PETALING JAYA: Success may have come instantly for Malaysian football team interim coach Pau Marti Vicente after he guided the Harimau Malaya to Merdeka Tournament glory on Sunday but the Spaniard chose not to celebrate much.

As the players rejoiced with the trophy at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil after their 1-0 win over Lebanon in the final, Vicente was a pensive figure in the background with other things on his mind.
