About 169 billion VND will be "pumped" into the Malaysian team in 2025.
Half of this 169 billion VND (30 million ringgit) comes from the Malaysian government, the other half comes from calling on businesses. The entire amount mentioned above is only for investment in 2025, serving the Malaysian national team. That means the Malaysian team is receiving a huge investment, while in 2025 they will have almost only 1 really important tournament at the national team level, which is the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.
National players begin to return to the domestic football scene
The Vietnamese team is in a position after winning the AFF Cup 2024
That means Malaysian football will focus all its efforts on competing for a ticket to the final round of the Asian Football Championship, with the Vietnamese team. The Vietnamese and Malaysian teams are in the same group F of the third qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup, with only the top team qualifying for the finals.
With about 169 billion VND just approved for spending, the Malaysian team has a new coach, Peter Cklamovski (Australian of Macedonian origin), and at least 7 new naturalized players. They hope that this force will help them achieve a different result from the result of being eliminated after the group stage of the AFF Cup 2024.
However, whether the new force of the Malaysian team will help this team become stronger than the Vietnamese team or not is another matter. Coach Kim Sang-sik's team now has a different position and spirit after we won the Southeast Asian championship this year. At the same time, we are no stranger to facing the naturalized players of teams in the region.
Malaysia team is strong but...
In recent years, the Malaysian national team has continuously lost to the Vietnamese national team, from direct losses at the AFF Cup 2018, 2022, the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia, to losing in terms of overall achievements in the above tournaments.
The problem for the Vietnamese team is just finding a suitable playing style in the context of Xuan Son's injury.
Vietnamese players are considered to have quite a good relationship with their Malaysian opponents, every time the two sides clash. Vietnamese players are more courageous, more technical and more cunning than the naturalized players of the Malaysian team.
The task of Vietnamese football, therefore, is to prepare the team well before we face the Malaysian team in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, starting from March 25. This team will be prepared through the matches in the V-League. Also through the matches in this tournament, coach Kim Sang-sik can discover new factors, renew the squad, and continue to surprise Malaysia.
As for the veterans, Tien Linh, Hoang Duc, Quang Hai often play very well when facing the Malaysian team. As for the rookies, Vi Hao, Hai Long are improving day by day. If they play more in the V-League in the coming time, Vi Hao and Hai Long will be more experienced, more stable, and promise to be more dangerous in the international tournaments of the Vietnamese team in 2025.
The disadvantage of the Vietnamese team in the first leg match against Malaysia in the third qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup, taking place on June 10, is the absence of striker Nguyen Xuan Son and defender Ho Tan Tai due to injury. However, as mentioned, if the rest of the Vietnamese team plays well and is well prepared in the coming time, we will not be too worried about the opponent Malaysia, even though they are being heavily invested.
