Kolkata- After suffering back-to-back defeats, Sudeva Delhi FC will be looking to get back on track against the in-form and unbeaten Neroca FC when they meet in the I-League 2022 at the Kalyani Municipal Stadium here on Thursday.
Sudeva Delhi FC head coach, Mehrajuddin Wadoo is looking to keep the players motivated ahead of a crucial match. “In the last two matches, we had to suffer two narrow defeats. I have no complaints against them. They played very well. Unfortunately, the results didn’t come in our favour. However, we are working very hard for results. It will be an important game for us and we will be aiming to collect all three points,” the coach said.
Young midfielder Akbar Khan accompanied the coach in the pre-match press conference. “We are disappointed with the results of the last few games, but we are working hard as a team.
