"Our approach is clear: one game at a time. For tomorrow's match (today), the target is three points, building on the momentum we've established," Mahfizul stated. He also cautioned the team to be wary of Penang's tactical approach, particularly their utilization of wingers and wing-backs from both flanks.
The home advantage at the MBPJ Stadium is a significant factor for the 'Gergasi Merah' (Red Giants) as the league season nears its end. Mahfizul added that the players must fully leverage playing on home turf to ensure they do not miss out on the crucial three points. In their previous encounter this season, Selangor FC secured a decisive 5-1 victory against Penang FC, managed by Wan Rohaimi Wan Ismail.
We need to be vigilant and cautious of Penang's tactical approach, as they will surely utilize their wingers and wing-backs from the left and right.
