Golden Boot winner Safawi vows to fight for Kuching spot
KUALA LUMPUR: Safawi Rasid has the Golden Boot from the M-League Awards and the numbers to prove his resurgence.
Safawi Rasid, who won the Golden Boot at the M-League Awards, is determined to secure a starting position at Kuching City. Despite his impressive 14-goal performance for KL City last season, which earned him the top local scorer title, Safawi recognizes that his individual achievements do not guarantee a place in the new club's lineup.
He has joined Kuching City and faces stiff competition from a squad filled with talented players. Safawi emphasized that his Golden Boot award has fueled his motivation to earn his spot on the team. He stated, "Statistics like this cannot lie," highlighting the undeniable impact of his goal-scoring record. Safawi expressed his desire to participate in the inaugural FIFA Asean Cup, set to take place from September 21 to October 6, should he receive an opportunity.
The tournament would serve as an additional goal for him to pursue after his successful season. Before focusing on his new club, Safawi must first prove himself in a competitive environment. Kuching City has completed its pre-season preparations and will face Johor Darul Ta zim (JDT) in the Charity Shield match at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium on August 21, presenting Safawi with an immediate challenge.
