Png Picked Up
Chicken Wings midfielder Png Chao Lai left on a free transfer to German sixth division outfit Athletico Langwedel today, and had an immediate taste of action, lasting the full ninety minutes in a 0-5 friendly loss in Italy to Real Castiglione.
Although fellow newbie Patryk Cioś was the more involved, notching a yellow card and a minor knee injury while attracting quite a few more passes, Langwedel senior Hanns-Axel Ruby appeared to appreciate Png's willingness to take risks.
Wings scout Lim Hock Puay, who highly recommended Png to the academy after watching him in a pick-up game, remained slightly disappointed at him not getting a chance with the main squad. "But maybe he'll do a Muthyala, you never know."
