"Mr. Didi has been an inspiration for us. He has been a good motivator and has been working closely with the players and the team. The co-operation has been very good from him"
He also noted that Huriyya would not stop from dhivehi league and would continue to keep up the hard work.
" We are the champions now and we have to play like champions. We should take each game very seriously and should work more harder to prove that point." The happy coach explained.
