Outstanding Reza ready for Black Emperor

Midfield will be at the centre of Shea's thinking as she prepares her tactics for Wednesday's final of the MMU Champions League 08/09.

The Antiseptic boss was full of praise for Reza, Luqman, Abit, Noxs and Anis after their graft and craft in the middle of the park helped the Antiseptic to initially dominate and ultimately beat many top teams this season.

All five were rewarded with a rest before the Antiseptic travelled to Stadium of Sloop on Wednesday.

"The midfield worked so hard against other opponents in the tournament, we decided to rest the five of them," said Shea after last week match.

Reza and Luqman is also being tipped to succeed the midfield position in the long term. The duo impressed Dettol manager said at Sunday's press conference: "I think they are going to stay there as a key player for the team, that’s my opinion. I think both of them are outstanding talent-got fantastic speed and strength."

The boss believes the Iranian and Anak jati Terengganu can get even better as they gets more big games under their belt - "Luqman is still only 19 where else Reza is only 24."

Shea also awaits Reza's and Luqman's first Dettol goal after a few games but her press conference quip of “We’re all lighting candles for that!" suggests that's not a serious concern!
