Kelantan coach Irfan rues transfer ban after 9-0 loss to JDT
JOHOR BARU: Kelantan Red Warrior coach Irfan Bakti Abu Salim conceded that his side's 9-0 thrashing by Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) in their Super League match at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium on Wednesday was unavoidable.
Kelantan coach Irfan Bakti expressed disappointment over his team's 9-0 loss to Johor Darul Ta zim (JDT) in the Super League match. The experienced coach attributed the heavy defeat to FIFA's transfer ban, which prevented Kelantan from signing new players and forced him to rely on inexperienced squad members. Irfan also highlighted the burden on the current management and main sponsor due to past managerial mistakes.
Only two players have Super League experience, but they could not cope with JDT's relentless attacks. Despite the loss, Irfan urged the management to resolve the transfer ban promptly and expressed hope for a victorious upcoming match against Kuching City. JDT coach Xisco Munoz, while acknowledging his team's dominant victory, cautioned against complacency and emphasized the need for maintaining high standards throughout the league season.
