“We are struggling so this game becomes more important to us if we are to survive the elims. We have a new import in Jason Forte. But our attitude is, the locals will have to take most of the responsibility and whatever the import contributes is just the bonus,” litanya ni Yeng Guiao.
“Chemistry flow is what is missing in our game. We hope we can get them back in time,” panapos niya.
