POST MATCH CONFERENCE

The post-match conference after Saturday's game saw mixed reactions about the team, which scored first, only to lose 1-4 eventually.

Held at Saffron International Prata House, here's a summary of what the skipper, and 5 others, had to say.

Asked about breaking his goal duct, Hafriz was all smiles saying, "I spoke to Izman before the game, and told him I was aiming for three. Still, one is good enough."

Izman was in the limelight himself, earning his name a place in the referee's book with a lunging tackle on the opposite left winger.

"I felt good about the tackle. I don't know if I got the ball, but I felt it was a strong and fair challenge." 

Television replays showed Izman clearly winning the ball first, before generously winning the opponents legs as well.

Izman's elder brother, senior player Izzat, was cool about the game.

"The team played okay. Apart from two to three of their better players, I felt that we could actually match them men to men. It was generally defensive lapse that cost us a victory, or at least a draw."

Regarding the team's performance, skipper Wee Yang said, "It was not the best of games."

Echoing the same view, Firdaus added, "What is pretty obvious now is, the team needs regular training in order to have any chance of better luck."

When probed about his decision to leave the field midway through the second half, Wee Yang replied, "I just felt I needed a break at that point of time. My morale was on a low, and I felt it was best for the team if Siu Sing had stood between the posts instead."

Amin eventually replaced him in goal.

"I don't find much joy now," Wee Yang added, his words depicting a demoralised man.

Munjen needs to rally behind their skipper for now, and they need a better result soon.
