NorthEast United head coach Robert Jarni has hailed Jamshedpur FC as the best team in India ahead of NorthEast United's away match against Jamshedpur at the JRD Tata Sports Complex on Monday. Greek player Panagiotis Triadis shared his experience in ISL and praised the quality of Indian players.

Visiting NorthEast United hopes to continue their unbeaten run in the season when they face Jamshedpur FC at the JRD Tata Sports Complex in Jamshedpur on Monday. The Highlanders are fifth in the table with nine points. The winners of the game will move onto the top position.

NorthEast United's Croatian coach Robert Jarni has hailed Jamshedpur FC and termed them as the best team in India at the moment. However, the Croatian coach hopes to win the game against the Men of Steel.

“We always come to any match to win. This is a team which has a very good balance between defence and attack. For me, they are the best team in India at the moment. I know it is a difficult match for us, but we will prepare to the best of our abilities and try to win.” Robert Jarni told reporters, at the pre-match press conference

NorthEast are unbeaten this season with two wins and three draws and the coach said. “It’s still difficult to say what will happen in the future but we will give our everything. It’s impossible to win all the games but we will give our best.”

The Croatian further went on to hail Jamshedpur FC, when asked about their opponents. “I cannot really see any weak point really. They are a very good team. Antonio (Iriondo) is doing a very good job. I have seen three or four matches of Jamshedpur, and like I said, it’s the best team in the Hero ISL.” the 51-year-old coach concluded.

Robert Jarni was accompanied by Greek winger Panagiotis Triadis. And the winger shared about his experience in ISL, “It’s a very different league. I’ve been playing in Europe all my life, same as the coach. It’s difficult to compare it to Europe but speaking about the general infrastructure and professionalism I have nothing to complain about. The stadiums and the fans are brilliant. I think they are doing a great job. Of course, they can improve a few things, but it has only been six seasons, so they still have a lot of time.” Triadis said.

Triadis, who scored his first goal in the ISL against Mumbai City FC in the last game, praised the quality of the Indian players. “It’s important to find a good balance between the Indian and the foreign players. There are a lot of good Indian players. The foreign players try to integrate them and try to help them as much as they can. I think we can help them improve,” he said.
