Seasoned campaigner Mohd Marzuki Yusof was just an up-and-coming player when Terengganu last won the Malaysia Cup 10 years ago under coach Mat Zan Mat Aris.
This time, however, the Turtles’ inspirational captain has the chance to lead his team to glory again when Terengganu meet Negri Sembilan in the final at the Shah Alam Stadium on Saturday.
He admitted that winning the Malaysia Cup in 2001 was the best moment of his football career, though he is still hungry for another title.
“This time it will be extra special as I am the captain. I am lucky to have the chance to lift the most coveted Cup in the country once more after first winning it as a rookie,” he said.
“We also have the chance to bag the double (after winning the FA Cup in June).
“It is not often that teams have the chance to play in the final. We will do our very best and fight to the end to bring the Malaysia Cup back to Terengganu.”
Commenting on current line-up of players under coach Irfan Bakti, Marzuki said he was honoured and fortunate to play alongside the likes of Mohd Ashaari Shamsudin, Abdul Manaf Mamat, Joseph Kallang Tie and Mohd Zubir Azmi.
“We have a good mix of young and experienced players in the squad. There is a good attacking flair and, as I have done all season, I will make sure the backline stays solid against Negri,” he said.
