F&F Defender Riza Relishing First Team Opportunity

F&F young Kedahan defender is looking forward to an opportunity to prove his worth in the Champions League next week.

F&F will be attempting to improve their game after a goalless draw against Phlamez when they face Dettol FC [11 March] that will be a much anticipated match up.

A tough task is further complicated by the fact that F&F players have other commitment, with at least an eye on MASUM intervarsity league and also Prima Futsal tournament. The players are tired and in need a long holiday after this season are over hoping to end this season on a high.

Young full-back Riza, already a full Kedahan state player at the tender age of 19, feels that the selection gives squad players like him a real chance to impress, especially as a good performance also provides a chance of place in the squad for coming matches.

"Whatever team gets selected [on 11 March] it's a great chance for us," Riza told the club's official blog."It's a big game. The fans will get behind us and hopefully we'll make it an event to remember at MMU."Any game you play is important and this is a big one, the match-up against Dettol FC, a chance to progress, you need to take any chance to impress.

"For the 11 players, who start against Dettol, only one game will matter and that's the game we face. We can't look forward, we've a job to do because we want to progress."The Kedahan is certainly not underestimating match-up against Dettol, though. “It will be tough, we've seen how good they were in the friendlies," Riza added.

"We experienced something similar in the League last season - if you get a goal you can build momentum and you saw what happened."We need to get at them from the first whistle and take it from there. If we are positive and believe we can win, we've got every chance."
