In a pre-match press conference, the English tactician opined that most things hadn’t gone in favor of the Red and Gold Brigade so far this season. Constantine stated:
The Kolkata giants currently have just 12 points from their 13 matches and are heading into the game on the back of a 1-2 loss against Jamshedpur FC. They now face defending champions Hyderabad FC, who are comfortably placed in the second spot.
However, Constantine opined that playing against these better teams could be a chance for his team to step up. He added:
Cleiton Silva stresses that East Bengal “need to have the mentality to win”
Although East Bengal haven’t managed to particularly impress in the Indian Super League, their star forward Cleiton Silva has been single-handedly leading the frontline.
The Brazilian forward has scored nine goals in 13 appearances and is the joint top-scorer in the league.
Speaking about his mentality of rising to the occasion, Cleiton, who was also present at the press conference, stated:
If East Bengal are to get the three points against the Nizams, they’ll need Cleiton to be at his clinical best.
