Chennaiyin FC have a chance to go top of the ISL table with a win over NorthEast United on Saturday at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai. Their last match saw them involved in a heavily contested, top of the table clash with Atletico de Kolkata that ended 1-1 thanks to an injury time penalty conversion by Elano.

NorthEast United themselves will want to shrug off their loss to FC Pune City and come back into contention for the top 4 with a good performance. Here are the pre-match press conference quotes from Chennaiyin FC’s press conference.

Vivek NagulOn the mood in the squad

The mood is very positive as we came back well to earn a point against Atletico Kolkata. Now we are aiming for maximum points at hometomorrow.On the NorthEast side

They are a fast and youthful side. But we have done our preparations and would look to implement it.

On rotating players.

It is not easy playing every three days so if needed we will rotate but it will all depend on situation of matches and injuries.

On facing NorthEast side

They are a very talented side but our coaches have done the homework so we would look to be at our best and get the three points tomorrow.

On playing across the back four

Yes all my life I have played in central defence but I don't mind doing a job for the team in other positions also. I am getting used to playing in wide roles.

On learning from experienced foreigners

For me every game and training session is a learning experience. Of course it helps further when you share the dressing room and pitch with some of the best players in the world. It gives you more confidence.
