This is the first time the Malaysian hockey team have failed to win the bronze medal playoff since 1986. And they had two years of training and not the 35 days the coach claims. So those who blindly shower praises must also state facts like Pakistan have not played in any international tournament since November 2013 whereas we played in the Azlan Shah Cup, Champions Challenge 1. World Cup, Commonwealth Games. So let's not go overboard as we did not meet target, simple. Two months from now no one will remember how we played, that's why we still talk of 1975 and the 4th placing and 1998 and the silver medal.
