Then on the ultimate matchday, the Malayan Tiger squad was humiliated Indonesian National team 4-1. Therefore, Ong Kim Swee asked Safawi Rasid and colleagues to imitate the mentality of the Indonesian national team players.

“The mentality of Indonesian players is something that Malaysian footballers have to adopt. The team has the quality, but not the mentality,” said Ong Kim Swee, quoting the New Straits Times, Monday (3/1/2022).

Of course, Malaysia’s new coach, Ong Kim Swee, is expected to be able to change the mentality of the Malayan Tiger squad. Former PSM Makassar coach, Bojan Hodak, is said to be the next coach of the Malaysian national team.
