We are really happy with the team that we are building and pleasantly surprised to see the level of the Indian players. We think that some of them will make an impact this season in the Hero ISL. Also, all the players have a really good attitude to learn and the foreigners will bring their experience about how to play in different situations. All the staff are also motivated for this season. We have a good lineup but also really good alternatives coming from the bench. We can play different styles of the game thanks to the different players and in the physical aspect, we are getting stronger thanks to the training and friendly matches."
