Arsenal Asia Tour 2012




Arsenal came to Malaysia for the second time in a row. Went with my sisters this time. My father managed to get us 3 RM68 tickets. The best seats in the stadium is still RM108, the one I sat at last year. RM68 is too high. Good place to observe the game but not a good place if you want to look at players. Malaysia performed a lot better compared to last year. A lot more shots on target. Arsenal was only average. I think this is due to the lack of first team players. Last year almost the whole team is from the starting 11 squad and first team squad. This year, about half of them are from reserves. Even the stadium is only half full this time. Can see the difference in quality. Nevertheless, it was a great match. Final score was Malaysia 1 - Arsenal 2 in which Arsenal scored in the last 5 minutes while Malaysia's goal was a fantastic long range shot before half time. I am still waiting for the day where I can see them play at the Emirates. Last year's post can be found here.
