KOTA BHARU, April 25 (Bernama) -- Kelantan The Real Warriors FC (TRW) are in real danger of being relegated from the Super League next season following their latest defeat.
Assistant head coach Zairul Fitree Ishak said the pressure has intensified following a string of defeats, including the 6-0 thrashing by Selangor FC at the Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium last night.
He said the squad now have only two matches left -- against Johor Darul Ta’zim FC and Negeri Sembilan FC -- which will determine whether they can stay in the top flight or drop to a lower division.
“This is a critical situation as the final two matches are not easy, especially against some of the strongest teams in the league at the moment,” he told reporters after the match.
After 22 matches, TRW sit 12th in the league with 15 points from four wins, three draws and 15 defeats.
Zairul Fitree admitted his team are also relying on results elsewhere to remain in the Super League next season.
“The final match against Negeri Sembilan is very important and we will strive to get maximum points to improve our position,” he said.
He also expressed disappointment over his team’s defence, which lasted only 30 minutes before crumbling to concede six goals.
