FCBU have scored the most goals and conceded the fewest goals among all groups. Chavan attributed this to the style of coach Fernando Varela.
“The coach often urges us to play free-flowing football like in Argentina. He encourages us to express ourselves on the pitch. It really motivates us to keep attacking,” he said.
FCBU’s opponents, Delhi FC, have been the second highest scoring team in the group stage and the rival defense will be tested.
“They have some experienced players who have been in similar situations before, but we have a strong unit so I am confident that if we stick to our processes, we will walk away with a positive result.” chavan,
