Tan Cheng Hoe's plan for World Cup denied

In the 2022 World Cup qualifier in Asia, Malaysia is currently one of the candidates for the ticket to go to Group G. Currently, they are ranked 2nd and only 2 points behind Vietnam. Therefore, the upcoming rounds with direct competitors will be very important for Tan Cheng Hoe’s army.

In order to prepare the best for the 2022 World Cup qualifier in Asia, coach Tan Cheng Hoe really wants Malaysia to have more time to focus on practicing and getting used to the tactics. Specifically, he wants the players to gather in August before the M-League returns. However, this idea did not get the approval.

Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mahadi, president of the Malaysia Football Federation (FAM), said: “We have tried our best to find more days for the team but unfortunately it is not possible. Now,we only hope that the players can regain their form through the M-League, thereby getting ready for the national team. ”

This is considered a major disadvantage for Malaysia compared to Vietnam when V-League returned soon on June 5. Park Hang-seo’s players have a lot of time to get acquainted and regain their form.

Therefore, the Korean strategist has also made objective assessments and sought new options for Vietnam.

Also expected, Vietnam will have a 3-day rally in August. This is considered an extremely careful preparation of Park Hang-seo for the first time to reach the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup.
