00:00This is the development of the Malaysian Hockey League 2025.
00:04The head coach of TNB Thunderbolts, Kaliswaran Muniandi,
00:07forbade his control squad to respect the ranks of TNB's national team on Thursday.
00:13This is because Thunderbolts ranks young players under 21 years of age.
00:17As a result of cooperation, four schools were promoted under the TNB Development Programme.
00:23Kaliswaran's demand is aimed at challenging his control squad,
00:27which is also the best youth team in the country.
00:31Last season, Thunderbolts lost 0-6 to TNB,
00:34although realistically it was difficult to present the real challenge.
00:38However, the challenge was a test of the players' character.
00:42This is a hockey game.
00:45In Padang, there is no mercy for me.
00:49Outside Padang, your respect for the seniors is different.
00:52So you have to be brave.
00:54Young players have self-confidence.
00:58If they have high self-confidence, they can compete with anyone.
01:02My job and that of Coach Azlan Bakar is to give them confidence
01:07that they can play hockey, have high skills,
01:12and can compete with the top players in this league.
01:15Although our national players and international players in other teams,
01:20my players are no less.
01:22They have self-confidence and self-belief.
01:26They can play and they have to be brave.
01:30TNB has lost the first game,
01:32so they will come full swing, full press.
01:36They will try to win,
01:38with a big goal to boost their spirits.
01:41So we have to be ready in every angle.
01:43It's a big task, but I think we will manage it.
01:48I have confidence in my players, so I think we will manage it.
