Kim Swee wants Rhinos to go for The Jugular against Turtles this Saturday

KOTA KINABALU, Sept 29 (Bernama) -- Sabah FC head coach, Datuk Ong Kim Swee does not want his team to drop any more points to ensure that The Rhinos continue to remain in the best group position in the Super League 2022 with only a few games left.

Thus, he called on his players to show their best performance in their clash against Terengganu FC at the Sultan Mizan Zianal Abidin Stadium, Gong Badak, Terengganu this Saturday.

"I hope that when we play against The Turtles this Saturday, we will get a positive result because we can no longer drop points for us to maintain our second place or be among the top teams in the league.

"Even though we did not a win in the last three games, a victory against Terengganu FC will certainly have a significant impact," he said in a statement today.

Kim Swee said he has made thorough preparations for Saturday's derby and that the long rest period the team had gave an opportunity to iron out weaknesses.

"All the players are now in top from to give a much better performance like we have shown before," he said.

In their previous three matches, Sabah only recorded draws against Kedah (1-1) and Kuala Lumpur (2-2) while they lost to Selangor (2-3).

Meanwhile, according to Kim Swee, currently only their imported striker Jose Embalo is still injured.

"We have players who are ready to take his place and whoever is fielded I hope can do the job to the best of his ability," he said.

Sabah FC are currently in second place with 36 points, behind Johor Darul Ta'zim FC who are leading with 43 points.
