PETALING JAYA: Malaysian football followers are accustomed to seeing Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) winger Manuel Hidalgo operating on the flanks, but he is now enjoying a new role – as Harimau Malaya’s playmaker in the No. 10 jersey.
The 27-year-old made his debut for Malaysia after being given a starting berth in the team’s 3-0 win over Bangladesh in the opening Group A fixture of the FIFA Asean Cup at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on Friday.
