\u201cMohun Bagan are a more difficult team than what we have faced so far in this tournament,\u201d Roca maintained at the official pre-match press conference. \u201cThey did well in both the matches and are one of the most historical teams in Indian Football with a lot of history on their side.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot has changed in both the teams this season. We will try to be better. But having said that it\u2019s not easy. It\u2019s a challenge for us to win tomorrow,\u201d he added. \u201cWe are not the favourites in this match. All the favourites have bowed out so far. So I don\u2019t want to be labelled as the favourite,\u201d he said in a jocular tone.<\/p>\n
The Spanish Coach also made a special mention of \u201cleader\u201d Sunil Chhetri.<\/p>\n
\u201cSunil is on a mission. The older he is getting, the better he is becoming day by day. That\u2019s the way one should be. He is the National Team captain and are one of the leaders of the team. He always focusses on what he wants and reflects a lot of passion. I am happy for him, and to have Sunil in my team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chhetri, the National Team Captain has been in splendid form this season scoring 17 goals so far in the Hero ISL and the Hero Super Cup which also includes two hat-tricks.<\/p>\n
Versatile player Harmanjot Singh Khabra, who has perhaps played in almost every position in his career so far except the goalkeeping slot spoke at length about the \u201chard work\u201d which Chhetri puts in.<\/p>\n
\u201cSunil Chhetri is our leader \u2013 that\u2019s the simple word that describes him perfectly. He is always on the job. What I have learnt from him is the hard work that he puts in. There are times when maybe the others have dropped a bit, but he is always there giving his 100 percent,\u201d Khabra stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are a lot many youngsters in the Mohun Bagan squad. They are a very unpredictable side and have the talent. We need to be ready. It will be a tough challenge from the start,\u201d Khabra pronounced in one breath.<\/p>\n
Bengaluru FC will, however, miss the services of Rahul Bheke in the match. \u201cHe is injured and will miss out,\u201d Roca informed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe difference among the teams is too less. If you are able to capitalise on the first or the second chance which you get, the scenario will change then and there. Professionally, we have a job to do on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
The kick-off at the Kalinga Stadium is at 4 pm and the match will be telecast live on Star Sports 2\/2 HD\/1 Tamil\/ Suvarna Plus\/Jalsha Movies\/Asianet Movies and streamed live on Hotstar and Jio TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
