Lim You Reveals Secret Behind Her Powerful Left Foot

KUDUS, Aug 20, 2026 – Malaysia’s Malayan Tigress U-17 striker Lim You has explained how her left foot became her greatest weapon, crediting years of training under her father’s guidance.

The 14-year-old sensation stunned fans by scoring seven goals in Malaysia’s 9-0 demolition of Saudi Arabia at the Srikandi Merdeka Cup 2026 group stage. But she insists the story is not just about the goals – it is about the foundation built since childhood.

“Since I was little, my father trained my left foot because not many players are left-footed. I feel lucky to have this advantage,” she said. Lim added that her father would constantly encourage her to use her left in drills, believing it would give her a unique edge in matches.

Her disciplined practice has now turned into a trademark skill, with defenders struggling to anticipate her sharp finishes. Lim stressed that her achievement was also a team effort, praising her teammates for supplying the passes she converted.

With Malaysia set to face Thailand in the semi-final, Lim admitted to feeling some pressure but vowed to channel it into motivation. She hopes her left-footed strikes will carry Malaysia into the final.
