ISKANDAR PUTERI, Dec 1 (Bernama) – Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) head coach Hector Bidoglio wants his players to remain focused to ensure victory in all Malaysia Cup matches.
He said the Malaysia Cup is an important competition for the Southern Tigers as they aim to defend their title.
"We need to stay focused and continue to grow, as well as improve skills.
"We also need to play better in terms of high-intensity gameplay to win every match in this tournament," he told a press conference after their match against Kuala Lumpur Rovers (KL Rovers) in the second leg of the Round of 16 at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium, here last night.
At the same time, he expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, who crushed KL Rovers with a 9-0 aggregate win to advance to the quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, KL Rovers assistant head coach Iqbal Hanafi Masduki said his players gave their best despite being tired.
"The players have given 100 percent, we are very grateful because they performed well and this is an experience to go through the A1 Semi Pro League where we will meet the Bukit Tambun team, next week.
"We hope this performance can be maintained because it is a valuable experience especially for young players who have the opportunity to play this time," he said.
