Malaysia's junior goalkeepers get the call up at Azlan Shah

With both of their regular goalkeepers out injured and therefore unable to be called upon for recent international fixtures, Malaysian coaching staff had to resort to getting their youngsters to fill in between the posts, for the recent Azlan Shah tournament. With their incumbent starter getting on in years, there would be coming a day when they needed to 'break in' the next generation of goalkeeping talent to fill his void. But the future has become the now.

Not exactly something you would see happen elsewhere; in the sense that there would be a middle between experienced internationals to upcoming goalkeepers with good experience, right age and capable of making the step to international level to the junior ranks. And whilst it is a great experience for the goalies in question, puts a lot of pressure and could cause negative impact burning out a goalkeeper not yet ready for the level and its requirements.
