Singapore have not given up the fight to win a place in the 2011 Asian
Cup despite their 3-1 loss at home to Thailand on the weekend.
That result leaves Singapore in third place with three points from three games, two behind Thailand. A defeat in Bangkok would virtually end Singapore's chances though striker Aleksandar Duric is feeling optimistic.
“I believe that we have the same chance with Thailand of making the Asian Cup in 2011. We should not feel too disappointed with the loss we conceded in our last game,” said Duric.
“I admit that we did not play as well as we had hoped in the first half. But once we got into the rhythm, we just did not convert the chances we created. But then, this is football,” said Duric, who has been the S-League’s top scorer for three seasons in a row.
“We managed to be competitive in the second half and the presence of Khairul (Amri) as well as Indra (Sahdan Daud) added pressure on the opponent. But unfortunately, this caused our defence to be a little in the open and that allowed Thailand to capitalize.”
