AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023/ OFA Vice President to QNA: Qatar a Global Icon in Organizing Tournaments

Doha, January 19 (QNA) - The coach of the Malaysian national team, South Korean Kim Pan-gon, is looking forward to achieving victory against Bahrain on Saturday in the second round of Group E competitions of the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023.
The coach indicated in the press conference at the main media center of the tournament that the Malaysian team is looking to quickly restore balance in the group after losing in the last round to Jordan, which was disappointing.
He stressed his confidence in the players' ability to quickly return to the right track, and learn from the mistakes of the last match, especially in terms of defensive performance.
Kim Pan-gon pointed out that the Malaysian team will not play for a draw in the Bahrain match, but rather will work to achieve victory, adding they did not come to the tournament in order to be satisfied with a loss or a draw, as they try in every match to score goals and achieve a victory.
He expressed his hope that his players would succeed in scoring an early goal that could put them in the lead for the game, calling on the Malaysian players to focus and play with great caution stopping the attacks of the Bahraini team, which is expected to play the attack to make up for its loss in the last round.
