Khalid Jamil’s Jamshedpur FC will face NorthEast United FC in the quarter-finals.
After beating Hyderabad FC 2-0, Jamshedpur FC secured their spot in the quarter-finals. Before their big match against NorthEast United, coach Khalid Jamil and player Nikhil Barla spoke to the media about the team’s preparations.
NorthEast United come into the match with a lot of confidence too, after crushing Mohammedan SC by scoring six goals. With a place in the semi-finals on the line, this match promises to be a thrilling battle.
Is Khalid Planning Something Special?
Coach Khalid Jamil explained that knockout matches need a different attitude. In a tough tournament like the Super Cup, you must win to move to the next round — there’s no other way.
He said, “We did well in our last game, but now we are up against a strong team. We need to be fully ready and give everything on the field. Every knockout match is different, and this one will need even more focus and hard work.”
What Keeps the Red Miners Going Strong?
After a strong and impressive season in the ISL, Jamshedpur FC is now aiming to win the Kalinga Super Cup and earn a rare chance to represent India at the continental level. With just three more wins needed to reach this big goal, the Red Miners are ready to give their best effort.
Khalid said, “Our goal is clear — in a knockout match, there are no second chances. We have to give everything on the field. Every player has a role to play, and we must play with full focus and energy.”
