Growing Italian influence in Malaysian football

It was one of the happiest day in my life. Finaly i had the chance to meet face to face with a group of people who have same believe as me. A unique sporting culture from Italy is making its presence here in Malaysia. The number is growing positively, and i am very proud to be part of it.

I believe for Malaysia to be successfull in football, we must keep our option wide open. learning is a continous process, we must not heavily relying too much on traditionaly British based football, be it at management level, commercialy, coaching method and also youth development.

A successfull business model for a new looked Juventus Football Club by the Agnelli family impressed me soo much. The new Stadium, Club Museum, Club megastore and how the club attached with the Turin community has transformed the old Lady from a traditionaly run Italian club into a global brand.

Not to forget the winning mentality of the Italians. This is what Malaysian Lacking so much. And this is the area where we as a supporters, have a role to play. To promote discipline and great ressilience mentality among supporters and players in general. To achieve this, we need to learn something from the Italian way.

And finaly the Agnelli's transformation impact reached Malaysia few years ago. Yesterday, me and the Juventus Fan Club Malaysia were invited to a local football talkshow 'Kaki Bola'. It was also my debut on TV.



A quick snap shot with host Kieran after the show. He and co host Aidid were very friendly toward us during the entire one hour show.

Learn the langguage, learn the sporting mentality, learn the Italian Football.
