Pakistan’s young guns put in a brave performance against the Thailand U-21’s but failed to register a result in their first game of their fortnight long Thai tour.
From what FPDC’s International Correspondent learned through sources in Thailand, the team played well with Vice Captain Rizwan Asif putting in a man of the match performance.
The Thai team scored twice in the first half as Amir Gul kept goal for the Green Shirts in the opening 45 minutes.
After the interval Coach Tariq Lutfi brought on Internationally based Yousuf Butt having brought on Irfan Khan at 41′ with both impressing much. Irfan Khan played aggressively and broke down the Thai mid-field’s passing game. The Bradford Star helped in Jadeed Khan’s goal which gave Pakistan a chance to get something out of the game. Jadeed’s finish was an accurate shot beating the Thai number 1 all square on his goal-line.
Attacking Mid-Fielder Rizwan Asif made some impressive runs throughout the game and was instrumental in creating opportunities for Pakistan.
Yousuf Butt kept a second half clean sheet, not letting any shot go past him into the Pakistan net and organized the defence brilliantly and gave them confidence and cues from the back.
All in all the result is really positive considering the Asian Games team lost to Thailand 6-0. But still all that matters really is the result and Mr. Lutfi and the boys will need to master a turn around in fortunes so that their target of defeating Malaysia in Olympic Qualifying is realized. The Pakistani team plays two more friendlies in Thailand before heading off to Kuala Lampur.

In the Next Match Irfan Khan and Yousuf Butt should be given starts. In order to control the game from the start. Pakistan Zindabad!
Guess what boys.? If u guys read my previous posts. i told you two guys who have potential to go on top is Rizwan and M.Ahmad .. and look M.rizwan Asif of Shakargarh has proved it once again.
And guess what Irfan helped in pakistan first goal after a long time.
I think this time we should think positive about our game..

@gauher: definetly great work and i really appreciate it..
I know how hard it is to find out these things from those who dont know how to talk and where they have to shut their ass***
But in short thanks for even providing this news..
Great work lads…keep up the hard work
My only fear is that we have only AATE MEIN NAMAK of good players and we cant afford any injury at this stage
Good Work Gauhar ….6-0 and now 2-1 . I think Man U former Robson was not coach.
Btw i lyk the formation of last four and if they want to do well in this series then they should stick wid it..
LB Ihsanullah- CB manzoor CB Alamgeer RB Faisal.
this combination gonna work for tariq.. Mind it .. Irfan can be top source in beating midfield of Malaysia and Rizwan and Jadeed upfront… top top team .. and let kaleem do his work .. lolx
and yousaf at back ..
I loved this formation
Can some one pass my message to tariq lutfi that this team goona do miracle in MALAYSIA..
you seem more optimistic than me……………!!!!!!!!!!!
great reslut……………nd thanks FPDC
nice result
was this match recorded?
the no 19 looks like uae player and not thailands player?????????
It is an old picture from the Asian Games match against Oman.
Dar: its about our love for this game :)
Positive Results. At least Pakistan Score this time. Pakistan must learn from North Korea how they utilize their limited resources. Just Fight for Possession in midfield make life difficult for opposition and score at breaks. Best Of Luck and i wish that in Coming AFC Challenge Cup group Pakistan can utilize at least 5-6 foreign based Players.
Defence : Zesh Rehman, Atif Bashir, Shabbir Khan
Mid : Adnan ahamed, Irfan Khan
Forward : Ries Ashraf
Best Of Luck Men in Green
Problem is, Shabir Khan badly injured himself in September and needed operation on his knees to repair the damage caused. He will only be fit for World Cup qualifiers.
congrats everyone.. iv been called up by Pakistan national team..yahooooo… going Thailand tomorrow….yesssss….

Poor by Ahsanullah for the first goal. He got caught ball watching. Should have been keeping track of his man. Poor on both goals by Manzoor. He should not have allowed the cross for the first goal and should have marked better for the second goal. But still, these goals are not as horrible and the defending was not as atrocious as the goals we have seen scored against Pakistan for the past few years. They should focus now on defending crosses and better marking.
Poor keeping by Amir. He could have done better on the first goal, and there was absolutely no reason for him to come off his line for the second goal. He could easily have saved the second goal if he stayed on his line.
Good fight and pass back by Rizwan. Tariq Lutfi has done well to play him on the wing. Good finish by Jadeed.
I would like to see a more attacking formation and strategy though. There should not be any reason for Jadeed Khan, who was playing LW, to be in the middle of the penalty area, as he was for the first goal against us. That shows that the strategy was too defensive.
sidd
jadeed finish!
its easy to move forward even if you are tired and very difficult for a tired player to fall back to 18 yards.
modren football is all about counter attacking combination.
i think tariq lutfi made a god decision to play him as left wing midfield
actually pakistan is playing 1-4-5-1
Thanks for the Video Sidd….
your comment is on all the papers today sid :D
Yeah, I saw something very similar on the Dawn website.
and on pakistan today :D can you e mail me your phone number? gauhar at football…
Thanks Sid for the link. Great finish by jadeed. Genuine goal. Whereas goals we conceded were our faults. Second goal purely Amir’s fault. Yousaf did a good save.
Sid u remember rizwan’s game against Oman? I criticized him much on his selfish tries on goal. I met personally with him on departure date and specially mentioned about my reservations and tried to motivate him for a teamwork game. He is strong, has good sprint and good ball control. Certainly he can do wonder for Paksitan team.
Congratulation Gauhar, Sidd for superb work. Hope you will do same for Malaysia match.
Although we have lost the match but I think that it was the best performance from the imported players in our history as we did not get great help from imported players in the past and they failed to adjust as these two. Best of luck for next matches
Great work by irfan Khan by creating this opportunity for Jadeed to strike right into the post & a great finish by Jadeed as well……… great team work.
Not to 4get Yousuf Butt’s efforts in not conceding any goals. He is a good goalkeeper.
Great result & this team needs to go on. the same team needs to play a few more matches & then they will be definitely on fire.
Best of Luck Team Pakistan!!!!!
Very sorry but poor goal keepring by Amer Gul and yousaf is looking 100 times better then him on pitch look at the quick responce of the guy..
If you closely see the vedio then you will find .. Amre gul cant stand up after diving but yousaf is back with in a second on his feet.
thats the quality of a good goal keeper that he never admits that this was final save..
I have seen matches and i can tell this easily that he is way better ..he can become first goalie for pakistan.
without a shadow of a doubt
good work gauhar bhai
