AFC Cup: Biggest Game As A Coach - Dempo Coach

Dempo coach Armando Colaco insisted that his side are confident of making it into the final two of the AFC Cup as they face Lebanon’s Safa FC in the second leg of the semi-finals at the Gachibowli Stadium, Hyderabad.

Speaking to Goal.com, Mr.Colaco said, “The confidence is high and the preparations have been good. We want to win and begin a new chapter in Indian football.”

Dempo lost the first eg 1-0 away two weeks back and want to make amends for the mistakes in Lebanon. Midfielder Roberto Mendes Silva, a.k.a ‘Beto’, isn’t completely fit but the Goan coach states he would wait for him till the last minute.

“He is recovering but we shall take him to the ground and see there.”

Armando Colaco also mentioned this game as the biggest as a coach.

“I have coached Dempo in one international tournament but this one is certainly greater than that.”
