A creditable second-place finish in the I-League will act as a confidence-booster as Neroca FC lock horns with Gokulam Kerala in the Super Cup qualifiers here tomorrow.
The qualifiers of the tournament will be played between teams who finished between 7th and 10th in the ISL and I-League respectively.
The four winners will proceed to the final round of the tournament which kicks off from March 31.
NEUFC coach Avram Grant mentioned that his team couldn't garner positive results despite playing good football but they're now "ready for the war".
"A Cup game is always a war and we're approaching tomorrow's game likewise. We had a frustrating phase of two months towards the business end of the league as we lost many games. But, now we are here to do something good in the Super Cup," he said.
Portuguese defender Jos Gonalves added: "There's absolutely no difference between us. It's warm but we have to be at the top of our game to churn out a positive result."
