Right now, everyone is fully ready for tomorrow’s game.”

Regarding the advantage from last match’s win, Mark Jackson responded, “We have confidence in our team’s ability, but we won’t be complacent. We had a good week for recovery and practiced the game plan. We are full of energy and confidence, which the players have clearly shown, especially in the last two days of training.”
On the return of star striker Guilherme Bissoli, Mark Jackson said, “Guilherme Bissoli has resumed training, which is a great boost for the team. All other players are fit and ready to play in this match.”
Asked about Selangor FC missing two key players, Mark Jackson said, “Those two are important players for Selangor FC, but I’m confident their coach has a squad ready to step in and fill the gaps.”
