KUALA LUMPUR: Under-17 forward Lim You from Malayan Tigresses, a 14-year-old soccer player, expressed gratitude for her father's rigorous training from her early years, which has transformed her left foot into a formidable weapon in her football career. After scoring seven goals against Saudi Arabia in the group stage of the Srikandi Merdeka Cup in Kudus, Indonesia, Lim You's team secured their spot in the semi-finals alongside hosts Garuda Pertiwi.
