Alex Alvares of the Sporting Clube picked Edeh Chidi as the key man for Salgaocar.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"component\/search\/?searchword=Sporting+Clube&amp;ordering=&amp;searchphrase=all\" title=\"http:\/\/www.indiansportsnews.com\/component\/search\/?searchword=Sporting+Clube&amp;ordering=&amp;searchphrase=all\">Sporting Clube<\/a> put it across Salgaocar in an exciting first leg clash and Alvares believes Sunday\u2019s battle also will go down to the wire.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be tough. We will have to be at our best to get full points out of this game,\u201d said Alvares.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alvares said Salgaocar striker <a href=\"component\/search\/?searchword=Edeh+Chidi&amp;ordering=&amp;searchphrase=all\" title=\"http:\/\/www.indiansportsnews.com\/component\/search\/?searchword=Edeh+Chidi&amp;ordering=&amp;searchphrase=all\">Edeh Chidi<\/a> could be the essential difference between the two sides, as the Nigerian striker\u2019s movements up front can cause plenty of problems to any side that leaves him unmarked.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to come up with a strategy to contain Chidi. He is their key player, in a sense he holds the ball, allows the midfield to join the attack and also makes the crucial pass for his teammates who can then do the damage. We have studied his game and are confident that we can contain him,\u201d said the Sporting&#8217;s technical director.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have done very well in recent games and hope to continue doing the same against Salgaocar. Luckily, we do not have too many problems and we will field almost the same squad that defeated Chirag United Kerala 3-0,\u201d disclosed Alvares, adding that midfielder Adil Khan is doubtful after sustaining an injury in training.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just like Sporting, Salgaocar, too, have had a revival in recent games and look good to match the best in the business. The defending champions are placed fourth on the table and look good enough to move up.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are no targets as such. All that we plan to do is take it match by match, round by round. We intend to finish third or second by the time the 20th round ends. Once we achieve small targets, the bigger target will be achieved automatically,\u201d said Salgaocar coach Karim Bencherifa.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Goa<\/strong>: Sporting Clube de Goa will take on <a href=\"component\/search\/?searchword=Salgaocar+Sports+Clu&amp;ordering=&amp;searchphrase=all\" title=\"http:\/\/www.indiansportsnews.com\/component\/search\/?searchword=Salgaocar+Sports+Clu&amp;ordering=&amp;searchphrase=all\">Salgaocar Sports Club<\/a> in the 20th round <a href=\"component\/search\/?searchword=I-league&amp;ordering=newest&amp;searchphrase=all&amp;limit=20\" title=\"http:\/\/www.indiansportsnews.com\/component\/search\/?searchword=I-league&amp;ordering=newest&amp;searchphrase=all&amp;limit=20\">I-league<\/a> clash at the Nehru Stadium, Fatorda on Sunday.
