| Keeper vows to atone for errors Posted: 08 Jun 2011 10:02 AM PDT 2011/06/08  Sarbinee Allawee has promised to make amends for the poor showing against Kelantan on Monday by trying his best to keep a clean sheet in the final. The Terengganu goalkeeper said the home defeats to Kedah and Kelantan were a humbling experience but his team will learn from the experience. "We will be playing in the FA Cup final against Kelantan on Saturday and I believe we have every chance in the world to bring the trophy back home.
The 25-year-old, who is also the national goalkeeper, admitted he had a game to forget in the match against Kelantan after making several judgement errors. "I feel bad for the fans who filled the stadium to the brim to support us but it just was not our night.
Muhaimin injured his knee in the collision and will miss the FA Cup final and the two remaining matches in the Super League. Sarbinee however promised to make amends by trying his best to keep a clean sheet in the final at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
"We should be a lot more fluid when pressing forward as (attacking midfielder) Ashaari (Shamsudin) is also back in the team after serving his suspension," said the Pulau Duyong-born who has yet to taste football glory with Terengganu. He said he was still in school when Terengganu won the FA Cup in 2001 and the Malaysia Cup a year later. "Although I have won the Sea Games gold medal and the AFF Suzuki Cup with the national team, I know that it will not be the same as winning a major trophy for my home state. "I have a chance to do it now and I am not letting it go to waste," he said. Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price. |
