Although their elimination from the tournament has already been confirmed, Malaysia showed their will to do their best in the Korean game for Yoo Jong-mi's sake.

There is nothing to do. “It is a game that will make us think about the future (against a strong team),” he said.

He continued, “There will also be the second round of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asia region in March and June.

As a Korean, Coach Kim was dealing with Korea. Before taking charge of Malaysia, he served as the power strengthening committee member at the Korea Football Association, so he knows Korean power better than anyone else.

In response, Coach Kim said, “There is a burden, but as a Malaysian coach, I am free from all the pressure. We want to fight. We must show the people that Malaysia is strong and stable. “I will not be afraid and will face it courageously,” he said.

When asked about Korea's weaknesses, he said, "I watched Korea's two games, and each player is outstanding and they are a good team. “I think we will make it to the finals,” he said. “There are no major weaknesses, but there will be ways to exploit them.”

Korea's strong power also seemed threatening to the players. A foreign reporter expressed curiosity about how the Malaysian defense will block world-class strikers such as Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton).

In response, defender Dion Cools, who was present at the press conference with Coach Kim, said, “It may be difficult to stop them because they are good players,” but added, “Soccer is a team sport played by 11 people. “We will be able to stop it as a team,” he said, emphasizing the one-team spirit. 토토사이트 순위
