After their maiden Federation Cup win, Churchill Brothers are raring to go against Rangdajied when they meet each other tomorrow in the second leg of the I-League, played at Tilak Stadium here.
Churchill Brothers, who finished the first leg of the I-League on a disappointed note, remaining at the bottom of the table, got a big boost after their team won their first maidan Federation Cup, are now looking to carry on the Federation Cup success in the I-League.
"Churchill Brothers' coach Mariano Dias said after the Federation Cup success the expectation of the team is high and I am sure it will inspire the boys to turn around things and do well in the second leg and avoid the relegation and finish among the top five at the end of the league," stated Dias.
"In the Federation Cup, we played with only two foreigners and did not lose a single match. Now that we will playing the third foreigner- Costa Rica striker Christian Lagos who have been practicing regularily with the team, it will give more teeth to the strike force. We have no injury worries and the one and half month break will help the boys do well and recover from the injuries," Dias said.
Just like Churchill Brothers, Rangdejied United FC, who drew against them in the first leg is also languishing at the bottom with 12 points and are above them with two points.
Coach Santosh Kashyap is looking that his team will do well in the second leg and improve the standing.
"I know that Churchill Brothers are high of confidence after their maiden win in the Federation Cup and also have the advantage of playing at home. But we are looking for the right start tomorrow and will throw everything at them to earn a point," Rangdejied coach Kashyap said.
