Chennaiyin FC’s Anirudh Thapa has said the team will look to use the Durand Cup campaign for bonding and coordination.
“For us, it (Durand Cup) is important. We have a new team. The foreigners are new. So, we need that game-time to get used to the style the coach wants from us. Rafa (Rafael Crivellaro), who was out (injured), also needs that game-time. I think these matches are important to get along with each other.”
He added that as much as the Durand Cup is important for the team to play to win, a poor campaign in terms of the results won’t have a negative impact on the team and said that the tournament will serve to gauge the other teams.
