Fresh from their last-gap win in the AFC Cup, Bengaluru FC take on Neroca FC in the Hero Super Cup quarterfinal here tomorrow.

Coach Albert Roca informed during the press conference that the ISL finalists would stick to their policy and they can't afford to drop their levels any time.

"We can't drop our levels and have to be up there consistently. We always try to win and it's something I try to impart to the players as well."
On being asked which tournament is Bengaluru FC's priority now, the Spanish coach mentioned, "All competitions are important for us, we can't choose just one. The Super Cup is a knockout competition while the AFC Cup has multiple matches in the group stage."
"The fact that we're playing more competitions, shows we're one of the top teams in the country."
On being asked, Roca explained, "We are a team that never surrenders. Even if we're winning or trailing we never give up. That's our philosophy. We keep fighting right till the end, and that's probably why we get goals in the final few minutes of the game."
"We were lucky against Kerala Blasters to come back from 2-goal down and winning it till the end. Another challenging match awaits us tomorrow. Bengaluru FC are a very tough side and we respect them a lot."
