00:00Malaysia was the highest-ranked South Asian team in 56, so tanya kepada under-15 team.
00:08It's no surprise there because we've always done well until that age group.
00:1216, 17, something completely goes wrong.
00:16Yes, they stopped growing.
00:19Correct, but this also for me is a story because if they don't succeed,
00:24you'll never have, no, if they succeeded, we would never have Safi Sali.
00:28Because Safi Sali walked in at 19, and then became Safi Sali.
00:33Different people, they...
00:34So if anybody comes in, anybody comes in has to figure out that 16 to 18 jump,
00:44something is going wrong there for us.
00:46It's just a system.
00:47But bagi saya dengan pertumbuhan akademi yang banyak sekarang, it's a good sign.
00:54At least bila ada 56 tangga sekarang,
00:58bila ramai ada akademi, bila ramai ada pemain,
01:02so at least ramai yang boleh...
01:04So kita kena tukar sistem jurulatih ataupun scout.
01:09Scouting system kita bukan kata tak bagus, tapi mungkin tak cukup orang yang...
01:15Sebab kalau kita bandingkan dengan, if you like, compare to England,
01:20because England has a very good scouting system.
01:23They always have enough scouts to tell.
01:26Maybe scouting for the kids yang 15 sampai 19,
01:30Yes.
01:31It's the most important.
01:32So it's really important to have that.
01:34It's not scouting that's 19 years to the top of the league.
01:38Yes.
01:38Correct.
01:39That's why I get upset when you hear all these people say,
01:41oh, we have to address grassroot, address grassroot.
01:43I'm like, no, there is talent there.
01:45It is coming through.
01:46It's that little jump from that 16 to 18,
01:49when you have to turn professional,
01:50is where we are losing a lot of players,
01:53oh, they're not making that jump.
01:54Someone needs to figure out how to fix that,
01:57and fix that quickly.
01:58Or to keep the clubs alive.
