FC Barcelona visit to Malaysia: Get more from them

I don't care if Leo Messi couldn't make it this coming August. I don't care if the Catalan side will only sent their second team for this exhibition game.

But my greatest concern is, why FAM didn't take this opportunity to establish a warm relationship with them for the sake of football development? I heard that only our Futsal team will engage with the spanish giant in term of long term development in that sport.

How about our football? Do FAM aware that currently FCB probably have one of the best football academy in the world? I am talking about La Masia, yes indeed.

Can FAM take some pro active initiative, by establish a pre MOU for instance? I suggest our best student in SSBJ to be send to La Masia, to pursue his study and skill enhancement in football.

Provide our boys with Spanish classes, physical training, motivational aspects and etc.
This time, we need to change our vision a bit. Sent out our boys to one of the best 'Úniversity' in the world, for learning and exposure purposes only. Don't have to give an unnecessary preasure to them by pushing for a profesional contract.

If one of our best player in SSBJ could complete a one year training stint with the La Masia, i believe he will be returning home to Malaysia as a much improved player, technically at least.

Its ok to have FCB playing on our turf this coming august. We always welcome them, as far as football is concern. But i wish our Football authority to work beyond that. Think something that can give long term benefit to our local football. A win win relationship between FAM and FCB. This time from educational aspects.

Opportunity must be created, it won't happen if we just sit and wait for others to make it for you. They will come to our door, greet them with open arm, establish a new warm relationship and learn from them. If FAM couldn't see this as an opportunity, then i would say they are becoming more irrelevant for our football.

If there is a will, there will be always a way to make it happen.
