Reinventing the Sarawak football team

KUCHING: The three Ps — profitability, profes-sionalism and passion — are key to uplift the standard of football in Sarawak.

Without these pillars, the game in the state will not improve much.

Ending another season on a low note, the Crocs have been getting a lot of flak for lacking dedication, team spirit and technical competence in their Premier League campaign.

But the finger should not be pointed solely at the team as the whole system is equally to blame, if not more.

Absence of the three Ps is at the heart of the problem. So not surprisingly, the consensus is that playing football has no future in the state — and the country, for that matter.
