Tarkovic aims to rise with White Falcons

KUALA LUMPUR: Stefan Tarkovic claimed he is a man used to working with pressure. And that includes meeting Kyrgyzstan's expectation of leading the White Falcons to victory over Malaysia tomorrow at Bukit

Jalil.

The 50-year-old former Slovakia coach, who took over the Kyrgyzstan team in May, said there will be pressure on him but he enjoys it.

"I like pressure. Many (Malaysian) fans will be there. The atmosphere will be great.

"The pressure is normal, I can face it. I just hope there will be celebration for Kyrgyzstan football."

Tarkovic said he knows a bit about the Malaysia team, but chose not to say much about the hosts.

"I think Malaysia are a good team. We have analysed their performances as a team and individually.

"I think it will be a tight match. We'll leave everything on the field."
