PETALING JAYA: One position that will be hotly contested in the national training camp for the World Cup 2022 and Asia Cup 2023 qualifiers is the rightback spot. Before Covid-19 struck and forced the postponement of the qualifiers, Matthew was the first choice but Syahmi believes he warrants a shot at playing in the slot too. Syahmi admits that there will be a fierce fight for the rightback position which to him is healthy and good for the team. We are now into our fifth day of training and all the trainees have adapted, ” said Syahmi. Cheng Hoe has played Syahmi on the leftback position to check his versatility.
