Four players waded decade international football. Three of them so shiny name in Southeast Asia, one more name tends to dim.
Who does not know Daniel Bennett, veteran Singapore, Indonesia and the dynamic duo, Elie Aiboy plus Bambang Pamungkas?
All three had been acting in the AFF Cup-Tiger Cup first-since 2002. Bennett, Elie, and Bambang has now entered the age of the head of the three.
One more name instead fallen almost dim. Same with the third star before, Visay Phaphouvanin take part in this tournament since ten years ago. And, now, he just turned 27 years old.
"I'm
the oldest in the squad. I participated in six tournaments, and I
served as a captain, so I feel obliged to lead the team," said Visay
that launched the official website AFF Cup, Tuesday (11/27/2012).
His name started sticking when the tournament debuted in 2002. When
he was only 17 years old, scored all the goals Visay Laos, each one on
goal Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia in the AFF 2002. He also demonstrated the stability of its performance in 2007, 2008, and 2012.
"AFF
Cup two years ago in Indonesia, we have a lot of experienced coaches.
This time, we played with a dominant young players and even some of
their new participating now," said Visay.
However, the appearance of Laos so startling in its inaugural game. Had a 2-1 lead, Laos eventually had to settle for sharing the numbers 2-2 after Vendry Mofu equalized in the last minute.
"We
follow what is planned to coach and every player did their best. We
have no superstars on the team, so teamwork is essential," said Visay.
He said the current system of exercises Laos is slightly different than before, since dinakhodai coach Japan, Kokichi Kimura.
"Perhaps now better than ever we live," said Visay.
Combined young and inexperienced players just so secret weapon Laos.
"Some
of the players are young, but have not had any experience in this
tournament, have competed in the UEFA Thailand and learned a lot.
Experiences that they share with other colleagues," said Visay.
"We're
very confident right now. Maybe we were unlucky failed to beat
Indonesia, Sunday, but the result is very satisfying," he said.
