Having surged to the No 3 spot after their 3-1 upset win over leaders Atletico de Kolkata, FC Pune City captain Bruno Cirillo today said there's no stopping them if they continue to play with the same momentum in the Indian Super League.
"If we continue to play like this we can finish on the top. We work as a team and play as a team," the Italian who captained the side in the absence of David Trezeguet told reporters.
Pune City FC jumped to third spot behind Chennaiyin FC on goal difference while Atletico de Kolkata remained steady on 12 points.
Trezeguet did not travel with the side as the management did not want to risk the French World Cup winner on this artificial surface at Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Krirangan.
Bruno said it was an opportunity for Dudu to make it count.
"Now it's a team with many players so it's a big task for the coach. We are a good family with many players. Everybody is ready to play in the game."
Showering praise on Dudu, he said: "For sure we know he's (David Trezeguet) a big player. We knew he won't be with us. It was a big opportunity for Dudu and I'm very happy for him. He did a fantastic job.
"I didn't see the goal but the job. We knew Kolkata was a big team, on the top of the table. We studied them a little bit.
