Chennaiyin FC coach John Gregory cleared it out that the currently-crowned Hero Indian Super League champions have come to Bhubaneswar with nothing but ‘intention of winning’ as the Chennai-outfit will open their Hero Super Cup 2018 campaign against Aizawl FC tomorrow (March 31, 2018).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“The Super League season has ended. The euphoria of winning the final is already over and now we have another challenge right in front of us. We are a very professional outfit and we’re back to the ground now to focus on this tournament starting tomorrow with every intention of winning.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Indian Super League champions had played a pre-season friendly match against the previous Hero I-League champions in October and Gregory mentioned that his team has a knowledge of the Highlanders’ capability on the pitch and how fierce the contest is going to be tomorrow.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"303“We played a pre-season game against them. We know a bit about them. They were very successful last season, became I-League champions. We are obviously aware of the fact that it’s going to be a fiercely contested game tomorrow.” <\/span><\/span>Dhanapal Ganesh who is back from the Indian National Team setup following the AFC Asian Cup qualifier game added, “We had enjoyed a lot after winning the ISL title but now we’re focusing on tomorrow’s match. It’s definitely going to be a tough challenge for us.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nonetheless, coach John Gregory hinted that he might throw in a few fresh <\/span><\/span>pair<\/span><\/span> of legs into the ring tomorrow.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“In the ISL, we couldn’t experiment much as all the games were very crucial. There’s always a possibility of throwing 1-2 players with lesser experience to tomorrow’s game who couldn’t game more opportunity before.” <\/span><\/span>On the other hand, Aizawl FC coach Santosh Kashyap stressed that the match is very evenly poised and his boys can spoil Chennaiyin FC’s party tomorrow.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“We are a young team and we are pitted against one of the best teams. But anyone can beat anyone in a knock-out tournament. We’ll try to do our best and win tomorrow’s game.” <\/span><\/span>He further added, “My players are fighters by heart. It’s a  great opportunity and we’ll put the best effort to win the game. The boys are here to cope up with the new challenge. It’s nothing but a 50-50 before the game kicks off tomorrow. If we perform to our potential, we can beat them”, Kashyap rattled it out during the pre-match press conference.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he informed that David Lalrinzuala is injured and is not available tomorrow.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alfred Jaryan, the Liberian midfielder who led the Northeastern outfit to lift their maiden Hero I-League trophy last season mentioned that the team is rearing to show their worth once again and they’re ready to accept the challenge.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“It is a new challenge and we’re ready for that. We have played in different tournaments and we believe that we can show our worth in the Hero Super Cup too.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The match is scheduled at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar at 08:00 PM and it’ll be telecast live on Star Sports 2\/2 HD\/1 Tamil and streamed live on Hotstar and Jio TV.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
