Ahead of the key clash against Safa later today, Dempo defender Mahesh Gawli has asked his team-mates to seek inspiration from their past results in the AFC Cup.
“Earlier, we have beaten some of the good oppositions like Al Muharraq and most recently Home United. If we play against Safa as we did against them, then I am sure we shall reach the finals,” said the best defender India has produced in recent times.
Gawli isn’t underestimating Safa and gives them due credit for winning the first leg.
“I don’t underestimate any opposition, so what to speak of Safa? They are a great side and played well to win the first leg.”
Dempo are without goalkeeper Abhijit Mondal who was injured in their opening I-League clash against JCT in Goa. He also missed the first leg in Lebanon and Sathish Kumar shall take on the mantle today as well.
“We have good custodians and there is not much to choose between them. Sathish, Abhijit and Tyson are all very up to the mark.”
