00:0018 best teams in Asia have other commitments.
00:10That's why the Malaysian FAM has to make the team
00:14187th in the world, Laos, as the 5th Malaya team
00:18for the international tournament on the 1st of November.
00:22The Indian team has done a great job
00:24to get the team.
00:26Every member of the FAM, Dato' Nur Azmar Rahman,
00:29emphasized that all teams have their own commitments
00:32until next year.
00:37The choice of Laos as the opponent of Malaya
00:39is a debate among the fans of Malaya.
00:42It is said that the majority decided
00:45since Laos has a much lower ranking
00:48than the country's squad in the 133rd world ranking.
00:51However, the FAM has its own reasons
00:53regarding the failure to get the best team in Asia,
00:56including not having a match with the best team in Southeast Asia.
01:02The FAM, as the head coach, has also made a decision
01:06not to organize a friendly match
01:08against four countries from Southeast Asia,
01:11namely Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia,
01:14and the Moleste team.
01:16Since the four teams are in the same group
01:21with the Malaysian team
01:23in the AFF tournament this December.
01:26This is the same as the match against New Zealand
01:30in the friendly match last October.
01:34The referee has decided
01:36that the opposing team in the friendly match
01:39in October and November
01:41wants to play against a club in October
01:45because they want to get a match
01:48against a team that is in a higher ranking
01:51and more competitive.
01:54The match against Laos will be held in Bangkok
01:57and the FAM will face the 125th world ranking team,
02:01India, on November 19,
02:03also in the opposing team.
02:04Meanwhile, regarding the appointment of Christopher Raj
02:07as the head coach of the under-17 team
02:09due to the failure of the team to qualify
02:11for the Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia last year,
02:13this is the reaction of Nur Azman.
02:16The Malaysian team respects the decision
02:19of Mr. Christopher Raj
02:21as the head coach of the under-17 team
02:24to appoint him as the head coach of the under-17 team.
02:27The under-17 team took the job.
02:29He has already held the position
02:32in two competitions
02:34for the Asian Cup under-17 team.
02:38The FAM has also asked
02:40the head coach of the under-17 team
02:43and also the head coach of the under-20 team,
02:47Mr. Scott O'Donnell,
02:49to send a team report as soon as possible
02:53to be brought to the Board of Directors
02:58for post-mortem and evaluation.
