But the 31-year-old, who also plays for the national women’s team, was glad that the game was relocated, adding, “Knowing that we were going to play an important match at Jalan Besar gave us a sense of relief because the condition of the Choa Chu Kang field was bad.“I’m hoping all the other teams will have their matches shifted too as it’ll be only fair for them.”
