Keeper Jiahui hailed by Chua

"Mr Safe-Hands"
In an interview with Asia Football Show, Chua told reporters that he was mightily impressed with the defensive performance on Sun as Prodigy claimed its first clean sheet. He was particularly impressed with Jiahui, who has been the unsung hero and whose performances belies the fact that he has only started playing in goal a short three months ago.

Chua praised: "Jiahui is one of the reasons why I am not going to have any more sleepless nights on conceding soft goals anymore. He is tall, commanding and athletic, all the requisites needed for a top class keeper. He looks like he has played in goal all his life, doesn't he? He can only continue to improve and im looking forward to more clean sheets."

Chua laughed: "If he feels the itch to score, he can always go up during our corners to try his luck! But that's only if we are a goal down and in injury time!"

When asked how he felt, Jiahui told Asia Football with his trademark smirk: " I am just doing my job as a keeper, ultimately, it really has been a team effort. Our defenders have been excellent throughout."

Wise words indeed from the humble young man. With Jiahui in goal, Prodigy certainly has a pair of safe-hands and conceding the typical "Prodigy" goal is fast becoming a distant memory.
