Bergson eager to shine for Harimau Malaya
KUALA LUMPUR: Johor Darul Ta'zim's (JDT) Bergson da Silva is ready to answer the Harimau Malaya call after FIFA cleared the striker to represent Malaysia as a naturalised player.
KUALA LUMPUR: Johor Darul Ta Zim's Bergson da Silva, the Brazilian-born striker, is prepared to consider representing Malaysia as a naturalised player after FIFA granted him the green light. The 29-year-old admitted he never imagined he would be naturalised when he arrived in Malaysia five or six years ago, with his initial goal being to give his best for Johor Darul Ta Zim (JDT).
Bergson expressed his gratitude for the strong support he has received from Malaysia and their boss Tunku Mahkota Ismail Sultan Ibrahim. He stated he wants to repay this support through hard work on the pitch. The confirmation of Bergson and teammate Brad Tapp's eligibility provides interim coach Tan Cheng Hoe with additional attacking options as they prepare for the inaugural FIFA Asean Cup in Jakarta.
Bergson reaffirmed his readiness to join the national team on September 21, should he be called up, and expressed his desire to score on his international debut.
