La Hor­quet­ta Rangers coach Dave Quam­i­na will not be tak­ing last-place Moru­ga FC light­ly as his team will take a sim­i­lar ap­proach to the match as in any oth­er in the As­cen­sion Foot­ball League on Fri­day.

Sec­ond-placed Rangers will face Moru­ga in the fea­ture match of a dou­ble-head­er at the Phase II La Hor­quet­ta Recre­ation Ground to­day at 8 pm and if they come away with the win, will as­sume the top po­si­tion on the stand­ings, pro­vid­ing the re­sult of the open­ing match be­tween De­fence Force and De­porti­vo PF.

Both Rangers and De­fence Force are on four points from a win and a draw.

Quam­i­na told Guardian Me­dia they will not change their game-plan for any oth­er team, say­ing: “We will play our nat­ur­al game. We will play our nat­ur­al game, no game is an easy game be­cause on the day it­self you have to go out there and per­form.

“It’s just that we have to go out there and play our nat­ur­al game. We have to show our op­po­nents re­spect, not be­cause you’re at the bot­tom of the league you will go in­to the game say­ing that you won al­ready, you must show the op­po­nent re­spect.

“We’re not go­ing to re-in­vent the wheel, it’s the same. Every­body knows how we do play. Every­body knows our team so every­body has a fair idea of how we play.

“There is no strat­e­gy in how we play so we will not try to change for the next team. We try to fo­cus on our game which is en­ter­tain­ing foot­ball, so if our foot­ball is at­tack­ing foot­ball we will play at­tack­ing foot­ball, just our nat­ur­al game.”

Rangers played to a goal­less draw with gi­ants De­fence Force in their open­ing game of the tour­na­ment but lat­er re­bound­ed to a 4-2 tri­umph over AC Port of Spain at the same venue last week­end.

In the oth­er match of the night, de­fend­ing cham­pi­on De­fence Force will have a date with De­porti­vo FC at the same venue from 6 pm. The army/coast guard com­bi­na­tion team is in the third po­si­tion on the stand­ing af­ter a 2-0 tri­umph over Cen­tral Soc­cer­world at the Velo­drome last week­end.

Coach Hut­son Charles who had con­cerns over the team’s per­for­mance in the sec­ond half of the Cen­tral Soc­cer­world match, said they have sort­ed out their con­cerns in the last match and will be go­ing af­ter the win lat­er.
