This goes under the "micro-managing" department
No sex before football match please
Kuala Lumpur (dpa) -
A top Malaysian minister has urged all football players in the central Malacca state team to refrain from having sexual relations before a national-level football match this weekend, a news report said Thursday.
Malacca Chief Minister Mohamad Ali Rustam said based on past matches, players who had sex before their games performed poorly on the field. He said that at a recent game played against the southern Johor state, Malacca footballers "were allowed to 'mix' with their wives the night before and did not perform well the next day."
Johor beat Malacca 1-0.
"Wives are not boosters when it comes to football," Mohamad Ali was quoted as saying by the New Straits Times daily. He said the team would surely be able to win the national-level football match on Saturday against the northern Kedah state. "They just need to stay away from sex and focus on the game."
