New Delhi: Delhi Dynamos and Chennaiyin FC will begin their second matches of the India Super League (ISL) at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Thursday on an even keel after suffering demoralising defeats in their opening games of the competition.
Both teams have garnered considerable attention in the transfer market, managing big-money signings and are expected to fight for the semi-final spots at the league phase.
But their opening match performances have hardly matched their ambitions. While Dynamos were beaten by hosts FC Goa 0-2, Chennaiyin were on the receiving end of a 2-3 scoreline against defending champions Atletico de Kolkata at home.
Dynamos made the biggest noise in the transfer market after landing Brazilian legend Roberto Carlos in a marquee player-manager role, French great Florent Malouda and Norwegian star John Arne Riise, hoping to over come their last season misadventure, when they failed to qualify for the last four.
Carlos had claimed his team will adopt a bold offensive approach in search of goals but his team hardly did justice to his promise in their opening match against Goa. Carlos said his team has to galvanise quickly and start producing results, identifying their opponents as one of the toughest teams of the tournament he expects a keen contest.
Chennai were badly let down by individual errors, that contributed to two of the three goals conceded against ATK. (IANS)
