Di kubu lawan, kapten Selangor FC, Muhammad Faisal Abdul Halim, menginstruksikan rekan-rekannya untuk tampil tanpa beban guna membalikkan keadaan di markas Buriram United.

"For me, we’re already here in the final. We cannot just come here, finish the game, and go back like this.

We need to fight until the end for this cup and give a good fight to our opponent," kata Muhammad Faisal Abdul Halim dalam rekaman audio pasca-konferensi pers yang dilansir Bernama.

Sementara itu, Pelatih Kepala Selangor FC, Kim Pan-gon, tetap optimistis membalikkan situasi meskipun timnya tidak diperkuat oleh duo pilar internasional Yordania, Noor Al-Rawabdeh dan Mohammad Abualnadi, yang dipanggil tim nasional untuk persiapan Piala Dunia.

"It was a tough game in the first leg," kata Kim Pan-gon menceritakan jalannya pertandingan pekan lalu.

Mantan pelatih tim nasional Malaysia asal Korea Selatan tersebut mengungkapkan bahwa evaluasi mendalam telah dilakukan untuk memperbaiki kesalahan koordinasi dan menerapkan strategi baru demi mencetak gol cepat.

"Our performance in the first leg wasn't 100 per cent of what we have.

We have talked a lot and corrected some things, and I believe our players are fully confident that we can turn back the results," kata Kim Pan-gon.
