Malaysian trainer Kim Pan Gon gave striking comments ahead of FIFA Matchday against China at Phoenix Mountain Stadium, Saturday (9/9).

Kim Pan Gon said that Malaysian players experienced a phase of confidence crisis, even though they had potential.

The South Korean coach has known this since he first handled the Malaysian Tigers in early 2023.

“When I accepted the offer to become Malaysia’s coach, I was sure when I looked at the squad, Malaysia had great potential, but they [pemain] didn’t realize that he was good enough,” said Kim Pan Gon as quoted from Bharian.

Through the hard work of all parties, including the coaching staff and players, Pan Gon assessed that Dion Cools and friends experienced rapid development.

Pan Gon hopes that the Malaysian game can dominate, appear aggressive and show good performance to the public.

“So we work hard, including all the players. I always tell the players that they are good, sometimes they don’t believe that they are good,” said KPG.

“Now I see we are a good team to compete with any country, so I am happy to see that,” added Kim Pan Gon.

Previously, Kim Pan Gon praised Malaysia’s performance by considering their strength to be equivalent to a team ranked 94th in the FIFA rankings after matching Syria 2-2.
