Savaya stated that he was nonetheless proud regardless of having to accept silver contemplating how quick Cambodia\u2014replete with naturalized gamers\u2014ready for the SEA Games.<\/p>\n

[\u201cW]e came in like, it was literally four days before the SEA Games that\u2019s why I\u2019m proud of (the players),\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cFour days of preparation, [and] you come [in] and beat a lot of teams preparing at least for at least two years or 3 years they\u2019ve been together? I\u2019m proud of all of them, even the players who didn\u2019t play,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
