Petaling Jaya: Bergson da Silva, the newly naturalised striker, has expressed his excitement about being called up to the national team, calling it a "dream come true." The prolific Johor Darul Ta zim (JDT) striker, who has been terrorizing Malaysian League defences since joining in 2021, will soon wear the Harimau Malaya jersey at the upcoming FIFA Asean Cup.
Bergson described his role as an honor, not a burden, stating that he views it as a significant responsibility. He has always wanted to wear the national team jersey and be part of the team. Representing Malaysia has been a goal for him for some time, following discussions with team management. Bergson emphasized that he and his fellow debutants, Manuel Hidalgo and Brad Tapp, share a common bond and determination to repay the trust placed in them.
They are ready to give their best in every match, acknowledging the tough competition they will face in Group A, which includes Bangladesh, Singapore, and arch-rivals Indonesia. Bergson warned that no opponent should be underestimated, as all teams are tactically and physically strong.
