JOHN ARNE RIISE said on Tuesday that Delhi Dynamos won't take their foot off the pedal regardless of their qualification to the Indian Super League (ISL) semi-finals and would treat their remaining two home league matches with the utmost seriousness to overcome their deficiencies.
THE UNIFICATION OF ISL and I-League may see the newborn league retain the one-club-per-city model used in ISL. While this may be an incentive for new clubs to seek out new home cities, it may prove to be the end of the road for many existing clubs, and intensify the job crisis that many Indian footballers are experiencing today. Part 2 of 2.
PETER TAYLOR, who left his coaching post at Kerala Blasters in the middle of the ISL campaign this year, has spoken out about his time in India for the first time. In an interview with Sky Sports, he said the experience was great for him, but it was hard to work with the new Kerala Blasters management.
MUMBAI CITY player-coach Nicolas Anelka has called out the franchise's management for giving him a team that has been lacking in fire-power. While speaking to reporters in the pre-match press conference before Mumbai take on Chennaiyin FC tomorrow, Anelka said things would have been different if he had got the chance to pick his own players.
ATK GOALKEEPER Amrinder Singh has said that playing regular matches at I-League for Pune FC has helped a lot to prepare for the ISL challenge. Speaking to Bengali daily Ei Samay, Amrinder said he dreamed of helping Atletico de Kolkata win the ISL again and get earning his place in the national team.

FC GOA executed a step-by-step disintegration of their opponents as they recovered from a goal-deficit, took the lead and ruthlessly ran a 10-man Kerala Blasters to the ground courtesy a hat-trick and an assist from Reinaldo, and two superb assists from Leo Moura.
THINGS FELL APART for Kerala Blasters as the bottom-table team came into this must-win home encounter, took the lead, played well, then conceded twice to FC Goa and lost the lead, and ended the half with losing a player after Josue Currais was shown a red card for punching Jofre.
MOMENTARY LAPSES in defence made NorthEast United pay dearly as Delhi Dynamos were able to sneak a late winner past them at Guwahati tonight, landing a major blow to their semi-final bid while taking their own to the verge of success.
