Newly-naturalized player Liridon Krasniqi will have two matches to familiarize himself with the style of coach Tan Cheng Hoe as well as show his ability.

To prepare for the next round of the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers, the Malaysia Football Association has arranged for the national team a friendly match against Bahrain on March 22.

Four days later, they will make a trip to Al Maktoum Stadium in the sixth round of Group G World Cup 2022 qualifying round Asia.

The two matches above will be extremely important for Liridon Krasniqi, the Kosovo-origin midfielder who has just been naturalized and called up to the national team, but coach Tan Cheng Hoe has said he will have to be really excellent to survive.

Liridon Krasniqi will have to work hard if he wants to stay in the national team.

Midfielder Brendan Gan will not be able to play in the match against the UAE, so the possibility of Liridon Krasniqi having a Malaya Tiger debut is quite high.

Malaysia really wants Brendan Gan because he is a good player, hopefully his replacement can have a positive impact on the team.

Brendan Gan is very different from Liridon Krasniqi, each with their own style of play but the most important goal is to follow the team's tactics.

They are box-to-box players, as a coach, I find it really hard to compare the two.

But like what I mentioned, I want them to have teamwork and discipline. That is the ultimate requirement,” coach Tan Cheng Hoe shared.

At this time, in the table of Group G, Malaysia temporarily ranked second with 9 points, 2 points behind the leader of Vietnam.
