Difficult of Kelantan

Kelantan: Kelantan's Croatian coach Bojan Hodak has deemed the quarter-final tie against Arbil as one of the most difficult the Malaysian side could have got, with the AFC Cup debutants facing a long trip to Iraq to face the 2011 semi-finalists.

Speaking to www.the-afc.com Hodak, who led the Red Warriors to a 3-2 defeat of Malaysian rivals Terengganu 3-2 in the Round of 16, said:

“There were two reasons I would have liked to avoid Arbil; the first one is the distance as travelling from here (Kota Bharu) to Arbil requires lots of time and there will be fatigue concern and the other is a pure sporting reason,” he said.
