Wow nobody updated.
MNL 2010 season started. First round of games ended.
Zeyar Shwe Myay FC got a 3-0 away win against champions Yadanarbon. With Swedish Alexander, Korean Kim Kyu Jun and Burmese Kyaw Zin Win scoring.
Two Koreans from K-League team Incheon United (5th in K-League 2009) are in Zeyar Shwe Myay FC. I'm sorry I'm a little lazy to get all these names in detail. It takes a lot of diggings to do so. No matter they were or were not used at Incheon or bench warmers, they should still be pretty good. Korean football has great depth.
Meanwhile PN Sivaji's Okkthar United got a 1-0 away win over new club Manaw Myay FC.
The big match of the round is Kanbawza vs Yangon United and former Selangor coach Ken Worden, currently Southern Myanmar FC's coach, has full of praise for Kanbawza FC after watching the latter's 0-0 home draw against Yangon Utd.
Brief translation from his press conference on soccermyanmar.com, translated by my friend.
"I've watched Kanbawza vs Yangon Utd. Although Kanbawza does not have any foreign players, the way they played was very impressive. It was like watching Real Madrid for a second or two. The change in their management and coaching departments improved them a lot and I'm happy for them. If every team in MNL could produce the form that Kanbawza did against Yangon, Myanmar football would improve greatly. My Southern Myanmar FC team tried to reach their standards but it'd be a while before we get there. But we played a good game.
Our training ground is not structured well so we couldn't practice our football effectively. And my foreign players have not gel, but getting a win before the team find their form is a good start indeed."
