Kalyani, Jan 18 : After beating Chennai City FC 2-0 in their previous match, Real Kashmir FC will aim to build on their winning momentum, grabbing maximum points, when they take on fourth-placed Sudeva Delhi FC at the Kalyani Municipal Stadium on Tuesday.
After a slow start in the I-League, where they were held to a 1-1 draw by TRAU, Real Kashmir put their hat into the title contention, defeating Chennai City 2-0 and going third on the table despite being on level points (4) with table toppers Churchill Brothers and Mohammedan SC.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, head coach David Robertson said, “It was a very tough match against Chennai City FC but we dug deep and got the job done. We played well and had some good spells in the game, we are looking to replicate that performance in the next match as well.” “To win the I-League is tough as every game presents its own set of challenges. Sudeva won’t be any different, however, we are ready for the match and would aim for the win. We want to also create pressure on the other two title challengers who are above us,” he added.
Afghan international Haroon Amiri said, “Sudeva Delhi FC have a strong team with the likes of Kean (Lewis) leading them. It won’t be an easy outing for us but we are ready for it. We know we will have to initiate attacks and take an early lead if we are to win the match.” Debutants Sudeva Delhi won their first match of the I-League last time around when they defeated Indian Arrows 3-0. However, the challenge present in the form of Real Kashmir will be way more difficult for the Delhi outfit, who have garnered three points from two games.
