Singapore reached it target of a semi-final & coach Raddy was delighted but warned the job is not even completed

To him, a semi-final in the Tiger Cup is not even half the job as the target should be the final & even the Tiger Cup itself so the team must not relaxed it guard.

He is a bit disappointed the team will now have to wait until December 29 for its semi-final match against the Group B winner, which had not yet been decided yet, as the momentum gained from the group match could be lost

But he agreed it is his job to ensure the momentum is not lost & instead gained even more pace in the semi-final.

When asked about the Indra card, Raddy replied he had wanted to take out Indra earlier when the team was already far in front at 3-0 but as he considered Indra to be a sensible player he decided to take Goh Tat Chuan out first as the midfielder was involved in a clash with a Cambodia player already.

Just when he was able to make his second switch to get Indra the Singapore & Home United striker got his booking & Raddy was disappointed

Raddy said he had a word with Indra about the incident & Indra told him he was too anxious to get on the scoreline & was regretting it now.

The matter had already happened & it is not the time to reflect on such matter & the team must learn to live with their decisions.
