Perak FC head coach Datuk Lim Teong Kim
He felt that Perak the match should not have been lost by such a big margin after witnessing his players giving a satisfactory performance to rival KL City in the pre-season clash at the Kuala Lumpur Football Stadium in Cheras.
"For those who were not at the stadium to watch the match, looking at the score they would think it was an easy win for KL City. I am very disappointed with the result, but not with the way we played, but football is about results.
"Of course I am disappointed, but not the way the team played. Disappointed with the margin of the defeat. The score should not have been 3-0, as if we were a very weak team,” he said at a post-match press conference here last night.
However, Teong Kim was not panicking, stating that he was committed to forming the best squad to make Perak a team capable of providing competition in the Malaysian Super League this season.
"I need to give them time to become more mature players, and this will take a while because this cannot be forced onto them. This is the process and it is up to the wisdom of the players. I cannot impose on them because when you do that on the player they will become damaged goods.
"We need to be patient so that they learn from their mistakes; they played well but we also needed to win, not just play beautifully,” he said.
Perak will start the Malaysian Super League campaign this season against Kedah Darul Aman FC at the Perak Stadium, Ipoh on 25 Feb.- BERNAMA
