JDT's Safawi Rasid is playing himself into a key role for the national U-22's in a slightly different position than usual
In preparation for the AFC U-23 Championship qualifier in Bangkok next month, Datuk Ong Kim Swee's U-22 team has already played four matches, with a variety of results. One shining light from the short time that Ong has taken charge of the team is definitely Safawi Rasid.
The Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) winger has been used further up front by Ong in those friendlies and that has culminated in the 20-year-old notching up three goals in those four matches.
