Faisal Halim KAGUM KUALITI Son Heung Min & Kim Min Jae
Transcript
00:00 So, that was the final round of the Asian Cup, where Malaysia tied South Korea 3-3.
00:07 And now I'm here with the individual who managed to shake off the wall, Kim Min Jae.
00:15 How are you, Faizal Halim?
00:17 I'm good, Alhamdulillah.
00:18 We've talked about Kim Min Jae. Can you share your feelings after you managed to shake off the wall?
00:31 I'm very excited. I'm happy to be playing on the same field as a world-class player.
00:47 I've learned a lot and gained a lot of experience.
00:51 It's not easy to be a good player.
00:54 But I'm still impressed by his attitude and his way of playing.
01:05 He's very calm. He's the best player I've ever played with.
01:10 It's not easy to be a good player, but it's a blessing from Allah.
01:20 It's a small thing that happened and it's a good thing for me.
01:26 But it's not important for me, it's important for the team.
01:32 Whatever I get, whether I win the club or the national team, it's not just for me.
01:41 It's for the club and the national team.
01:44 So you're still with South Korea.
01:46 You've talked to Son Heung-min about a few things.
01:51 Can you share with us what you've discussed?
01:54 We haven't discussed anything serious.
01:59 I asked him about penalties.
02:04 He asked me why I asked him about penalties.
02:07 I said, "It's because he's a striker. He's a striker."
02:14 He said, "No, no, no. No penalties."
02:18 I said, "Okay, we'll wait for the penalty."
02:24 I know he can talk to me in a professional way.
02:33 He's not arrogant. He's not afraid to play in a good league.
02:40 He doesn't know where I play.
02:50 But I know he plays at a high level.
02:55 I'm proud of that.
02:58 I think if I had a million dollars, I wouldn't be able to play with him.
03:02 But this is the result of my hard work since I was a kid.
03:06 My parents always prayed for me, my family, my wife and my children.
03:12 This is a blessing from God.
03:15 Not just for me, but for the Malaysians.
03:19 I've seen the best of the Malaysian football team.
03:24 You're still with Pialasya.
03:27 You lost twice in the first match, against South Korea.
03:32 But that's all in the past now.
03:35 Can you share your feelings about playing for Pialasya?
03:41 It's been 40 years since you last played.
03:43 This is your first time playing for Pialasya.
03:47 It's not easy.
03:50 After 42 or 43 years, our national team has never played for Pialasya.
03:58 But this year, our team has achieved a lot.
04:06 Our team has been through a lot.
04:11 We're at a high level.
04:15 We still have a lot to learn.
04:18 We still have a lot to learn to be a better player.
04:22 I think Coach Kim has done a good job for our team.
04:28 It's been a long time for us to achieve this.
04:36 But now, our team is improving.
04:47 We're not going to succeed in one or two matches.
04:53 We need to focus on our club.
04:57 We need to give our best to our team.
05:03 Our club is like a big family.
05:09 All the players in the Super League are improving.
05:14 That's one of the factors that makes our team better.
05:18 I think in the future, our team will have more young players.
05:25 I won't be in the national team for long.
05:29 I don't know how long I'll be able to play.
05:32 But as long as I can, I'll do my best to help the team.
05:38 I'm sure that the young players will be at a higher level.
05:50 They will be able to maintain their level.
05:55 I think they will be able to use their energy.
05:59 It's not easy to go to the Asian Cup. It's like a World Cup.
06:05 You play in a beautiful stadium with great players.
06:11 The pressure is high.
06:15 We don't want to lose, but it's not easy.
06:21 Okay, that's all for the Asian Cup.
06:24 You will play in the World Cup. You will play twice in Oman.
06:29 One in Muscat and one in Bukit Jalil.
06:31 Do you have your own preparation for the match against Pantene?
06:38 We know that the Super League will start in May.
06:46 There's a gap in the schedule.
06:51 The players don't have a match.
06:53 There's no minute to play.
06:55 I think the players who will be called to join the club
07:02 will know their responsibilities.
07:05 They need to be prepared and work hard.
07:07 They need to be ready to go to Oman.
07:12 We need two matches, maximum points.
07:15 If we get maximum points, we will go to the next round.
07:20 It's easy to say, but it's hard to do it.
07:25 I play for a team with a big pride.
07:32 If we lose, we get attacked.
07:35 But if we win, we explode.
07:39 This is the Super League.
07:41 I have chosen to play in this field.
07:43 I will accept criticism.
07:48 I will continue to fight.
07:53 Let's talk about the team.
07:58 Next season, you will play in the SEL2.
08:01 As you said, the league will start soon.
08:04 How will you face it?
08:07 I'm on vacation.
08:10 I will play in the SEL2.
08:15 The decision will be made in the SEL2.
08:21 What do you want to say to your fans?
08:27 You have been supporting the team since the beginning.
08:30 You lost the first and second matches.
08:33 Even the fans of SEL2, especially the kids, want to be like you.
08:42 Thank you to all Malaysians, Harimau Mulayang fans, and my fans.
08:52 I hope you will continue to support us.
08:59 I am very happy to see you support our team.
