Chelsea vs Malaysian XI





i went to the Shah Alam stadium on the 29th July, to watch chelsea vs Malaysia XI.

Not being a supporter of chelsea, i was undecided initially, whether to go or not. but then again, they (premiership team) dont come that often, so might as well just go. Lagipon, the stadium is very near to my house. so i went la to Sunway pyramid to buy the ticket. i was about the buy the RM33 ones but in the end decided to buy the RM53 ones. i dont like the view from behind the goal posts since ive watched three times from there!! (stadium Bukit Jalil - Man U v Malaysian XI , Anfield stadium - Liverpool v Chelsea , & Nou Camp - Barca v Atletico Madrid)

the match was a bit disappointed on chelsea behalf. they dont play really well. in fact, Malaysia were the better side at some stage of the game. Malaysia came close on couple of occasions to score, but the players shot wide. anelka and ashley cole scored for chelsea. match ended 2-0.

Amirul Hadi played really well so as Hardy Jaafar and keeper Helmi Eliza.
Deco was a revelation for chelsea, with his accurate passing n playmaking. im disappointed in Lampard. i was hoping he would score from his trademark long shot.

but all in all, it was kinda ok ok la..

+ the atmosphere was amazing! i shouted like mad until me lungs collapsed!
+ full-spirited performance by Malaysian side


- post-match traffic jam (i spent 30minutes in the car trying to get out of stadium area!)
- fruitless attempt to buy food at half time (queue was ridiculous, if there was any! damn..)
- half-hearted performance by Chelsea
