KUALA LUMPUR: Despite winning the 2023 Federal Territories Minister’s Cup, Kuala Lumpur (KL) City FC head coach, Bojan Hodak, feels that his team needs more time to gel.

Hodak said that KL City, which has lined up several new faces, needs more matches to face the tough challenge in the Super League, which will open its curtain at the end of this month.

“For all parts, they need more matches to gel together. We are at 60 per cent (of preparation), so I’m 60 per cent happy,” he said after the Federal Territories Minister’s Cup clash at the Kuala Lumpur Football Stadium, Cheras.

KL City lifted the Cup for the second time on Saturday after beating Perak FC 3-0. The win made up for their defeat to Negeri Sembilan last year, following their victory in the inaugural edition in 2021.

Meanwhile, Hodak admitted that there are many shortcomings which the players need to improve.

“I think in midfield, we were not tight enough and we need to change this, attacking, finishing and final pass can be better,” he said.
