00:22 (speaking in foreign language)
00:26 (speaking in foreign language)
00:30 (speaking in foreign language)

00:46 (speaking in foreign language)
01:15 - Correct, Mr. Jassim, how are you?
01:16 - Hi, very good to meet you.
01:17 - Okay. - Good to see you.
01:19 - We just move forward to first question.
01:21 It's about 2023 Asian Cup.
01:24 Qatar is going to be the first Asian Cup
01:26 that held in the FIFA World Cup stadiums.
01:29 So your thought on Qatar achieving
01:32 this unique distinction of Asian football.
01:35 - Yeah.
01:36 So, (speaking in foreign language)
01:37 of course, at the beginning,
01:39 it's only less than one year
01:43 since the final of the World Cup
01:45 here in December '18 in Lusail Stadium.
01:48 And we are already announcing the next big tournament.
01:51 So I think it speaks a lot about the legacy
01:55 of this tournament here in Qatar.
01:57 Seven out of the eight stadiums from World Cup
02:01 will be used for this Asian Cup.
02:04 And two other stadiums, additional stadiums.
02:07 So nine stadiums in total will be used.
02:09 - So expectation of Malaysia
02:11 since the head coach is from Korea.
02:14 So we know that Korea team
02:16 is one of the largest team in Asia.
02:19 So on that maybe you have something,
02:21 your own thought on that.
02:23 - I think all the teams are very strong this year.
02:26 All the teams have big chance
02:29 of moving to the next round.
02:31 Malaysia is, of course, one of those
02:33 that will cause a lot of surprises, I think, for the teams.
02:39 - Right, so any general message to Malaysia fans
02:41 or to the national team who will be facing
02:44 the amazing Son Heung-min in the group stage
02:47 as well as West Asian opponents, Jordan and Bahrain?
02:51 - Yes, I think it's a very, very tough group for sure.
02:55 But anything can happen in football.
02:59 The entertainment, the experience of the country
03:02 coming to Qatar to watch the team
03:04 and enjoying other things as well
03:07 is the best part of any tournament.
03:09 So a message for the Malaysian people
03:12 to come and watch the tournament here in Qatar.
03:15 Everybody is welcome to watch and enjoy the time.
