Skuad B-23 Kebangsaan Mampu Beri Saingan

Meskipun tidak berjaya layak ke pusingan akhir Kejuaraan B-23 AFC 2020 di Thailand, Presiden Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM), Dato' Haji Hamidin Haji Mohd Amin puji aksi dipamerkan anak didik Datuk Ong Kim Swee yang mencatat keputusan seri 2-2 dengan China, malam tadi.

Misi Malaysia ke Thailand tidak kesampaian selepas gagal berada dalam kalangan 4 pasukan tempat kedua terbaik kumpulan bagi saingan kelayakan.

"Skuad kebangsaan mempamerkan corak permainan yang baik dengan semangat juang tinggi.

"Kejayaan pasukan kadang-kala tidak boleh diukur dengan kalah atau menang sebaliknya menerusi prestasi dan corak permainan yang ini saya anggap boleh dipuji kerana mampu beri saingan," katanya.

Hadir sama menyaksikan perlawanan adalah Menteri Belia dan Sukan, YB Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman; Setiausaha Agung Konfederasi Bolasepak Asia (AFC), Datuk Windsor John Paul dan semua barisan exco FAM.

Turut hadir, pemangku presiden Persatuan Bolasepak China (CFA) yang juga Menteri Sukan China, Du Zhaocai yang hadir bersama Timbalan Setiausaha Agungnya yang juga Pengarah Bahagian Antarabangsa, Roger Luo dan Pengurus Bahagian Antarabangsa, Frank Wei.

National U-23 Squad Proved their Mettle

Despite failing to qualify for the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship in Thailand, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) President, Dato' Haji Hamidin Haji Mohd Amin applauded Datuk Ong Kim Swee’s men who held China to a 2-2 draw yesterday.

Malaysia's mission to Thailand was dashed after failing to finish among the top 4 second-placed teams in the qualifiers.

"The national squad produced a good showing with great fighting spirit.

"The success of the team can't be measured by losing or winning instead through the performance and pattern of the game thus I praised them as they managed to prove themselves as a competitive team,” he said.

Present yesterday were the Youth and Sports Minister, YB Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman; General Secretary of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), Datuk Windsor John Paul and FAM Excos.

Also present were acting Chinese Football Association (CFA) president, Du Zhaocai with his deputy General Secretary who is also the International Division Director, Roger Luo and International Division Manager, Frank Wei.
