Next Match
"I hope that with the return of key players like Alvaro Silva and Liridon Krasniqi, it can make the team stronger. Every coach wants to field their best players to play the way they want. That is also my wish to see the best Kedah line-up get onto the pitch against PKNS."
"We must remain wary of PKNS who have good and experienced local players like Safee Sali and Mahalli Jasuli. Playing them away will be a tough test but I'm sure we will be able to give them a good fight," said Marcote in a Berita Harian report.
The task facing the Red Eagles is not an easy one as they will go up against the team who are the league leaders prior to the start Round 4 of the Super League.
K. Rajagopal's side are one of two teams left still to be beaten this season and that itself is already an indication of the tough task that lies await.
