KUALA LUMPUR, Aug. 3 -- Umno should adopt the mindset and strategy of a professional football team as it gears up for the next general election, said party vice-president Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, according to Kosmo!

Speaking at the Johor Bahru Umno Division Delegates Meeting today, Johari stressed that success in politics depends on unity and clear roles - much like a football squad working together on the pitch.

"Politics is like football - we can't fight alone. You need strikers, midfielders, defenders, goalkeepers, reserves, and even supporters," he was quoted as saying by Kosmo!

He added: "If everyone wants to be a striker and score goals, the team will struggle. But if each person plays their part, we can win."
