I can't hide my disappointment with the return of Malaysia's favourite son, Nazmi Faiz Mansur to our local Super League. Playing football professionaly in Europe is a dream for every footballer in this world and Nazmi managed to do that for a short period of 6 months, at least.

I won't be commenting further on this as I don't know the real reason behind his shock departure from Beira Marr. However, it is considered a massive blow to our younger generation of footballers, who has started idolised Nazmi as their new hero. Every generation need their own hero for a source of inspiration. Hidetoshi Nakata was Japan's biggest export in the late 90′s. He was among the first generations of successfull Japanese players who plied their trade in europe.

But Nazmi's return has been judged with unfair perception by the public. Malaysian footballers are rich with history of failed mission in foreign land. And Nazmi is now considered as the latest casualty from the long list of 'ínability to live and compete in a different environment'. It may sound very cruel, but we have no other choice than learn to accept it.

As a fan, i need to remind myself and others, that the real issue right now is not all about Nazmi Faiz. We have a bigger duty that needs to be addressed, and needs to be supported. Our senior team, Aka Harimau Malaya will open its Asian Cup qualifier campaign this Wednesday against the group favourites Qatar. Are we prepared for it?

I may not be a fan of Datuk K Rajagobal's tactics, but in this situation, I have to support the team to do well and get at least a point from this game. However, there is a feel good factor about this team. The team consists of MSL top scorer in Fauzi Roslan and Amri Yahyah, a new playmaker in Shakir Shaari, the return of on form Kelantan forward Nurfarhan Muhamad as well as left full back in Asrarudin Putra Omar. The stability of the team is certainly in great shape.

We may have lost to Iraq the other day and some said the team were unable to give a decent fight, even not trying hard enough to get a consolation goal. But I believe they will bounce back and give the home side 'á battle worth to be remembered'.

This is the time for our boys to give their all, this should be should be approached as a cup final, this is the chance to redeem our failure in AFF cup, and this will be the true indicator for our Super League quality.

I demand total commitment from the players, to raise for the occasion and give the home side a fight they will never forget. We have nothing to loose as we are not in line for hosting the world cup, we are not under presure because we are clearly the underdog. I demand a true Tiger heart from each of you, my fellow Malaysians! Play for your flag and bring home that point.
