Hopefully, we want to get China o ring rubber factory out of the bottom of the table,” said Kerala chief coach Terry Phelan. Defending champions Atletico de Kolkata are the current leaders with 23 points with a game in hand. It’s a very neutral league and it’s important for the players’ motivation to finish on top,” he said.”We spoke about this game. Our goals are not achieved as yet,” said Carlos. Now it’s about pride and playing to our capabilities.Kerala go into Thursday’s game with a clear aim, to get out of the bottom of the table. That’s why I have been talking to them, asking them to take it seriously.
To get to the play-offs was the most important thing.Kerala, on the other hand, would aim to at least move out of the bottom spot with a victory in their concluding league clash on Thursday as they are already out of contention for a play-offs berth.They play their last match on December 6 against FC Goa who are currently on second spot with 22 points with a game in hand.”We have seen some great performances from the team but we let ourselves down, conceding poor goals due to lack of concentration.Delhi are now on third spot with 21 points from 12 matches and they will jump to the top of points table if the Roberto Carlos’ side defeat Kerala at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. But Carlos said there was still a lot of work to be done and they would definitely aim to take the top spot. If we think it will be easy, we will lose. We are going out to win the game.Delhi are the only team to have qualified for the play-offs with two matches still in hand.Having already qualified for the play-offs, Delhi Dynamos will take on bottom-placed Kerala Blasters in their penultimate Indian Super League football match, with an aim to top the points table, here on Thursday.”We will obviously chase the top position.
