Negeri Sembilan FC (NSFC) will be aiming to bounce back to winning ways when they take on Imigresen FC in a Malaysia Super League fixture at the Negeri Pulau Pinang Stadium in Batu Kawan tomorrow evening.

Fresh from a disappointing defeat to Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) FC in the FA Cup Round of 16 in Selayang, the Hobin Jang Hobin squad are determined to deliver a stronger performance in pursuit of their second league victory of the season.

Khuzaimi: “We Need Spirit and Focus”

Team captain Ahmad Khuzaimi Piee expressed hope that his teammates will step onto the pitch with high confidence and fighting spirit to secure a positive result.

“Playing away from home is never easy, but a win is possible if every player executes their responsibilities well. Any weakness or mistake from previous matches must be avoided as it can disrupt our rhythm and overall game plan,” said Khuzaimi.

The former Harimau Malaya defender, who has recovered from his pre-season injury, also stressed the importance of not underestimating their opponents.

“We cannot treat Imigresen FC as just a new team in the league. They have their own strengths and deserve respect. Any lapse in focus could cost us dearly. We need to remain alert to their tactical approach and translate the coach’s instructions into action effectively,” he added.

Respecting the Opponent

Led by head coach Yusri Che Lah, Imigresen FC have shown promise despite being newcomers to the league. Khuzaimi noted that NSFC must prepare thoroughly and maintain discipline to overcome the challenge.

With coach Nidzam Jamil guiding the squad, Negeri Sembilan will look to build on their encouraging league performances so far while learning from recent setbacks, as they continue their quest for consistency in the Super League.
