KUALA LUMPUR: KL City hope to record a winning start to their Super League season when they entertain Kuching City at KLFA Stadium, Cheras, tomorrow.

KL City manager Miroslav Kuljanac said his team are eager to start the season with three points following an encouraging pre-season.

"Our pre-season friendlies went well. Our focus is now on our first league game," said Kuljanac, who was KL City's assistant coach last season.

"I see positives in the team. We are tactically solid. Our team will be in full force tomorrow with no injury concerns."

Kuljanac is facing a selection dilemma due to the high commitment and consistent performances of his players during recent friendly matches.

"I am confident the players picked will do well against Kuching," he said.

The City Boys, who finished seventh last season, have strengthened their team with several new signings, including goalkeeper Lawton Green (New Zealand), Lazar Sajcic (Serbia), Adrijan Rudovic (Montenegro) and Jovan Motika (Bosnia-Herzegovina).

The team also retained Sebastian Avanzini, Patrick Reichelt, and Giancarlo Gallifuoco for the new season.

Among the new local signings are former Selangor captain Brendan Gan, S. Sharvin, Ryan Lambert, Declan Lambert, Nick Swirad and goalkeeper Hafizul Hakim Khairul Nizam Jothy.
