Antonio confident that Dominic can rise to the occasion

Marcos Antonio is happy to take on the role of leader to young Dominic Tan as they prepare to start tomorrow's clash against Ceres

For the second match running, Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) will look to field Marcos Antonio alongside Dominic Tan at the heart of the defence and it will be the biggest game for the budding centre back as it's the AFC Cup ASEAN zone semi-final against Ceres-Negros FC.

The vastly more experienced Antonio however, believes that Dominic has strengths in his game that would not hamper JDT. The only other match which the two of them have played together this season was the 1-1 draw against Melaka United two weeks ago.
