Coach Kim Pan-gon of the Malaysian national soccer team has had a major setback in preparation for the second Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-Central America World Cup. The reason for this is absurd in Kim’s situation. Terrorism targeting key players has taken place.
Malaysia, led by head coach Kim, will face Taiwan in the sixth round of the 6th round, which will be held at Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur at 10 p.m. on the 11th after playing the 5th round of Group D in the second Asian qualifying round at Bishkek Spartak Stadium in Bishkek on the 7th (Korean time).
If the team wins in away matches in Kyrgyzstan in the fifth round, it will be able to advance to the Asian qualifying round for the first time in the history of Malaysian soccer, which means it must stage all-out efforts. However, ahead of the two major matches in June, an unexpected negative development occurred. Two strikers had to be excluded from the two matches.
The person involved is Akhjar Rashid, a member of Trenggannou, and Faisal Halim, who humiliated Korean soccer by showing Cristiano Ronaldo’s signature celebration after scoring goals that mocked Cho Hyun-woo and Kim Min-jae in the 2023 AFC Qatar Asian Cup Korean match. 먹튀검증
“The two players are injured. But they are not common injuries. Rashid was injured by a robber, and Halim was horrifically terrorized by the 酸.
On his way home from training three days ago, he was robbed of money by two masked robbers and beaten in the head and legs. Halim suffered severe second-degree burns to his left arm, back and back after being hit by an unidentified person in a shopping mall parking lot near his home on Saturday evening.
The problem is that the culprits of these two cases are unknown. There are also suspicions that it may be a terrorist attack aimed at something, given that something that is difficult to happen once occurred at the same time.
Both players are popular stars in Malaysia and Kim Pan-gon’s favorite strikers. Not to mention Halim, who showed his presence in the Asian Cup match against Korea, he expressed his concern over the incident in a telephone conversation with on the 5th. In particular, Halim is a player who had a meeting two days before the incident, so it is a big shock for Kim.
Kim uploaded a photo of the two players on his social media and left a message saying, “Get well soon.” Many Malaysian fans are posting one comment after another, saying, “Take care of yourself.” A significant number of Malaysian fans are concerned about Kim’s safety as they believe that the latest attack on a soccer player is intentional.
Meanwhile, Malaysian police have received the case and are making efforts to investigate. Moreover, the situation is likely to escalate as even a lawmaker from Selangor FC, where Asian Cup star Halim belongs, is calling for a strong investigation. Coach Kim has to find alternatives to fill the gap between the two players for the three weeks remaining until the two consecutive games in June.
