Not only that, I’m also happy that the players were able to overcome their nervousness on the first day. Moreover, we managed to win against a strong team like Lion City Sailors. For me, them being able to come here and get playing experience is very valuable.

Meanwhile, one of MilkLife Strikers’ scorers, Ika Wonda, said she was happy to start the tournament with a positive result. She said the win was the fruit of the hard work of all the players during the training camp.
