Sporting Clube de Goa ready for action
Sporting Clube de Goa (SCdG) will depart early on Tuesday morning for the Federation Cup, as they prepare to take on East Bengal in a mouth watering tie, which is scheduled for Friday, in Silliguri, West Bengal.
The Sporting Clube de Goa Technical director Alex Alvares, has a strong belief in the squad, “The players have talent in abundance, I can vouch for that. But I have told them that we have to maintain our togetherness as a team to come away with success,” stated Alex.
Winger Freiman Peixote has not travelled with the squad and would have been a certainty, but is carrying a niggling hamstring injury and the management thought it wise not to risk him, keeping in mind the I-League is set to kick off soon.
The Flaming Oranje will face East Bengal on 21st September, followed by Kalighat on 23rd September and ONGC on 25th September. Only the top team in the group will qualify for the semi final.
