SINGAPORE - For a player so quick he often resembles a blur on the pitch, Hafiz Nor has had to endure a painfully slow progress in the national team.
"He knows our strengths and weaknesses as individual players in detail, and it's an honour to play under him." "Of course, my daughter means everything to us but even my wife told me I should go join the team, because it's an honour to play for the national team," said Hafiz. A late bloomer, Hafiz was not selected for the National Football Academy Under-14 team as he was too small. He was so crestfallen that he chose not to play for any SPL youth team, only turning out for his schools at the secondary and tertiary levels.
His self-belief and versatility saw him winning the Goal of the Season award in 2013 and he received his first call-up for the Lions from then-coach Bernd Stange.
