actually could be avoided, but luck do came in for Anelka.
2nd half promises something great from the Malaysian squad. I can see improvement in Malaysian attacking and defense. But the outcome is just the same as the 1st half. But this time, Ashley Cole managed to put his name on the scoresheet. Malaysia squad seems to nearly put a goal back but only to see Zaquan wasted the chances. Cudicini, who replaced Petr Cech in 2nd half made a blunder by passing straight to Malaysia's striker..but yet another chance goes to waste. Now i can see why Chelsea wants to sold Cudicini. Hehe!
Overall i would say it's a one sided match with Chelsea dominating. But still we have to give credit to Malaysian players. They fought hard and they fought good. 2-0..well..it's a good result. I can see the potential in Malaysian Squad. The potential of becoming one of the strongest competitor in South East Asia. It's just need the right tonic. The end.
