Harimau Malaya shift focus to Vietnam

Harimau Malaya shift focus to Vietnam

Jakarta: Tan Cheng Hoe, the interim coach of Harimau Malaya, wants the team to focus on beating Vietnam in the third-place playoff of the FIFA Asean Cup. Despite Malaysia's 6-0 win over Singapore in their final Group A match, it was not enough to secure a spot in the final. Cheng Hoe believes the team's recent performances, particularly in defense and in front of goal, are a positive indication of their capabilities.

He emphasizes that while they did not qualify for the final, their recent matches have gone well and they should move forward. The priority now is to ensure a positive result in the upcoming match, rather than dwelling on the disappointment of missing out on the final.
