I-League: Indian Arrows aim to put up good show vs Chennai City FC

Kalyani, Jan 28 : After their defiant performance against Aizawl FC that saw them equalise in the dying minutes of the match, Indian Arrows would be aiming to continue to build on that as they face Chennai City FC on Friday.
Sajad Hussain’s thumping header in second-half stoppage time opened the points tally for the Arrows, a developmental team of the All-India Football Federation, but what has been a visible feature for the Arrows is their fighting spirit, and that has reaped dividends.
Speaking at the official pre-match press conference head coach Venkatesh Shanmugam said: “Our strength is our fighting spirit. The spirit shown by the boys in the last match was commendable. They did not give up until the final second and that is something to be proud of. The team has already progressed in a lot of ways but still there is room for improvement. We are improving match by match and these boys will continue to grow as the season progresses.” Venkatesh wants his side to show the fighting spirit against Chennai City FC too. “All games are equally important in the league and a positive result will give us more confidence and motivation. We are looking forward to the next game and want to keep our spirits high by grabbing some points. It will be challenging for us,” he said.
Goalkeeper Syed Hussain, who made his debut in the 1-1 draw against Aizawl FC said, “After the last match, we are confident in our abilities and we are raring to give our 100 per cent in the match tomorrow. We will never give up because it is part of the Arrows mentality and we will fight to the end for a good result.” A 2-0 loss to TRAU FC meant that Chennai City FC sank to tenth on the I-League table and with the Satyasagara-coached side gearing up to face the Arrows after two back-to-back losses, they will be looking for a win to turn their losing streak around.
