selangor coach edgar baldasso speaks ahead of the big match with jdt

A big game coming up against JDT, how important is it to get the win and keep the 100% record going?

Yeah, tomorrow we have one big derby here, so always is a pleasure to play this type of games with the support of the fans, here, and you know that have a big quality on the court.

Last three games, so we created so far one good advantage for arriving maybe better situations, but you know how hard can be this challenge. So I think our focus is play good. First a minute we need to start good, and minute by minute playing in our best condition.

You’ve lost out to JDT in the last two seasons, what’s been the main difference from your side this season?

Yeah, unfortunately changed the format because maybe in different format this year will be different so far, but I'm just talking about this, right? We know how it is and the playoff is nice to play. Always they have here good teams and good projects. But same, you are creating there in Selangor, season by season, increasing new thing and improving our level. And this is what we can see during the whole season here. So the focus is always reduce this pressure and play the game. If you play the game and understand what is important and follow the principles, you'll be relaxed with the score when finished.

Marlon has been a great addition, how pleased are you with his overall impact on the club?

I already spoke many times about Marlon, he's more than one simple player or simple or how he can play. He is one leader and can help many players, many guys, organizing. He works very hard, it's a great example for young players. So for a winner team this is very important, the quality, but maybe the experience is still more important inside the group.

This is probably your best chance to win the MPFL, how special would that be for you and the team?

Maybe it's the best chance for win, but we need to understand that when finish this stage start 0-0 in the same line, all cars in the same line. So we are doing what is possible to do in this stage, trying to finish in the first place and maybe have one small advantage in the future. But you really know how difficult it will be until the end. So now our focus is in this stage. When arrive the playoffs start from zero, I need to arrive very strong in that moment.
