We can take home advantage – Stoykov

Male’, MALDIVES – New Radiant coach Iordan Stoykov has said that they can take home advantage against Hong Kong’s Kitchee in tomorrow’s meeting in their AFC Cup Group F tie at National Stadium.

“We are fully committed to defend our name. We can take home advantage and both the weather and the supporters will help us.”

“Football is unpredictable and we will see how things will go tomorrow.

He also said that it will be more difficult for them than the first leg.

“We are well prepared for this game, but I feel it will be more difficult than the first leg due to the availability of the two foreign player for Kitchee.” Stoykov said.

On the other hand his counterpart, Alex Chu said that the two Spanish players can help them to put them back on track.

“The two players who were injured in our first leg with New Radiant will start the game and it will really help us a lot.”

“We have four or five players who have played before in this stadium and that will absolutely be of benefit to us.”

“The temperature will be high and which won’t be a good thing for our team. If we can keep the ball and control the game, then I think we can get three points tomorrow.”
