PETALING JAYA: It has been frustrating for Marhan Jalil to watch the Speedy Tigers from the sidelines but the defender has never failed to deliver strong messages to keep his teammates motivated before an international event.

Marhan, 32, will not be in action at the Nations Cup (Nov 28-Dec 4) due to a foot injury but the veteran, often referred to as “Captain Marvel”, has urged the Tigers to capture the crown despite the tough competition in Potchefstroom, South Africa.
