KUCHING: T-Team will be looking to avenge a 6-1 thrashing by Sarawak
in a Malaysia Cup match on Sept 4, 2012 at Stadium Negeri when they take
on the Crocs in a Super League fixture at Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah
Stadium tonight.
Looking back at the last four previous
encounters between the two teams, T-Team seems to have a slight upper
hand as they have won two, drawn once and lost once against Sarawak.
Both
teams had not played each other in the 2013 season as Sarawak were
playing in the Premier League after being relegated at the end of 2012
season and both teams having avoided each in the FA Cup and Malaysia Cup
competition that year.
But it is Sarawak who are looking on track
with their Super League campaign as they currently occupy third place
in the Super League standings with nine points while T-Team sit
dangerously rock bottom at 12th spot with four points after five
matches.
Despite the statistics, Sarawak head coach Robert Alberts
however insisted that the Crocs are facing a different team tonight and
that the record does not bother him or the team at all.
“It has
been quite a while that we haven’t faced T-Team and they have changed a
lot. Whatever it is, there is no way that this assignment will be an
easy one,” he admitted.
He stated his case as the team was
impressive during their season opener having defeated hot favourites for
the Super League title, JDT 1-0 at home.
Alberts was speaking to
The Borneo Post during the Crocs’ training session at the Stadium
Negeri, just before travelling off to Peninsular Malaysia in the
evening.
Coached by Albert’s former assistant Mohd Azraai Khor,
the T-Team often mixes it around a little bit in their attacking style
this season although they attack primarily through the flanks.
To
stop T-Team, Sarawak must hence do whatever it takes to cut off the ball
supply to their attackers if they were to come away victors in Kuala
Terengganu tonight.
“If they were given enough comfort to play
their game, they will pose a serious threat to us. I think we can go
home with the three points if we can disrupt their rhythm and style of
play,” said Alberts.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 8.45pm.
