Wan Jamak: “I’m the coach and they need
to get back to winning ways”.
After
seeing his Kedah team slumped to fourth home defeat in the Super League, Kedah
coach Wan Jamak Wan Hassan indicates that there will be changes to his
team.
Kedah produced a lethargic performance on their home turf and
was deservedly beaten by PKNS FC. Helmi Youssaef, Nizaruddin Yusof and Rudie
Ramli strikes were only replied by a penalty from Vedran Gerc. Wan Jamak was
calm during the interview but could not hide his disappointment.
“We made a few changes coming into the match because of the
injuries and suspensions. It was small individual mistakes that cost us the
game.” He said.
“After this, I’m going to meet the players individually to
assess their performances. By doing so, we’ll be able to analyze what’s good
and what’s not from their performances so far,” he added.
The coach was also critical in his assessment of his players: “If
necessary, I’ll remind them that I’m their coach and they need to get back on
to winning ways. They need to (strive to win).” Meanwhile PKNS coach Haji Abdul
Rahman Ibrahim chose to comment on the lengthy break of the Super League. The
league will be on break for a month and the former national coach wasn’t really
pleased with it. “I don’t prefer (the break) because we are playing well
tonight," said Haji Abdul Rahman Ibrahim.
"The long holiday could cost us as we might be losing our
momentum. After a month’s break, we’ll be playing every three days and that
could affect the performance of the players.” When asked about the performance
of the players for the night, Haji Abdul Rahman was pleased that his players
managed to get a result.
“To be honest, it was a drab match tonight," he told
Goal.com. "But we are thankful that we managed to get a result here. We came
here on the back of three consecutive losses. The pressure was high for the
players and this win could give them (the players) a moral boost.”
