“The mood in the camp is good and it has to be. I don’t think one defeat can discourage the team. I probably wasn’t happy with the first 45 minutes (against Gokulam) and I let the boys know that. We learn and picked ourselves up. We are looking forward to putting things right tomorrow,” said Fleming.

While talking about the opposition, Fleming said: “Mohammedan SC has done well. I think we have spoken about Mohammedan before the start of the season as being a legacy club in India. It has a rich history and with that comes a lot of expectations. It will be looking to bounce back from the last result.”

Defender Anwar Ali was out of action for a while because of an injury, but seemed confident after recovering from it. At a press conference, he said: “Injuries are a part of the game. I was confident about my team because we had lots of young players in my position and they got a chance to prove themselves. I am back and whenever the team needs me, I will be there to help,” said Ali.
