“At the moment he is not playing at his best and he is giving maybe 60%. But I know he will do his magic soon and I hope it will be against Pahang this Tuesday.”

“I am happy to have a player like Ashfaq, I saw his skills from youtube and I know he will bring an earthquake to Malaysian football one day. He has that quality. Malaysian football lovers would love to see his magic.”

“I believe that a player who has scored that much goals will have the quality to score that much in Malaysia. And still he is the best to me and I know he will show something here in Malaysia.”
