Aidil vows to bounce back at home against Gangwon
KUALA LUMPUR: Kuching City coach Aidil Sharin Sahak believes home advantage can help his side turn the tables on Gangwon when the two teams meet again in the AFC Champions League Two (ACL 2) on Nov 5.
Kuching City coach Aidil Sharin Sahak anticipates home advantage will aid his side's quest for a comeback against Gangwon in the upcoming AFC Champions League Two (ACL 2) match on Nov 5. The Cats suffered a 1-0 defeat to the South Korean side in Gangneung on Thursday, but Aidil remains optimistic about his team's fighting spirit following the loss.
"My boys fought. You could see on the pitch that they never gave up after going 1-0 down," he stated in a post-match press conference. Aidil emphasized that Kuching didn't merely defend during the match but rather released the pressure and played their usual game. While acknowledging Gangwon's technical prowess as one of Asia's top teams, Aidil believes the experience will serve as a valuable learning opportunity for his players.
Currently sitting bottom of Group H with a single point from three matches, Kuching faces a rematch against Gangwon at home, where the coach anticipates a different contest. "Although we lost 1-0, we will play against them at our home ground. I think it will definitely be a different game," he concluded.
