His players are feeling the difference and say they will benefit in the long term. Aslam Shah reports.

Congratulations 🎉Singapore. The match with China you deserved it. You must be hungry and shut off negative and toxic comments. The toxic might not even come from locals.
Mr coach please don’t wear like after match. You are going Batam or JB.
At least Singapore is coached by someone from East Asian Region. My country's (India) federation thinks Europeans have some magic formula while forgetting Indians can do the same bad job as the current coach from Croatia. Our SAFF region is dog** in football which further adds to the woes.
Come on guys! I believe in yall. The lions
Lions gone case
Bismillah in conjunction with the month of Ramadan, I want Singapore to win this game 🇸🇬 majulah Singapura
Same players different coach , lets see the outcome!
will there be a kung fu football with China ?
Give 6 points to China, don't waste everybody time la! (2matches)
imagine big countries such as china lose to tiny island singapore.
Give up la
Unless there’s more Chinese playing, Singapore football can’t get far.
How to? I always feel our lions lack stamina, cannot last one full match.
If China team is patient, they will win the game in the 2nd half 😂
Good luck and best wishes SG Football Team.
We all can dream, but we must face reality
1:38 Wait, So before this how have you guys been training? No wonder the performance are always crap! Let see how the lions will perform this time.
Chinese players aren't that much better in terms of skill and tactics than Singapore.
Looking at Singapore's past year's performance where they were trounced by Malaysia 7-0 in the Sea Games on 11 May 2023, and similarly trounced again by South Korea 5-0 on 16 Nov 2023 during the World Cup Qualifiers for Asia, Singapore would be doing well not to be whitewashed by China and avoiding another zero.
Talk is cheap coach.
Let's see how it'll play out tomorrow.
Japanese playing with Singapore puppets against China. How history repeats itself.
You can’t even play football under the void deck anymore.Street soccer courts are limited to been seen.Even some courts you need to book and pay.How?
Ping Pong Olumpics proved effective. Best to replace whole team with new citizens of eg. china with potential for greatness. This is the most efficient way of governancr. To keep them on their toes, there should be punishment if they dont win. If they win, free B&W bungalow stays for certain period of time
Coming match with china…
SIN 0 : 9 CHN 😊
when the captain of the team has to sell property as a full time job you know things are bad
Don't day dream lah. China beat Thailand 2-1 in Bangkok. U can't even beat Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. Cambodia recently naturalize some foreign players. I think u can't even beat Cambodia now
Let's see….
You kinda suck if you could lose to China
If lose by 2-0 consider a win. CMI don't waste time
As long as they keep fighting till the final whistle with professionalism, passion, drive and having good sportsmanship, I am sure Singaporeans would be happy and Singapore would be proud of them!
Revamp the whole team!!!!!
Please find a better football striker for Singapore. We miss the old ones 🙁
Dreams turned into nightmares with MBT's Vision 2010 !
Sg should give up all sports.. dun bring disgrace
Singapore players with no quality no matter how hard they train will still be the same lousy 👎
It doesn't matter who the new football coach is. The Singapore 🇸🇬 team will be forever mediocre.
The team has too many Chinese who can't even run.
In Singapore, the widespread habit of sending children to tutoring classes after school creates a significant hurdle for nurturing football talent. This deeply rooted tradition presents a tough challenge: How can Singapore overcome this barrier and propel its national soccer team toward qualifying for the World Cup?
good luck my neighbour singapore from malaysia
The singapore footballers only skilful in playing DIY every day, so how the pap party want them to play leg job like football ??
“In that respect, it is understandable that the narrative for the project is shifting.”
Scepticism of the project prevails online as netizens think it is too lofty a goal and that Singapore should start by aiming a little lower and qualify for regional sporting events first, such as the SEA Games.
“Unfortunately, having a target like Goal 2034 which steers the public to think that we will actually make it to the World Cup may be detrimental to the sport when it fails to get anywhere close,” he explained.
