"That game has already passed. As the game ended, we are now only thinking of Goa! We have to continue with the same seriousness as in the previous games. They have very good players. It will be a difficult game," said Tiri during the pre-match press conference.
While the side looks on course to qualify for playoffs, Tiri feels its a long shot, as the side is focusing on the task at hand. "We are not thinking about the playoff right now. We want to go match by match!" he said.
Speaking on the new normal, of training during the pandemic and staying in the bubble, Tiri said, "Like us, there are the other teams also. It is what we have to do because of the pandemic and we have to adapt as best as possible."
