Pailan Arrows ‘tough and tricky’ but we are confident: USFC coach

GANGTOK, 03 Nov: United Sikkim Football Club [USFC] will take on Pailan Arrows in its fourth home match in the I-League 2012-13 at Paljor Stadium on Sunday.
Addressing a press conference today at Paljor Stadium, USFC coach, Phillipe De Ridder expressed confidence that the team will score some points in its fourth home match against Pailan Arrows. “The team is confident and positive about getting better results in tomorrow’s match”, said Mr Ridder.
Mentioning that Pailan Arrows is a “tough and tricky” opponent, he further added that Pailan Arrows is an organized team and the home team will try its best to balance it. In the absence of its defender, Sandesh Jhingan, the team has to check its defence line and another good player, Safar Sardar was likely to replace Sandesh in tomorrow’s match, he informed. Depending on the team’s performance, there are chances that Bhaichung might play in tomorrow’s match, he added.
The team has been doing well in the league, registering a win in its first match against Salgaocar SC and then going down fighting to East Bengal FC and Dempo SC despite a fantastic game, the coach expressed.
Team captain, Anwar Ali said that after playing against big clubs in the last three matches, USFC is looking forward to doing better tomorrow. “We want to take advantage of this home match before going for the four away matches”, he added.
