ISKANDAR PUTERI, March 28 -- Harimau Malaya player Mohamad Faisal Abdul Halim was pushed hard by Hong Kong player Leung Kwun Chung in the Tier 1 International Friendly Match between the Harimau Malaya team against the Hong Kong team at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium today.
The 60-year-old Norwegian coach said an early goal would not only have instilled more confidence in his players but also put pressure on the Harimau Malaya in front of their own fans. “If Malaysia and have to attack against us there will be spaces at the back and it will be more easy for us,” he told the post-match press conference.
“I’m happy with how we played although we let them score two goals in the first half but the big chances we created before - we had the header in the fourth minute and we saw our striker’s efforts denied by the goalkeeper. Indeed we had big chances and I don’t know what would have happened if we got in front here.
