Mauroof believes tonight's game will be a tough one
Male',
MALDIVES - Victory will face Hurriyya sports club in tonight's FA Cup clash. Hurriyya who had a bad luck in the draw's of the FA Cup were drawn with the mighty Victory, who are in a very good form.
Hurriyya's coach Vladamir Goffa said that he hopes that Lady Luck would be in their side in tonight's game.
“We have been having bad luck in FA Cup draws and in the game against Valencia and referee's decisions against Selangor. So I hope tonight the scene would change and lady luck would be in our favour”
Goffa again left out his frustration on the pitch and said that it's look like moon land now.
‘We haven't been practicing any passing game or crossing. It's very tough on the pitch”
When Hurriyya comes to face the mighty giants, keeper's injury has been the key issue.
“Areesh couldn't join the practices because of his job. We have only Ishaaq, and he would obviously get tired soon. So we cannot practice shooting or play games for a long period” explained the frustrated coach.
But to the delight, Abdullah Ibrahim has joined the practice yesterday and Shibau 4 days ago. But on the other hand, Shinaz and Riyaz are still doubtful for the game.
Meanwhile, Victory's coach Mauroof (Maatey) explained that it would be a tough but exciting match.
“It would be very tough. But we would go out for a win”
Mattey also explained that the biggest problem they will face in tonight's game would be the suspensions and the injuries.
‘Issey is very doubtful for tonight's game. We also have two players who suspended due to the red cards”
So with all the injuries and the suspensions, both these clubs would be fighting for a place in the semi finals. One of these teams would be surely dropped off from the tournament.
