National Football Team Coach Hopes for Victory Against Laos
National head coach Pau Marti Vicente is eager to see his team bounce back from their disappointing 0-4 loss to New Zealand last month with a convincing victory against Laos in Thailand tomorrow.
Apart from securing a win, Vicente hopes that his players, particularly the new faces who have been called up to the national squad this time, can play with the style of play he has applied. "Of course we want to have a good result and a good win against Laos. But I think it is better for us to focus on ourselves and how we can perform our best. The players are free from injuries and ready to face Laos," he said in an audio recording shared by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) today.
Vicente emphasized the importance of building confidence and playing in their own style. "We need to build our confidence. Winning is important but they also need to play in their style," he said. "Today as the last day of training, we try to focus on the defensive set up to make sure they all know what they need to do. Hopefully nothing happens (today) and everybody is available for tomorrow (match)," he added.
Malaysia has an impressive track record against Laos, having won all eight previous meetings. After tomorrow’s match against Laos, the national team will fly off to India for their second Tier 1 friendly match scheduled on Monday.
