The meeting with Wan Zack Haikal Wan Noor at the Kuala Lumpur Sports Medicine Centre (KLSMC) in Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur changed any preconceived notions I had on the Selangor attacker, who is currently into the fourth month of his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury rehabilitation.
While my earlier efforts to arrange for a good time to talk to him was met with responses that I found a little cold, the Wan Zack who greeted me at the KLSMC entrance did so with a warm smile, putting paid to my fears that I would be in for a tough time, trying to interview an uncooperative subject.
