Hero Super Cup 2023: Sreenidi Deccan vs Kerala Blasters - Build-up

A tough challenge awaits Sreenidi Deccan FC as they face group leaders Kerala Blasters FC in the Group A clash at the EMS Stadium, Kozhikode on Wednesday, April 12, 2023.

In their first encounters, Sreenidi came from behind to hold Bengaluru FC to a 1-1 draw, while Kerala Blasters FC collected full points when they defeated RoundGlass Punjab FC 3-1.

Sreenidi Deccan Head Coach Carlos Manuel Vaz Pinto sounded confident and optimistic ahead of the second match. Though Manuel said the promising performance in the previous match against ISL heavyweights Bengaluru FC was a thing of the past, he said the process and efforts put in by the team were enough to make them feel confident for the next tie.

When asked how the home support would help the Kerala Blasters in front of the home crowd, Manuel said, “We need to be ready for this challenge not only on the field but off it as well. We need to be organised, competitive and focused to overcome the challenge.”
