This defeat cost the defending champion their preeminent perch on top of the standings as they conceded the top position to state-rival Churchill Brothers.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Armando Colaco oversaw the team\u2019s practice in the morning ahead of team\u2019s new assignment but chose not to speak to the media for a change and asked his senior players to do the talking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is right that Arrows are the only side without a foreigner but the team is very good as they are grooming the future India players,\u201d said Subhasish Roy Chowdhury, the goalkeeper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArrows are a youthful side and have lot of energy. They will definitely look to make the most the home advantage They are youthful and have abundant energy, which is the biggest point about the side,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe lost our last match against Pune FC but hopefully that would not have any impression in tomorrow\u2019s match. It will be a new day and a new game. We have come out of that defeat, which was like a bad day in office. That would not affect our performance against out new opposition,\u201d Subhasish said.<\/p>\n<p>Dempo are missing the English forward Rohan Ricketts and seasoned Mahesh Gawli for injury. Even their Japanese striker Ryuiji Sueoka did not practice on Friday owing to injury. Nigerian Koko Sakibo was the only foreigner who turned out for the morning practice.<\/p>\n<p>Arrows will be taking the field after a 11-day break. With team\u2019s 11th round match against Mohun Bagan deferred, Caoch Arthur Papas hoped the break would not hamper the rhythm of the side.&nbsp; \u201cWe have been playing every week and that set us in a rhythm. We hope the break would not affect the rhythm and the team continues to play its original game,\u201d said Arthur Papas after Arrows\u2019 practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have held Dempo 1-1 in our last meeting in Federation Cup. But that happened quite some time ago in September. Dempo is a good side and has a fine balance of foreign and Indian players. They would give us a tough challenge,\u201d said Papas. \u201cThere were lapses in concentration that saw us losing against Churchill Brothers (in the 10th round). One loss does not mean that the team will have to be changed. I can say there are no suspensions and injuries in the side and we hope to give a better performance against our new opponent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dempo have 25 points from 11 matches while Arrows are on 14 points gained from 10 matches.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kolkata: Two sides with different constitutions but having similar objectives provide the prospect of a keen encounter in the 12th round of I-League at Kolkata\u2019s Salt Lake Stadium on Saturday (December 22).
