TIME FOR SEA GAMES SQUAD: Myanmar defender Han Win
Aung (C) attempts to drive past midfielder Si Thu Than (2L)
during a training session for the Myanmar under-23 squad at
Aung San Stadium, Yangon, on November 8. Myanmar head coach
Marcos Falopa will this week narrow down the squad from 22
players to the final 20 he will take to the Southeast Asian
Games in Korat, Thailand, next month. The Brazilian manager
said 14 members of the current under-23 squad remain from
the team that faced China in Myanmar’s World Cup qualifying
matches last month. And while those games ended in 7-0 and
4-0 defeats for Myanmar, Falopa said he was confident about
the team’s chances at the December 6-15 SEA Games, where
he will employ a 3-5-2 formation instead of the 4-3-3 approach
he used against China. Myanmar has been drawn in Group A alongside
Thailand, Indonesia and Cambodia, while Group B comprises
Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and Laos.
