KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 -- National player Darren Yee Deng Lok’s disappointed reaction after the Pestabola Merdeka 2023 Final between Malaysia and Tajikistan at Bukit Jalil National Stadium last night. BERNAMAPIX: Harimau Malaya captain Dion Cools admitted that the 2-0 defeat by Tajikistan in the final of the 2023 Merdeka Tournament last night has cast a cloud of negativity among the players, resulting in a sombre mood in the dressing room.
“It’s a team performance, we lose together, we win together. I think everybody has a negative feeling now... we should not be negative and there are a lot of positive things. I think we dominated the game against a higher-ranked team. Defender Matthew Davies was just as disappointed, especially when he had a good chance to score but failed to direct his header past the Tajikistan goalkeeper just seconds before the end of the first half.
“We had chances and quality, but we were just not clinical enough. Luck was also not on our side. The result isn’t good, but we will focus on next month’s Qualifiers,” he said.
