The result of the last match means nothing.

How can you ignore that? They have been the most consistent team in Indian Football in the last decade. There\u2019s so much quality in the side,\u201d he continues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have had positive results at home when we forced strong contenders Prayag United and Mohun Bagan to split points with us. But as I said, it\u2019s past. But we are confident that we can do well,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Dempo SC Coach Armando Colaco, smiles. \u201cONGC are a fighting unit. They have had some good results at home. And do remember, despite the standings, the match starts goalless,\u201d he quips.<\/p>\n<p>After 5 matches, Dempo stay at the top with 13 points while ONGC stay at the bottom with 2 points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to make our own calculations against Dempo. Against such a team, you can\u2019t go all out. It will be like committing suicide. We will be cautious and look out for that opportunity,\u201d Bhattacharya maintains. \u201cA point against Dempo will be a bonus. Not every team will manage to get a point against them. We need to defend well. There isn\u2019t any room for any errors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no denying we face an uphill task,\u201d the ONGC coach opines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have had a good time to focus and prepare for the match. Luckily enough, we are fresh unlike the last time where we had to play on consecutive days. We don\u2019t have anyone sitting out and none stays injured,\u201d Bhattacharya smiles at last.<\/p>\n<p>The same isn\u2019t the case with the visitors. Defender par excellence Mahesh Gawli is out with an injury as is Koko Sakibu while \u201cfood poisoning\u201d has forced Rohan Ricketts out.<\/p>\n<p>The kick-off at the Ambedkar Stadium on Friday (November 16) is at 2.30pm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 6px; float: left;\" src=\"images\/football\/dempo-vs-ongc.jpg\" alt=\"I-League: ONGC to take on Dempo SC\" width=\"200\" \/>New Delhi:<\/strong> \u201cPast is past.
