Manchester Utd Malaysia Tour 2009
YES!! Man Utd is in TOWN!!
YES!! I was there to witness the match between Man U and Malaysia Selection.
NO!! I am not a fan of Man U, I am still a loyal Liverpool fan!
But thanks to Victor Kee, I was able to watch a football match live in a stadium. Victor gave me the ticket for my birthday! It was a birthday present!! Thank you so much Victor!!! You rockzzzz!!
Well, at first I did thought of wearing Liverpool jersey to watch this match, but decided not to, for 'safety' reasons. So, I wore red tshirt as my red jerseys were all Liverpool jerseys. Malaysians were really enthusiast about this match as almost the entire of SriPetaling and Bukit Jalil were flooded with the color, RED!
It was a great match. Not because of goal fiesta... not because Christiano Ronaldo is not there anymore... but Malaysia gave ManUtd a big scare, almost snatching a draw... in the end, the final score was ManUtd 3- Malaysia 2.
New signing Micheal Owen saved MU from blushes with a late goal. Brave Malaysia really played and fought well... it was a worth it match!
The Malaysian fans kept chanting a couple of ManUtd players, Wayne Rooney was the most popular one, Marcheda was another, Ryan Giggs .... and last but not least, fans were shouting for his name when the halftime began, calling out for his action, cheered him whereever he was... Michael OWEN!
Let the pictures do the rest of the talkin.....
Die hard Man U fan, Victor Kee!
The crowds!
Another die-hard ManUtd fan, Caryn Liew
Malaysian Team warm-up session
Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand during warm-up
Rest of the team - Ryan Giggs, Dimitar Berbatov, Wes Brown...
Rooney, Berbatov, Scholes, O'Shea....
Alex Ferguson's fan and banner!
Starting lineup for ManUtd. Nearly a full first team lineup!
Friendly greetings between ManUtd and hometeam!
And the match begins.....
Early warning to ManUtd players... the Malaysia team is not intimidated!
Berbatov missing a header towards goal
Indra Putra in action!
GOAAALL!!! Scored by Wayne Rooney!
Caused by some nervous defending by the team in blue!
Nani - tryin to dribble pass the Malaysian players
No. 17, Amri Yahya - the 2 goals hero of Malaysia.
Paul Scholes had a long shot attempt
Nani and Rooney giving the Malaysian goalkeeper a kung-fu kick each!
Really did some damage on the brave Malaysian keeper.
A precise through ball pass by Rooney (left) to Nani (No. 17) leading to....
.... ManUtd 2nd goal!
2-0 after 27mins...
Thought that there might be a goal fiesta on the way.....
Nani attemptin an overhead kick..
...but the ball was no where near him!
Minutes later, nearly 100,000 Malaysian fans stood up and celebrated a superbly strucked goal by Amry Yahya in the injury time of the first half. (Didnt expect a goal..it was too quick, couldnt snap a shot!).. ManUtd were shocked, fans were shocked..but no doubt celebrated the goal as if Malaysia had won the World Cup!! The goal was strucked with a venom by Amry Yahya, using the outside of his boots and curled it passed Van der Sar.
Tht goal really shocked ManUtd's goalkeeper, Edwin Van der Sar.
Malaysia celebrated the GOAL!!!
.....and the referee blew half-time...
...... and our time to camwhore begins!!!
