Despite the gap between Malaysia and Laos, Khairul Fahmi still wants to see the same commitment of his team against the underdogs.
Khairul Fahmi Che Mat, one of only two team members to still be cup winner in 2010, knows what is the Suzuki Cup of AFF and the pitfalls in which she can enter.
After defeating Cambodia in the first game, Laos is the next opponent and, despite the fact that they only win two matches in the entire history of the AFF championship, Khairul pledges to not take them lightly.
"We have to face Laos with confidence and without much trust, because we can not underestimate Laos. We have to score three points because we play at home, "said Khairul on Monday.
For the fourth straight championship, Khairul started as the first choice goalkeeper for Malaysia and played in the first match. However, those in front of him were a little different than before.
Against Cambodia, the last four, Khairul, started their first match together under Tan Cheng Hoe. But Khairul already likes what he saw playing with Syahmi Safari, Aidil Zafuan, Shahrul Saad and Syazwan Andik.
"It was the first time we played together, but separately, we had already played together, so as a band, it was not that difficult to build. Because we are all close as a family, everything goes smoothly, "he added.
On Wednesday, the team will travel to Hanoi to face Vietnam, a team that Cheng Hoe and V. Sundramoorthy have openly declared to be tournament favorites. Although he started with two relatively easier games in Cambodia and Laos, Khairul dismissed any idea that the first two games were part of the game preparation in Vietnam.
"The preparation of the tournament is over against the Maldives. When the tournament started against Cambodia, it was like that. These two games are serious games for us and we do not take it to prepare ourselves for Vietnam, "said Khairul.
The Laos were beaten 0-3 by Vietnam in their opening match and if Malaysia wants to open a three-point gap over Vietnam (which does not play the second day), the Malaysian Tigers should also aim to match or improve the margin goal difference.
