  • Timnas Malaysia akan hadapi Turkmenistan pada FIFA Matchday, Kamis (23/3/2023).
  • Kapten Harimau Malaya ingatkan rekan-rekan setimnya untuk tak lengah menghadapi sang lawan.
  • Malaysia pernah menang atas Turkmenistan pada Kualifikasi Piala Asia 2023, Juni tahun lalu.

SKOR.id - Kapten timnas Malaysia, Dion Cools, mengingatkan rekan-rekan setimnya untuk fokus saat hadapi Turkmenistan.

Harimau Malaya, julukan timnas Malaysia, akan bertarung melawan Turkmenistan dalam FIFA Matchday di Stadion Sultan Ibrahim, Kamis (23/3/2023).

Ini merupakan pertemuan kedua mereka versus negara pecahan Uni Soviet tersebut, setelah Juni tahun lalu di Kualfikasi Piala Asia 2023.

Kala itu, timnas Malaysia mampu unggul 3-1 di Stadion Bukit Jalil melalui gol-gol Safawi Rasid, Faisal Halim, dan La'Vere Corbing Ong.

Meski demikian, Dion Cools tak ingin para pemain Harimau Malaya terbuai dengan hasil di masa lalu. 

Apalagi, secara ranking FIFA, Turkmenistan (135) masih unggul jauh di atas Malaysia (145). 

"Laga tersebut masih segar di ingatan, kami memulai dengan agresif dan berhasil mengejutkan lawan. Satu-satunya gol mereka tercipta atas kesalahan lini belakang kami," ujar Dion Cools, dalam konferensi pers jelang pertandingan.

"Sekarang, mereka tentu sudah belajar dari pertemuan tersebut dan menganalisis gaya permainan kami," dia menambahkan.

Hal terpenting yang harus dilakukan para pemain Malaysia, kata Cools, adalah disiplin dalam bertahan, meminimalisasi kesalahan, serta menjalankan taktik pelatih Kim Pan-gon dengan sebaik-baiknya.

"Sebagai pemain belakang, saya akan mengingatkan rekan-rekan untuk tak lengah dan membuat kesalahan. Jangan sampai kebobolan. Itu juga akan memudahkan tugas para penyerang kami untuk mencari gol di sisi lain," ujar bek yang kini merumput di Liga Thailand 1 bersama Buriram United itu.

Terlepas dari hal itu, Dion Cools cukup yakin Malaysia mampu menang atas Turkmenistan. Dia terkesan dengan skuad yang dipilih pelatih Kim Pan-gon untuk FIFA Matchday kali ini.

Selain wajah familier yang sudah menjadi langganan timnas, ada pula delapan debutan yang dipanggil oleh Kim Pan-gon.

Itu termasuk duo pemain naturalisasi, Endrick do Santos dan Paulo Josue, serta gelandang berdarah campuran Malaysia-Finlandia, Nooa Laine.

"Saya melihat para pemain yang dipanggil kali ini memiliki kualitas yang diinginkan pelatih. Saya yakin hasratnya untuk membentuk tim yang lebih baik bisa tercapai. Untuk itu, saya dan rekan setim harus tampil konsisten," ujar Cools.

Laga melawan Turkmenistan adalah ujian pertama timnas Malaysia di FIFA Matchday kali ini. Setelah itu, pada Selasa (28/3/2023), mereka akan lanjut meladeni Hong Kong di tempat yang sama.
