KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 (Bernama) -- National hockey coach Sarjit Singh is satisfied with his players’ performance after Malaysia clinched third place in the 2025 Men’s Hockey Asia Cup.
Although the Speedy Tigers did not meet their target to reach the final, he said the team showed steady progress throughout the tournament.
“We scored 33 goals and conceded 11, averaging 4.7 goals per match. Our player, Mohamad Akhimullah Anuar Esook, also emerged as the top scorer with 12 goals.
“I think the boys are improving, but we need to get better and better. At the moment, we are on the right track,” he said in a video shared by the Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC) yesterday.
Sarjit also expressed pride in his team for preserving Malaysia’s world ranking at 12th after defeating China 4-1 in the third-place playoff at Bihar University Hockey Stadium in India.
He added that the ranking would give Malaysia an advantage in the World Cup Qualifiers next year.
