00:06The country's naturalization attack, Paolo Joshua,
00:09has brought back the Natsu Insa in the Harimau Malaya squad
00:13after two international friendly matches
00:15against Laos and India this month.
00:18On Tuesday, we met with Zulhami Zana Azam,
00:21who believes the presence of the Central General of the JDT
00:23can add value to the team
00:25in line with the player's sense of achievement.
00:31The Malaysian Football Association, FAM,
00:33announced that there will be 26 players
00:35for the national squad training camp
00:37which will start this Sunday.
00:39The Natsu's choice to steal the crown
00:41came after the last appearance
00:43against Bahrain in the Palau Asia campaign
00:45in Qatar last January.
00:47At that time, the country's veteran player
00:49received great criticism
00:51because of his poor performance
00:53compared to his performance with the JDT this time.
01:01We can see in the Champions League
01:03how good he is playing,
01:05how good JDT's performance.
01:07Natsu is a key player in the system of JDT right now,
01:11so I think it's quite important
01:13for the players in the national team squad
01:17to have him as a colleague, as a teammate,
01:21to collect some information from him,
01:23to collect some experience with him,
01:25so that definitely would be great
01:27to have him besides us again.
01:29The national squad is also strengthened
01:31with the presence of former captain Dion Kools
01:33who did not attend the national call last month
01:35due to family matters
01:37along with Muqairi Ajmal, Ubaidullah Shamsul,
01:39Fazili and Haziq Nazli.
01:41Meanwhile, E7 has no competition
01:43with the Laos team as the opponent of Harima Malaya,
01:45although it is said that it is not the standard
01:47of the national squad based on the 187 world rankings.
01:53So I think it's important to have this kind of game
01:56to see how we behave against this
02:01considering a lower ranking team.
02:04I think it's important also to have this kind of check
02:08to see how we behave against lowest ranking teams,
02:11to see how strong we are,
02:13especially in the attacking side.
02:14Also to coach Paul,
02:16see how can he change the team
02:19in case he needs to run after the result.
02:22So it's important to us
02:24to have this kind of games.
02:27But of course we are aiming for the Indian team
02:30that is a tough match
02:32and I think we need to prepare most for this game.
