But for tomorrow’s game, we have to prepare well because it is an important game where we want to win. Our Buriram United and Johor Darul Ta’zim are both good teams in ASEAN. Both want to advance to the next round for the reputation of Thailand and Malaysia. We only have Sasalak Haiprakhon who is suspended, which I think is too severe a punishment. But the rules are the rules.”
