S’wak all out to collect points in Pahang today
KUCHING: Acting head coach of Sarawak squad, Pengiran Bala admitted that a heavy task await his players to collect any points against Pahang for the Super League 2017 campaign at Stadium Darul Makmur today.
Pengiran said it is necessary for him to prepare a strategy and a careful planning to ensure the mission of winning points in this weekend’s match.
“From the analysis we’ve made, Pahang upfront are very powerful and for that we should be more cautious.
“In other words, it is necessary for me to tighten the defence department so that Pahang will have no room to score,” said Pengiran yesterday.
According to Pengiran, there is a slight weakness in the team’s defence machinery to face the ‘Tok Gajah’ squad because of the absence of team captain (Ronny Harun) will not be playing because of injury.
However, added Pengiran, with the existing line-up he is optimistic that the problem can be overcome.
Pengiran said Sarawak will strive to win the match to get them out of the relegation zone.
Currently, Sarawak are 11th in the standings, collecting 17 points behind closest rivals Kelantan and Melaka United who occupy 9th and 10th placings respectively with 18 points each after 19 matches.
