Kuala Lumpur: DPR Korea will go into their meeting with Malaysia on Monday evening in buoyant mood, said coach Joern Andersen, after seeing his side pick up a morale-boosting win over Nelo Vingada’s struggling side on Friday.
The two teams face off against each other twice in four days and, with DPR Korea picking up a 4-1 win in the first of their games in Buriram in Thailand on Friday, the Norwegian is confident his players can build on the result.
“I think this game gives us some confidence,” said Andersen. “It was our first victory in a long time. We have played a lot of good matches and a lot of draws and we lost twice, so we didn’t have a lot of confidence.
“So this victory gives us confidence again because normally DPR Korea have a good strong team and recent results have not been so good so it was very important for us to get the victory to show the people that we have a good team and can win matches like that and against Hong Kong and other opponents.”
