We lost against Lebanon, this was the first and only game of the season I prepared alone as WalterZ was busy. The tactics and game predictions were all very wrong. The good news is that it won't affect next stage as we will end up being 3rd regardless of our last group game against Japan. In the next stage, we will be in the same group with Lebanon, Australia, Iran (or Philippines), Taiwan and Singapore. It won't be easy but behind Taiwan, anything is possible.

After losing against Taiwan, we can't hope for anything but maybe a win against Lebanon or Australia. The tactics against Taiwan were all wrong and this is my mistake, I took an option and it was incorrect.

Walter who has been helping me with the scouting and tactics will sit out next game as he is the former Lebanon NT manager and prefers to remain neutral. As I said, we have nothing to play for anyway so it won't change anything for us.

This season was below average, this is partly due to the transfer of some players (Ge Jingwen's game shape). To be honest, even with their best game shapes, I wouldn't have been able to bring our NT higher. I feel limited with our local players and I don't have ideas to make us better. Next season will be my last as NT manager.

As always, I welcome all constructive contributions.

End of season 69

At last, we got an win and it was against Australia! Funny thing is that I was moving house and couldn't spend much time on tactics / scouting. Overall, it wasn't a good season but looking at the end of season game shapes, I worry about the future. Siranjeevi Rajan changed teams so his new owner might be better at taking care of his GS. Wei Wenqing is on the transfer list and will have a new team, hopefully he will be well taken care of. We lack of depth, especially inside so Ge Jingwen's game shape hurt us. Hopefully, his Malaysian's manager will take better care of his GS next season.

I would like to repeat that Walter has been helping me... in fact, he more than helped me, he did most of the scouting / preparing job and I just followed with some small adjustments. My plan is to step down as NT manager and to let Walter take over our NT. He will keep doing what he has done this season unless someone has something against that. Feel free to write what you think.

Really appreciate all your past effort as NT!

I try my best to get Wei Wenqing ,then take care his game shape next season

I didn't take time to thank all the managers who helped by training their NT players or keeping them in good shape. Francis Jalius is not the most skilled player of the team but he is always in good Game Shape. Thank you for that! As for Mark Bugak, I don't think he will make the team but he is close.
