Scandal surrounds, Malaysian team still smiles in Laos

According to records, the entire Malaysian team arrived in Vientiane on the evening of October 6. They will have their first training session to get used to the weather and field conditions before facing host Laos on the evening of October 9.

Currently, the "Golden Tigers" lead Group F with 6 points, 3 more than Vietnam and Laos. However, personnel changes forced coach Peter Cklamovski to recalculate tactics. From a team considered the strongest in Group F, Malaysia entered the match against Laos with a cautious attitude.

However, the players who were called up to the Malaysian national team this time still seemed quite relaxed. Photos posted by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) showed a light, friendly atmosphere between the players, some shaking hands, some smiling, a few familiar faces brightening up when the camera was pointed at them.

Despite the pressure from FIFA accusing FAM of using fake documents in the files of 7 naturalized players, no one showed any signs of stress.

The image shows the Malaysian players trying to maintain their fighting spirit, despite the surrounding scandal storm.

Having lost seven key players, Malaysia quickly added Jordan Mintah. The Ghanaian player has no Malaysian roots, but is loved by fans for his strong playing style, professional spirit and impressive scoring performance. Mintah was only naturalized in August and went through a legal and transparent process.

Regardless of the troubles off the field, it can be seen that the Malaysian team still shows professionalism and determination to overcome the crisis with smiles and faith.

In fact, Malaysia is still rated higher than Laos despite the squad being disrupted. If there are no surprises, "Harimau Malaya" is likely to win all 6 points in the 2 matches against Laos on October 9 and October 14.

Coach Cklamovski is said to have asked his players to focus completely on football, considering the match against Laos as an opportunity to prove the team's mettle in the face of public skepticism.
