MANJUNG: Perak coach Yusri Che Lah has urged his players to enhance their game play if the team aim to progress further and contend for the Malaysia Cup title this season.
While relieved by their 3-1 victory over Kelantan at the Manjung Municipal Council Stadium on Saturday, Yusri acknowledged that there is still room for improvement to ensure the Seladang’s continued success.
“The players need to be smarter in controlling the game and capitalising on every opportunity. Even though we won, I feel the performance was not quite up to the mark as the home team.
“Nevertheless, I commend the players for advancing past the round of 16 and into the quarter-finals, but we must remain alert as December’s schedule is quite packed,” he told the post-match press conference.
Following their dominant 3-0 win in the first leg at the Petaling Jaya City Council Stadium (MBPJ) last week, The Bos Gaurus secured their spot in the 2024-25 Malaysia Cup quarter-finals with a 6-1 aggregate victory.
The result sets Perak up to face either Selangor or Pahang. — Bernama
