“Even though our rankings are better, we still think this match is tough especially when it’s the first match where both teams want to win.” Yazguly, said.
“Honestly, I admit playing three group stage matches in a week is not an easy thing especially when we can’t do the preparations as expected.
“
“What is important, I hope the players can give their best and ignore the status of the opposing team as the host who has the advantage of playing in front of their own supporters,”
