00:00The Malaysian Football Association has announced that the campaign is the last task of the
00:12head coach, Harimau Malaya.
00:14That's right.
00:15The decision was made by the Malaysian Football Association in connection with the restructuring
00:22of the national team.
00:25Marti, in a statement on Thursday, mentioned that as part of the restructuring, the head
00:31coach and the line-up of Harimau Malaya's coaching staff will be appointed for the
00:36Asian Cup 2022 campaign starting next year.
00:39Following that, he and the coaching staff will end their service with the Harimau Malaya
00:44squad at the end of the Amec Cup campaign.
00:47According to Marti again, it is something that is fun to continue this journey together
00:52because they have spent three amazing years in Malaysia, filled with unforgettable memories.
00:58Marti wants players, especially young prospects, to enjoy the Amec Cup campaign and the
01:03extraordinary atmosphere at Bukit Jalil with their supporters.
01:06Getting their support is the greatest appreciation for the national squad and Marti
01:10assures that the supporters will enjoy the action of the team in their last campaign together.
01:15Marti ends the statement by inviting all parties together to give their best for the
01:20national team.
01:50What makes this decision happen?
02:20I don't know. I think, I said before, I just focus on what I can do. I try to coach the
02:27team, to help the players, to get results. Sometimes it's not easy, sometimes it's not
02:32possible to get results. I think we can be satisfied of our job, also about our performance,
02:40but at the end of the day, I'm not the one taking decisions, so I just try to do my best
02:45to help players to win games.
02:47How do you accept this situation, coach? As we know that Malaysia right now in preparation
02:54of EFF, but you know, when you come back from EFF, you are no longer as a head coach.
03:02Yeah, always when you face the last game or last training, it will be a strange feeling.
03:07Also, I've been here since February 2022, really good memories with all players, all
03:14staff, even all the supporting staff and FAM staff. So it will be emotional for sure, but
03:21that's why to me it was better to take it off now. Also, we don't know what will happen
03:27next week, so it's better just we focus on the tournament.
03:31Everybody knows that your position as a head coach will maintain if you manage to get good
03:39result in Pesta Bola Merdeka and also EFF, but then it's something different now because
03:47the EFF is not start yet, but there's a decision on you already. So on that?
03:53Yeah, as I said, I think I cannot worry about the things I cannot control. So we try to
03:59do our job. I think we want Merdeka tournament as you said, and we were facing this tournament
04:04as well.
