The early elimination of U23 Malaysia has angered the country’s fans. After the strong progress of the Malaysian national team, many people expected U23 Malaysia to make a similar breakthrough. However, they disappointed.

In the post-match press conference, Malaysia U23 coach Nafuzi Zain put his head on the table and shed tears right in front of the media. He choked up and shared: “We had planned carefully before the match.

In the first half, the whole team played a tight defense and waited for the opportunity to counterattack. In the second half, we pushed up the formation with the hope of scoring the decisive goal. Unfortunately, the team's efforts did not bring the desired results. I am very sad that our team could not reach the semi-finals of the tournament."

Although admitting that he was heartbroken at being eliminated, coach Nafuzi Zain still praised the whole team: “It was not easy to play in front of tens of thousands of home fans. However, the whole team showed great courage and fighting spirit.

The failure in this year's tournament is a valuable lesson for the whole team. This tournament is a good opportunity for the players to gain experience and train their physical strength. We will quickly stand up and aim for the qualifying round of the U23 Asian Cup. The failure will help the whole team become more mature."

Meanwhile, the New Straits Times (Malaysia) believes that Malaysia's youth football development is on the verge of collapse. They believe that in a few years, when the current generation of naturalized players retire, Malaysian football will reach a dead end without a replacement force.
