KUALA LUMPUR: Imports from Spain, Alfonso de la Cruz have no problem sacrificing his position to play in central defense in a bid to streamline the Selangor fortress to face PKNP FC in the Super League action at Batu Kawan Stadium on Wednesday.
He who was initially in midfield when joining the Red Giants squad this season was entrusted by coach Nazliazmi Mohamad Nasir to partner with Willian Pachecho in defense in recent games.
According to Cruz, despite being forced to change the position, he admitted there was no problem adapting to the troops.
"The coach wants me to play in midfield defense, for me it's not a problem because I have to do whatever is best for the team.
"It is difficult to meet PKNP who has a good striker, especially Pachecho can not play because of the suspension, but I still believe in the ability of this team to win," he said.
Nazliazmi's decision to change the position of Cruz is also said to be a move to boost the player's contribution in the team after being seen less impressive in the center.
He became a victim of criticism of his own supporters who wanted the management to look for substitute players during the second transfer window this month.
"So far I have no problems with the management, they still trust me, this team of Selangor, is definitely a high expectation, so criticism in the football is normal for me to work harder," said Cruz.
