Asia vs Europe

Finally we're back from KL for the much waited friendly match featuring the Malaysian team against the 'Scandinavian All Star Team" It was a much tiring but a great experience in both matches.

On the first day, the Malaysian National team played the Scandinavians with a 'almost full team'. Missing 3 players from Penang who only reached that night. It was quite an easy win for the Scandinavians as they beat Malaysia 9 goals to 3 with a superb 3 period slap shot by their 'star' Finland's Jenni Morottaja. Besides that, our national goalie Linken did superb with many good saves to keep the score lower than a nightmare.

On the second day, the national team was playing with full strength and this time it was a hard fought game with Malaysia roaring in the 3rd period. At the end of the final whistle, it was Scandinavian All Star (9-6) Malaysia. After that, we had a penalty shootout where Malaysia won 3-1. Malaysia's game play surely improved in the 2nd game. The movement was better the passing was better. Yet we never know if we really played better or the Scandinavians were still high on alcohol as they went partied the previous night at 'Luna Bar'.

As for behind the scene actions, it was a great bonding for the national players as half of them stayed together. Many targets must still be achieve before we we consider going to Korea in 2009. One of the target of bonding session is to be able to dare have "Fat-er-Pipe-Shower-Party". Besides that, its all serious and hard work for the Malaysians as they again plan for their 2009 campaign.

As for the 3 Ztec players, they all did pretty well in the friendly with Jo Wyee grabbing a hat-trick in the 2nd match, TerMin getting a double and Oliver making a history for himself. If u want to know what is the history Oliver made, ask anybody who went down to KL. Expecially Jason Selva and Linken. They can tell u best.



Hurray!!
