Joao Victor said while talking to the press ahead of the team’s match against the Blues, “We are all ready for our next game. Football without pressure is nothing. You cannot be ready for a game without pressure. We have the pressure to defend the title, and pressure to win every game but we are confident and ready for the game against Bengaluru.”

On the other hand, defender Chinglensana Singh was also part of the press conference along with talismanic striker Bartholomew Ogbeche and head coach Manuel Marquez. Singh said it has been a great experience to be part of the team.

“It is a great experience to be a part of this group. There are a lot of quality players at this club and it is a great learning experience for me. We help each other become better and that is what makes our group special.”

Hyderabad will play in front of their home crowd and Marquez added that they have been waiting for this opportunity for the last two seasons.

He said, “It is a moment we have all been waiting for. Even in the first game, it was unfortunate that we could not play at home. In the bubble, we got a lot of messages on social media. But now we want to finally play in front of our fans, in front of a big crowd, and get all three points from this game.”
