Salgaocar Sports Club aims against Pailan Arrows

Hosts Salgaocar Sports Club would be looking to settle quickly to winning ways when they take on India's young guns Pailan Arrows on Friday in the second round I-League clash at the Nehru Stadium in Fatorda.
    
The defending champions, who lost to Dempo in their lung opener, are confident of getting the better of inexperienced Pailan Arrows for their first win.
    
Salgaocar failed to display the same flair on the flanks against Dempo which saw their play restricted mostly in the midfield battle.
    
"It was our first match and the boys were bound to commit mistakes as they were eager to give their best. Our boys put up a good performance overall but conceded a silly goal after some misunderstanding between the midfield and the defence which saw us end up with a defeat," stated Karim Bencherifa.
    
"Tomorrow is a different game as we play against young Indian players who are full of energy and will throw everything at us. We have beaten them in the Federation Cup and also have the home advantage but cannot take things for granted," he added.
    
Pailan Arrows, who are a new look team consisting mostly of U-21 players with four of their players doing duty for the national team, had a pratice session at the Nehru Stadium on Thursday morning.
    
Pailan Arrows coach Sukhwinder Singh said his team, which lost its first match against Mohun Bagan, was a young, inexperienced and developing squad but should not be underestimated.
