Carles Cuadrat has backed the Bengaluru FC players to shine after he declared that his squad is in the best physical shape possible and ready to play some good football. Sunil Chhetri & Co. will go up against Pune City FC on Monday at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex Stadium in Pune.

Bengaluru FC are scheduled to play Pune City FC at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex Stadium in Pune on Monday for the first time in this year’s Indian Super League. Bengaluru, who have remained unbeaten after two games, have won one and drew one of the two games they have played this year. Meanwhile, Pune City FC have just one point and languished at number nine on the table. 

At a pre-match press conference, Carles Cuadrat revealed that his troops will surely be eager to emerge victorious against Miguel Portugal’s team. He also asserted that the BFC squad are in prime physical shape to pull off a win and boost the morale in the camp.

“The season started just now, but we have been working from the last three months because we had the boys. We have been working hard and they are following the instructions that I have told them. They are working in the direction that we have been trying and I think that we are in a very good shape physically. We have no injuries and we have the full squad ready to play.

“In the Hero ISL, there are a lot of results that change because of last moment goals. It has been happening during the last few games. When one team is going down and they have to try and get some points, they go for the crazy attack. And sometimes they get the result and it’s interesting to see how the league is going until now. There is a lot of equality and a lot of results are changing in the last minute,” Cuadrat said at a pre-match press conference.

The Spaniard also added that he expected a good game in Pune as he heaped praise on Portugal’s new-look side.

“I’m not thinking about that. I think it’s too soon in the season to think about these kinds of questions because we just started. I think all the games against Pune have been really nice games with good football because we have an offensive squad and Pune also have very talented players in the attack. So, I think that both teams are not in a moment where we are fighting for a playoff, we are in a more relaxed moment. It means that tomorrow we can see a nice show,” Cuadrat concluded.
