"We know what is at stake and we know we need to win, so our focus is very clear.

The team is motivated and ready to fight.

Punjab FC are a strong side and the conditions will also be demanding, so we have to be fully prepared in every aspect if we want to get the result," kata Kratky.

Terkait tekanan besar dalam laga penentu ini, Kratky menganggap hal tersebut sebagai sebuah keistimewaan bagi tim yang bersaing di papan atas.

Ia menegaskan tanggung jawabnya adalah memastikan kesiapan taktis dan mental para pemain.

"Pressure is a privilege for teams competing at the top because it means we are fighting for something important.

My responsibility is to make sure the players are prepared physically, mentally, and tactically. At the end, it comes down to execution and attitude on matchday.

The team that shows greater desire and mentality will give itself the best chance to win," ucap Kratky.

Kratky juga menilai tim lawan memiliki kekuatan yang patut diwaspadai. Cuaca panas Delhi akan menguji kesiapan fisik para pemainnya secara menyeluruh.

"We know what's at stake, we need to win and we have to prepare accordingly to that.

So as I said, the team is ready, they want to fight and we will see what happens.

Obviously we know Delhi will be very hot so we have to be extremely well prepared for the conditions and obviously Punjab is a very good team," kata Kratky.

Kratky menyatakan timnya tidak memiliki beban apa pun. Mereka wajib menunjukkan performa kerja keras demi mengamankan tiga poin penuh.
