The Twins set to roar again

For Aidil Zafuan Radzak , the recall of his twin Brother  Zaquan Adha Radzak into the national team is the best piece of news for him.

The twins last played together for the national team in 2012 and Aidil is happy that his twin is alongside him as the national team is on the path of redemption in the international scene.

" I am so happy for him as all his hard work has paid dividends," said Aidil when contacted in Fiji where the national team will play the hosts on Sunday.

" With Zaquan on the pitch I feel so comfortable and we know each other's gave so well."

The Negri Sembilan born twins first donned national Colours when they were members of the U20 team that emerged runners-up at the AFF Under 20 tournament in Palembang, Indonesia.

However Zaquan is a doubtful starter for Hye match against Fiji having suffered a hair line fracture on his wrist during the match against New Caledonia on Wednesday which Malaysia won 2-1.  

Aidil said that the current national team is shaping up well and he is happy with the progress shown.

" When we lost the match against Papua New Guinea I could see the players were very disappointed," said the skipper.

" They aimed to prove their critics wrong and did just that as they gave it their all against New Caledonia.

" Out last game against Fiji will be another tough encounter but we are in the right spirit.

" We aim to win this one and the players have assured me that they will deliver a positive result before we break camp and head back home."

Aidil said that the national team has received its fair share of brick bats over the years for its inconsistent performance.

" We are on the right track here and one significant change I see is the close co-operation between the players and the coaching staff," said Aidil.

" Give us some time and I assure the fans that we will make them proud."
