Suspension of 2 players has upset the balance of the team - Farina

Team Fiji men’s soccer coach, Frank Farina said the suspension of two players has upset the balance of his team, which is not good.

Farina said they have a mammoth task ahead of them in the Rio Olympics and with less players, their left side of the defence is gone.

Defenders, Kolinio Sivoki and Sakaraia Naisua were suspended for disciplinary reasons.

He said they have mapped out a plan for the first match against Korea Republic.

He added the public should tamper their expectations as they are coming up against three big names in world football in Mexico, Germany and Korea Republic.

Fiji will play their first ever soccer game at the Olympics against Korea Republic on the 5th of August at 11am.
