Aidil Sharin pointed out that he will make the video calls with the players every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to discuss on their daily training, and with the coaching staff on every other day, to discuss either to execute plan A or B.
“If the COVID-19 situation in Malaysia improved in the near future, we will return to the normal training, and what we need after that is friendly matches before the Malaysian League resumes.
