Chelsea vs Malaysia, 21st July 2011

 It was a great match between Arsenal vs Malaysia (0-4) and Liverpool vs Malaysia (6-3) for the past week. Two giant football club from English Premier League came to Malaysia for their Asia Tour 2011. Chelsea joining the others as the third football club coming to Malaysia for their Asia Tour 2011.

Tonight is football match between Chelsea Football Club & Malaysia. It is a game that I really want to watch live at Bukit Jalil Stadium, KL but then due to work and distances between Sabah & Kuala Lumpur. I had to let go of this ultimate game and watch it live at home. Honestly, I am not a football fan but I do love to support team that I like the most, Chelsea. But, tonight I make it an exemption to watch football than any other tv programme at home. It is all because I want to support both team, Chelsea and Malaysia.Hope that both team can secure great score for tonight match.

It is not the first time Chelsea have played in the Bukit Jalil Stadium, three years ago, Luiz Felipe Scolari's side beat a Malaysia XI 2-0 with goals from Nicolas Anelka and Ashley Cole. Nevertheless, surely Malaysia team will take this opportunity of this match to enhance their skills and gather more experience playing with big name like Chelsea.

Didier Drogba (1) at 79 mins

Controversial goal by Drogba. I even see it myself that the ball does not pass the line yet. I felt a bit frustrated with that goal..Anyway..kudos to both team for the great match. I salute more to Malaysia team as they played very well against Chelsea. Surely Villa Boas and his team didn't expect that Malaysia can give them such a hard time during the match... I still love you Chelsea ...  :)

Hip Hip Horaay for Harimau Malaya!!!
