“Marcelinho plays as an attacking midfielder, but we use him as a striker. Marko [Sahanek] also will be more effective in that position. Still, we don’t have an option because of the injury of Deshorn Brown and Mapuia (Lalkhawpuimawia), so that’s why we put them up as a striker. Maybe Deshorn [Brown] will come back in the next game. We are all waiting for him,” Jamil added while speaking during the post-match press conference. You can watch it entirely above.
