Seven nations in world of field hockey are in Ipoh for the 17th Sultan Azlan Shah Cup. Countries such as the host, Malaysia, Pakistan, India, Argentina, Belgium, Canada and New Zealand competing to become the champions after Australia grabbed the crown in the previous edition.
We are seeded number 15 in the world. The first match against Pakistan saw Malaysia gave a tough game against the opponent. Our player scored the first goal but the former world and Olympic champion came from behind and emerged as the winner. Our young players have the speed but they were lack of ideas in penetrating the opponent's D area. This was happened again when the host nation played against the mighty Argentinian where we were thrashed 5-0 by the 7th seeded nation.
The consolation 3 points for Malaysia so far was grabbed when we won against the New Zealand. There are 3 more matches left for Malaysia to bounce back. A win against Canada, Begium and India will give the smile faces for the fans who wholeheartedly support the team and left all their normal routine to come to the stadium. Malaysia Boleh.
