ISL outfit Jamshedpur FC will have their task cut out as they take on reigning I-League champions Minerva Punjab FC in what is expected to be an intense Super Cup match here tomorrow.
Jamshedpur FC had already played a match at the Kalinga Stadium.
Jamshedpur coach Steve Coppell said, "We are taking tomorrow's match very seriously. We want to go as further as we can in the tournament.
"When twenty professional teams are fighting against each other to prove themselves, it's going to be fierce and intense."
"We have great respect for the team. I watched a few I-League games on television and realised how competitive and tough the league is. Moreover, Minerva Punjab FC are the champions and it is going to be very tough for us."
On being asked how a knock-out tournament differs from a league competition, the coach responded, "A cup competition is always different from the league. You play one bad game and you're out of the tournament."
