After the 0-4 loss to the UAE, the Malaysian team faced a lot of pressure when it was forced to win 3 points in the next match to raise hopes for the final qualifying round of the World Cup 2022. After witnessing the 4-0 victory of the Vietnamese team Before Indonesia, the Malaysian media all felt the level of coach Park Hang-seo’s teachers and students.
Share with Zing , Avineshwaran Taharumalengam, sports writer of The Star said that Malaysia has a way to solve the Vietnamese team, but the use of violent football like Indonesia is not the style of coach Tan Cheng Hoe’s teachers and students. “I believe that the Malaysian team will play fair-play against Vietnam, there is no need to use aggressive and violent football. I know confronting Vietnam is not easy, but I believe that the Malaysian team will learn from those experiences. The team will defend better. Coach Tan himself emphasized that to his players, “Avineshwaran said.

The Malaysian team is having a bad record when losing all 3 matches from the beginning of 2021, including 2 friendly matches against Kuwait, Bahrain and the official match against the UAE. Avineshwaran believes that the disruption in the national league plus a period of nearly two years without international competition has affected the performance of the players. Avineshwaran explained: “This is not the start Malaysia wanted. Many fans expected the players to be better equipped against the UAE, but they were not in the best form. Even coach Tan Cheng Hoe also said his students do not operate as a unified block in both defense and attack. “With naturalized players, you can’t expect immediate results because they are new to this arena. The expectations are really high and they know it. I believe Liridon Krasniqi or Guilherme de Paula both want it. prove their worth. They see the match against Vietnam as an opportunity to make a difference,” continued the Malaysian writer. If Malaysia lost 0-4 to the UAE, the Vietnamese team defeated Indonesia with a similar difference. Despite the rough play of the opponent, Park’s teachers and students still played bravely to maintain the unbeaten circuit in the World Cup qualifiers.

Without Nguyen Quang Hai, the Vietnamese team still has other quality players. Really It is refreshing to see Luong Xuan Truong, Phan Van Duc, Nguyen Cong Phuong and Nguyen Van Toan perform well against Indonesia. Malaysia will have to really focus when facing them,” said the writer born in 1990. The Malaysian team has not won against Vietnam in the last 4 confrontations. In 3 matches at AFF Cup 2018, Malaysia lost two and drew one. In the match as a guest to Vietnam in the first leg of the 2022 World Cup qualifying round, coach Tan Cheng Hoe’s teachers and students continued to leave empty-handed. Avineshwaran believes that those failures will help the Malaysian coaching team learn from experience. “I’m sure coach Tan Cheng Hoe has watched many videos before the rematch with Vietnam. He will recognize the threats from the opponent.” “The Vietnamese team looks strong right now. They will become one of the top teams in Asia if their progress is stable. As for the level, we will know when Vietnam meets the UAE,” Avineshwaran told Zing .
