Same mould: Farizal (inset) says Aidil Zafuan (right) plays like former Malaysian defender Santokh Singh.

PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) goalkeeper Farizal Zamani Marlias said two current centrebacks remind him a lot of two Malaysian legends – Soh Chin Aun and Santokh Singh.

The 34-year-old, who shared his choice of the first 11, likened Norhafiz Misbah’s playing style to Chin Aun while teammate Aidil Zafuan Abdul Razak manned the backline like Santokh.
