SEPANG: All the national Under-23 squad players need to acclimatise themselves with South Korea’s cold weather before they take up the challenge of the 2018 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under-23 Championship in China next month. However, Kim Swee admits that the players will need time to adapt to the weather, and he expects that the players will be able to acclimatise themselves in three or four days after arriving there. “What I want to see during the friendly matches is the players able to follow instructions and play well in the cold weather which is the main criteria. “Whatever it is, I know the players need three to four days to get used to such weather conditions, and after that we will see each player’s progress as we need to focus on our approach for the matches and what we need to do,” he said. “I only want to think positive and if there are any problems or issues that crop up while we’re in South Korea, we have alternative contingency plans in place,” he said.
