00:00The last country that will participate in the Paralympics for the gold medal in Malaysia.
00:11That's what we're going to share in a moment.
00:13But we want to start with the Merdeka football festival, where the 7th coach of the country, Paul Marti,
00:17admitted that it was not a perfect goal, let alone a 2-1 victory over the Philippines.
00:21Opening the slot to the final against Lubnan Ahad.
00:24For Marti, it's not a waste of the first win.
00:28It looks like he's addicted to the desire in the final.
00:31It's a perfect move for the return of the Merdeka football festival trophy after the last time, 11 years ago.
00:55Merdeka!
01:05Going down to the National Bukit Jalil stadium with the main goal to the coach for the first time,
01:10Paul Marti admitted that it was not a great performance overall.
01:14However, that is not an excuse for him to break his promise.
01:18Paul considered his first win to be a good sign.
01:22With 90 minutes, the sweat of the players on the field is not as easy as the opinion that came out of the eyes
01:28that showed the action of the national squad in Rabu.
01:48I think they need to step up and show that they are good ones.
01:53They are good. And I think they did that.
01:56And maybe it was not as easy as we all wanted it to be.
02:00But at the end we got the results and we go to the final.
02:03And as we said before, and we are speaking also,
02:07that now we are in the final, we just want to win as well.
02:10It is not an easy test to meet Lubnan.
02:13But if the championship happens, it is against the achievements of the former coach, Kim Panggon.
02:18In that match, the interim coach of the Philippines, Norman Fegidero Junior,
02:23was relaxed without a perfect performance.
02:25His son was almost able to make Malaysia blink.
02:28The involvement of the Filipino players who are in the Malaysian League,
02:31a lot of information was provided to his team.
02:34And D'Azgal is moving with that advantage.
02:38They are familiar with some of your players.
02:41So that is why we get adjusted right away.
02:47So I think that is a big factor for us going in the second half.
02:55But, well, sometimes when players get emotional because of the call of the referee.
03:08So I cannot control that.
