Why It Matters
Kitchee is on the verge of winning the Premier League title in Hong Kong, but recently suffered a defeat in the League Cup final.
Inigo Calderon is urging Kitchee to wash away the bitter taste of cup final defeat and wrap up the Premier League on Sunday to prove they are “the best team in Hong Kong”.
Victory over BC Rangers at Tseung Kwan O Sports Ground would see head coach Calderon’s side crowned champions with four games to spare.
They could even have their coronation confirmed earlier in the day should Lee Man, who beat Kitchee in Tuesday’s League Cup final, lose their game at North District.
“We have a great chance to get the important trophy, if we win on Sunday it will mean we are the best team in Hong Kong and I want to show that,” Calderon said.
“I said from the start that the league was the one we really wanted. Losing a cup final felt really bad but … it was one game where Lee Man’s plan worked better for them.
“Sunday will be the best way to forget about it. It’s pretty clear the side I want us to be and one game doesn’t change that.”
