Former Maldives national football and New Radiant Coach Stoikov said that every match in the Wataniya Dhivehi League is tough and players have to fight at their best to win the match.
In an interview to maldivesoccer.com ahead of Friday's clash against the minnows, Kalhaidhoo, Stoikov said that the winner of each game is dependent on the person who is committed.
"If you notice the teams, except Victory all the teams are in the same level. The league is very competitive and there aren’t any easy games anymore. The players have to fight and be committed. The winner would be the team who is more committed and hard working", said Stoikov.
Stoikov also hinted that there might be 2 or 3 changes ahead of the game and there might be a shuffle in the midfield. New Radiant would be boosted by the return of their newly joined Liberian striker Puyol. He could not play against Maziya because the management did not receive his International Transfer Certificate (ITC).
New Radiant started the new season with a shocking 3-3 draw against Maziya. New Radiant and Kalhaidhoo game will kick off at 1600hrs MST.
