The plan was simple; for Goal to attend Selangor's training session two days before their Super League match against Felda United last weekend to ask head coach B. Satiananthan about the encounter, something that should have taken three minutes at the most.
But that plan right out the window, when the 61-year old coach suggested to Goal writer Zulhilmi Zainal that he was not particularly happy with an earlier Goal story on the team.
The misunderstanding was cleared, and what followed was a frank 20-minute chat with the outspoken trainer on topics such as social media, the fans' expectation, his contract at the Red Giants, newly-crowned league champions Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT), as well as his own team's rebuilding process.
