Male', MALDIVES – Victory Sports Clubs head Coach Ali Suzain stated that his side will work to concentrate on the weak points of Maziya Sports and Recreation in the third semifinal of Presidents Cup 2012.

Third semifinal match will be played between Victory who lost their first semifinal against New Radiant Sports Club and Maziya who beat VB Addu FC in the second semifinal.

Speaking to the media about the semifinal against Maziya, Victory’s Head Coach Ali Suzain praised Maziya for their superb performance throughout the football season. But Suzain believes that Maziya also has weak points and he said that those weak points will be focused by his side.

“Maziya’s attacking force is the best in the country at the moment. They got the best two strikers (Assadulla and Ammadey) who will keep our defenders on alert”.

“But they also have some weak points, which my side will focus most”.

Suzain who earlier criticized his goal keeper Mohamed Faisal for the goal scored by NRSCs goalkeeper Imran Mohamed backed him saying that Faisal will be in the starting lineup against Maziya.

“Anyone can make a mistake, but that doesn’t mean that he has to pay the cost by sitting in the bench”.

“It’s not about keeping him in the bench for just a second he lost his concentration, but it’s about motivating him not to repeat such mistakes”.

Speaking about the match, Maziya’s Head Coach Ismail Mahfooz (Imma) said that his side has to concentrate most on the tactical discipline of Victory.

“Victory’s tactical discipline is the thing we have to concentrate as they have got the best players”.

“Even though we don’t focus on individual players, players like Umair, Riley and Awilo are on our concentration list”.

Victory has won two games out of three they played against Maziya in the Season. Both these teams will face each other in the semifinals of the FA Cup.

Victory who has won the presidents Cup for a record number of 21 times.

The match will kick off at 2100rs.

Hopefully Assadulla and Ammadey will live up to the expectations of coach Suzain, who will deep down though wish the burden of his praise, will keep the pair misfiring tonight. In case if Victory wins and meet New Radiant in the final, I hope Dhagey and Tom will take note of Suzian’s generous compliment on Maziya duo, and prove him wrong about the best strikers in the country. Whichever way it could be no-win situation for Suzain.
