Ahead of the opening match against Laos, the Malaysia U-23 situation was in a limited condition.However, Ahmad Aysar Hadi remains optimistic.
“We cannot take it for granted and we have learned a lot, especially in terms of playing as a team. We realize that there are small things that sometimes have a bigger impact on us as a team,” said the Malaysian defender.
“So for this SEA Games, we have learned from all previous tournaments and we will give our best in this edition of the SEA Games,” Ahmad added.

“In terms of preparation, we continue to train even in a situation where there is a shortage of players. The number of players is not sufficient, and maybe there are those who take part in training and then return to compete with the state, with the club, then join us again,” said Nafuzi.
