| Coach Elavarasan confident of leading Terengganu into semis in his first season Posted: 03 Apr 2013 08:33 AM PDT KUALA TERENGGANU, April 3 — Terengganu coach E. Elavarasan is confident of leading his team into the FA Cup semifinal in his first season with the team. Terengganu face former champion Negeri Sembilan in a home and away quarterfinal match scheduled on April 6 at the Paroi Stadium in Seremban and April 16 at the Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah Stadium in Kuala Terengganu. Playing away first will give Terengganu a slight advantage as the return leg will be played on home soil. "The team is showing good form in the Super League and I am confident we can carry the momentum into the FA Cup," he told Bernama. Elavarasan, a former Selangor stalwart who also played for Public Bank, said he would be able to field his first choice players against Negeri Sembilan after having to miss the services of a number of senior players due to injuries. "However, we are not going to underestimate Negeri Sembilan although the former Malaysia Cup champions are languishing in the bottom of the Super League table because the FA Cup is a new ball game altogether," he said.— Bernama |
