PETALING JAYA: National Under-23 football team winger T. Saravanan expects to see a different side to new coach Juan Torres Garrido (pic) when the players gather for a centralised training camp from Nov 13-21 for the AFC Under-23 Asian Cup, scheduled for April next year in Doha, Qatar.

The Spaniard is no stranger to the Harimau Muda players as he was assistant to E. Elavarasan, replacing him when the latter returned to the national team to assist coach Kim Pan-gon in October.
