As I was talking to my buddy the other day, "IF" I was the FAM President. The first rule of order is to ban all football international broadcast coverage. No more EPL, Bundesliga, Spanish or what so ever. I remember back in the 90's we had less coverage of The Premier League and we only had to focus on local football. I had no choice but to start loving football through Malaysia.
I remembered all the legendary superstars back in the days like Hashim Mustafa, K.Sambagamaran, Yap Wai Loon, Radhi Mat Din. Those were some of the players from Semi-Pro 93. I remember it so well because of this sticker book I use to have, and that time mana ada preview show, highlights of the day, predictions talks like how EPL is being widely covered on the television at the moment, it was only that sticker book my source of football knowledge.
Without international football, maybe we can start paying more attention to local football, finally we'll start going to stadiums on the weekend and support the team financially. Buying original merchandise like how Man United said they sold Zlatan's jersey to help pay for Pogba's transfers fee 😂. Astro is focusing on EPL because that's where the market is, of course they have better quality gameplay and more exciting features. Don't you think we are capable to create that atmosphere ? We can change our local football to be better if we work together. I don't want to grow old and tell my kids I support Chelsea and dunno what team I support in Malaysia.
