00:00He will go down with a mission to win when he visits Timor-Leste in the 2nd group A of the PLMx2024 in Rabu.
00:09And for the manager of Harimau Malaya, Paumarti Vicente,
00:13even though Timor-Leste has a bad record in Bukit Jalil after being humiliated by Thailand 10-0 in the opening match last year,
00:22it is not a guarantee for the line of players to lower their opponents' efforts.
00:29Preparation has been very short, no time to train, so no friendly games.
00:35We have to travel to Cambodia, travel back.
00:38All this we know is not an ideal situation, but I think our players are prepared, we are prepared,
00:43and we are facing this next game with high motivation.
00:47I feel we cannot think on how many goals.
00:50We need to think first, we have to win.
00:53I think if we approach the game like this, with high intensity, high attitude from the start,
01:00I think any team coming here, it doesn't matter if it's lower ranking or higher ranking,
01:05we need to think that we will win.
01:09So this is the mentality, and I think that's why also I really was looking to play at home.
01:15I think we play at home with this stadium, I think it's an advantage for us,
01:19and at the end the ranking of opposite team is not the difference, the difference is how we play.
01:25Meanwhile, at the training camp, the coach Simon Elisseche, without protecting himself,
01:30admits that it is a difficult task, a difficult task for his team.
01:33But he insisted that they will not give an easy match for Malaysia,
01:37while hoping to at least steal a look at the opponent's place.
01:43If we draw, good things.
01:47If we win, of course better.
01:50If we lose, but we play better than the last game, will be good also for us.
01:57Because Timor-Leste, in our history, no one game won in this competition.
02:09We want to grow, we want to improve, and we want to make history also, of course.
02:17If we can get a point in this competition, it will be the best result for us,
02:26and we can improve with that for the future.
