KUCHING, Nov 9: Selangor FC head coach Kim Pan Gon has called on the Malaysian Football League (MFL) to investigate an incident involving Kuching City FC (KCFC) player Nazmi Faiz, who allegedly approached the opposing team’s bench and triggered a commotion.
In a TVS report, Pan Gon stressed that approaching the opposing team’s technical area was inappropriate.
“MFL needs to conduct an investigation. We must ensure that the spirit of sportsmanship is upheld.
“Winning or losing is not the main issue, but we must respect one another,” he said during a press conference following the second-leg semi-final match at Stadium Taha Ariffin here on Sunday (Nov 8).
Commenting further, Pan Gon also questioned the disciplinary action taken against his players and team officials involved in the commotion and maintained that they acted only to prevent the situation from escalating.
“I don’t think our players and staff deserved to receive any red cards. If they had not intervened, I myself do not know what might have happened,” he added.
Meanwhile, Pan Gon declined to comment further on his team’s defeat to Kuching City FC.
He said the match itself was enough for those who watched it to draw their own conclusions.
