Syafiq wants to make Asiad team on merit after World Cup sacrifice


Key player: Syed Syafiq Syed Mohd Cholan is still part of national coach A. Arulselvaraj’s Asiad plans.

PETALING JAYA: Syed Syafiq Syed Mohd Cholan may have taken a huge gamble by leaving the Malaysian Tigers during the crucial build-up towards the World Cup next year but the defender is ready to fight for his place in the Asian Games next year.

Syafiq, who has 95 international caps, scored for Malaysia in the final where the South Koreans delivered the killer blow with a 2-1 victory in May.
