Boss: Shawn proved his worth

Last season Shawn was criticised heavily for his poor performance. But during last quarter final match, the Botswanian International tormented his former club and proved just why DeTTol shelled out so much effort to secure his service.

Against Mantis FC, the 21-year-old dazzled in DeTTol's win, with Shea describing his performance as "fantastic".

"I don't think he gave the ball away once, throughout the entire game," the boss told MMU.TV. "I thought he was our best player in the first half before he was substituted in the second half.

"He produces moments that make you sit back and say: 'that's world class'. The pass he receive from Noxs and Luqman in the first half and the finishing move was unbelievable."

Reflecting on the miss penalties by Reza and Noxs, the boss mention that "Look, they missed a penalty kick," Shea said. "Many players have done that. Even top players missed one as well and it’s all forgotten about.

"I know it was a bad penalty kick, I'm not making excuses for it. But we have to move on. It’s only a missed penalty.

"They produced some fantastic football last week but didn’t get the credit because of the penalty miss.Noxs even had change the direction of the game with the equalizer goal during the 1st half"

Players need encouragement more than anything... Everyone do mistake, even the super star from EPL or other major league do mistake too. Play for ur team is kind of pleasure, but i dun wan to covert it to pressure... Sometime, i felt pity on Syahir as he is always be the victim of scolding.. But, i m sure the commitment of syahir on team Dettol is always above anyone if not highest.. Everyone will try to perform his best on every match, cause no one wan to be the scapegoat of the game and no one wan to be laughed by the spectator at the side of the pitch.. So, give everyone time to recover from their error, try to help them if u are nearby, no trying to scold them and stand still.. it will a joke for the spectator nearby and also demoralise the team, lower down the team confident, as well as boosting the opponent confident..
So, amir look back at urself.. i m not here to offend u, but to remind u..I said because i concern about this team... when u do mistake.. u miss a penalty.. Does anyone from the team, scold u? shout loudly at you? no.. right? This is wat happen in a team.. We win as a team, we lose as a team.. no one will be "hero" if no support from the rest of the team, n no one shud be blame, if defeated..

Cheers for fellow "Dettol-ERs"
Regards,
Song Wei
