Big week ahead for Global

Global faces its toughest stretch of the season with two important matches in the space of five days.

Global faces Stallion Sta. Lucia on Tuesday before heading to Singapore to face S-League side Warriors FC in the first round of the Singapore Cup on Saturday.

“It’s a tough game, Stallions, apart from their loss against us they have been consistent,” said Brian Reid after training on Monday.

“If we win (over Stallion) it puts us back in a good position so we need to make sure to focus and perform at a right level and with it get the result.”

This match will be different for Reid as he now has a full squad at his disposal and the result of tomorrow’s match will have a big impact on Global’s title hopes. Stallion is currently on an eight game winning streak.

“This is a game that’s going to have a big bearing on who wins the championship so we’re going to play to the highest level as we can,” said Reid.

Izzo El Habbib returns to the starting eleven after missing last week due to suspension.

“It’s good to have him available again, he scored the winner against Stallions last time, and hopefully he can do it again for us,” said Reid, referring to El Habbib.

The Scottish coach said they're focused on Stallion first before even thinking about Saturday’s match in Singapore.

“We want to focus on Stallion for now. We have to take it one game at a time and after tomorrow, then we can focus on Warriors, but for now we are thinking of (the match against) Stallion only,” said Reid.
