Tiddim Road Athletic Union (TRAU) would look to end the first stage바카라 웹사이트of I-League on a high note and secure their place in the top six with a win over Sudeva Delhi FC when they lock horns in Kalyani, West바카라 웹사이트Bengal on Sunday. (More Football News)
Sudeva Delhi were beaten 0-1 by Gokulam Kerala FC and are out of바카라 웹사이트contention for a top-six spot. Chencho Dorji's team now sits at바카라 웹사이트eighth place with nine points from nine games.
The top six teams from the first phase will once again play against each other, and the points from both phases will be added to determine the바카라 웹사이트champion team. The teams that finish in the bottom five spots in the first stage will바카라 웹사이트also play against each other. The points from both the phases will be added to determine which side바카라 웹사이트gets relegated.
Being their first-ever season, Sudeva Delhi are immune from바카라 웹사이트relegation. This, however, will not stop the Delhi side from aiming at바카라 웹사이트all three points from TRAU and finishing the first stage of the league바카라 웹사이트on a positive note.
Speaking ahead of the match, Sudeva head coach Chencho Dorji, said, "We learn a lot from every game. To be on the losing side is바카라 웹사이트very difficult. Regardless of the results, we want to play good바카라 웹사이트football and gather as many points as possible from the remaining games.
"Every opponent has their unique qualities. We need to focus on바카라 웹사이트playing our natural game against TRAU. It will be hard to get바카라 웹사이트chances against them. I am hoping we can get three points and바카라 웹사이트return to winning ways."
TRAU revived themselves with a morale-boosting 5-1 win over바카라 웹사이트Indian Arrows. Now, the Red Pythons sit fifth in the standings with바카라 웹사이트13 points.
While a draw might be sufficient for TRAU if either or both바카라 웹사이트Mohammedan Sporting and Aizawl FC drop points, the equation is바카라 웹사이트simple for Nandakumar's side -- win and secure a spot in the top six.
"I am very much pleased with our result from the performance바카라 웹사이트against Indian Arrows. But, we cannot afford to rejoice just yet. We바카라 웹사이트have another hurdle before we get to the next stage. I will be a바카라 웹사이트happy man once we get a positive result tomorrow," Nandakumar said.
"At the start of the season, I believed that we would be in the바카라 웹사이트top-six and that was our main objective. The players have given바카라 웹사이트their best to stay in the top half of the I-League standings, and I바카라 웹사이트am satisfied with where we are as a team."
Regarding Sunday's opponents, he said, "I really like the setup that Sudeva has. They have experienced Indian players. In most games,바카라 웹사이트they have played with courage and drew against heavyweights like바카라 웹사이트Real Kashmir, Punjab, and Aizawl. I expect it to be a tough game."바카라 웹사이트
