Nute expressed confidence in the team’s effort throughout the season, stating, “We are going back to the drawing board; we have to review our game.” He highlighted the importance of making adjustments against strong opponents as they approach the quarter-finals. “We are focused on the next game—we don’t know who we are going to play, but it’s essential to prepare thoroughly,” he noted.
In their last match against Nadi, Nute praised his players for their resilience, acknowledging the competitive nature of the game and the challenge posed by Nadi’s lineup, which included several identified talents. “This was a very close game, and we stood our ground,” he affirmed. The coach reiterated that maintaining trust in their systems and teamwork will be crucial moving forward.
Suva’s quarter-final will take place at Churchill Park in Lautoka at 3 PM, where they aim to build on their winning momentum and secure a place in the semi-finals. The upcoming match is anticipated to be a thriller as Suva looks to advance in the tournament, riding high on the spirit of teamwork and determination that has characterized their season thus far.
