When I was a kid, I love MILO® advertisement that promoting “Minum MILO® anda jadi sihat dan kuat” plus the action of a kid doing scissor kick to score a goal. At that time, my entire friends start to drink MILO® hoping they will turn out to be a good footballer or at least able to do scissor kick. And the best moment during school time, is when “Van MILO®” visiting my school for free drinks :D



But MILO® is not only about drink. Did you know that since 2006 MILO® have working so hard in our grass root development? It’s good to see an international company like NESTLÉ involved in our football scene helping us to develop more talented players in attempt to raise our football standard who becoming mockery of the century among Malaysian. This year is the fourth consecutive years MILO® organizing MILO® Hidup Bola and I hope they will continue this development for the long run.

I still remember after Asia Cup 2007 embarrassing exit, one uncle complaints to me that Malaysia lack of physical to compete with another country. It’s our disadvantage. But we can correct it with eating correct food and by building up our football skills like how Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona are able to success in the football world with their limited physical appearance. Come to think about it, it’s definite truth.

And this is how MILO® Hidup Bola will help Malaysia football.


First
Do drink MILO® which contains combination of 8 vitamins and 4 minerals and high in protein for the building and repairing your body tissue. It’s also high in Calcium for strong bones and teeth.

Second
Why Futsal? And it’s not football? Do you know Ronaldinho start with futsal before him becoming the best football player? Same goes to Pele, Zico, Juninho, Ronaldo and Falcao. The game embraces everything that has made the Brazilian players so skilful and quick on the ball. The ball lends itself to rapidly improving ball control by being on the floor more often than in the air, which gives players more touches than in other games.

FYI, MILO® Hidup Bola has kicked off in all 14 states in Malaysia since 18th April and has completed its last leg in Sports Planet (Ampang), Kuala Lumpur on 11th July 2009. The best 16 teams which represent each circuit from Under 12 and the best 32 teams from Under 16 will play in the grand final at Sport Planet Ampang on 26th July 2009.
