Malaysian coach declares to “make mincemeat” of Vietnam team in Asian qualifiers

In the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup, Malaysia is in Group F with Vietnam, Laos and Nepal.

Malaysia confident of defeating Vietnam in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

Because Laos and Nepal are both too weak, only Vietnam is considered a worthy opponent of Malaysia.

To prepare for the first leg match with Vietnam in June, Malaysia is planning to naturalize 7 more players.

If this becomes a reality, the "Tigers" may take the field with a lineup consisting entirely of naturalized players in the match against the Vietnamese team.

Therefore, despite facing a Vietnam team with very high performance, coach Peter Cklamovski declared that Malaysia is still strong enough to take all 3 points.

“I am ready to face the difficulties and will try to improve the team after the match against Nepal. We respect the Vietnamese team. They are the current champions of the AFF Cup 2024. Besides, this team is also unbeaten in the last 11 matches.

However, we have great motivation to end their unbeaten streak. The important thing is not how strong the opponent is but how well we prepare.

How can the team improve and defeat the Vietnamese team? I believe Malaysia is strong enough to defeat them,” coach Peter Cklamovski confidently declared.

Although coach Peter Cklamovski declared so, expert Zulakbal Abdul Karim admitted that Malaysia is not yet an opponent of the "Golden Star Warriors", despite the fact that the home team has many naturalized players.

In the opening match, the Vietnamese team beat Laos 5-0 and is currently leading Group F of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. On June 10, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will visit Malaysia.
