KUALA NERUS — Terengganu FC (TFC) players only get a one-day break for Hari Raya Aidilfitri as they prepare to take on Selangor on April 5.
The Turtles are currently fifth in the Super League standings with 32 points, while Selangor is second with 46 points. With Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) already crowned Super League champions for a record 11th consecutive time, Kuching City FC is third and Sabah is fourth, both with 36 points.
With three games to go and four points behind Kuching City FC and Sabah, Terengganu will need to win all their matches and hope for the others to slip in order to have a chance to finish in the top four.
“We are in a critical phase. We have already been overtaken by Kuching City FC and Sabah, who are both four points ahead of us.
“So, whether they like it or not, the players must sacrifice their Raya break this time to prepare for the crucial match against Selangor,” Terengganu head coach Badrul Afzan Razali said when contacted today.
Badrul Afzan, the former Terengganu midfielder, also reminded his men to watch what they eat during the festive season and continue to stay fit during their holidays.
He also urged his players to be more focused and disciplined if they were to win their remaining matches.
“Lose, and our chances of finishing fourth (in the Super League) are as good as gone… the same with our hopes in the Asean Club Championship. There is no margin for error in the next few matches,” said Badrul Afzan, adding that import striker Ivan Mamut will likely not play against Selangor due to fitness concerns. – March 30, 2025
