Kochi Blue Spikers’ skipper Karthik stated that they will give their best in their last two league stage matches in the ongoing Prime Volleyball League 2022.
Kochi Blue Spikers have been struggling in the inaugural edition as they have managed only a solitary win in the four matches they have played.
Kochi had lost their previous match against Calicut Heroes by 3-2 and they would aim to be at their best in the upcoming matches. In fact, Kochi will have their work cut out in their next match as they will face table-toppers Ahmedabad Defenders, which have won four out of their five matches, on Tuesday at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad.
“The team is in a positive mindset, and we’ll make sure we’ll go all out in our last two league matches,” he said.
“There have been times when we have attained a good lead, and then we have given it up in one crucial moment. The coaches and the management have noticed that, and we will try to hold on to our lead in the upcoming matches,” Karthik said.
On the other hand, Ahmedabad Defenders have already sealed for the semi-final spot. L.M. Manoj is delighted that the team is through to the last four of the tournament.
“We are focussing on winning our match against Kochi Blue Spikers at the moment. We are not worried about whom we meet in the semis, we will give our best in the match. We are coordinating well on the court, and everyone has been supporting each other throughout the tournament,” Manoj said.
“Our coaches have done a great job. Their efforts have helped us perform very well in this tournament. Both the head coaches – Dakshinamoorthy sir and Sajad sir have been great pillars for the team this season,” Manoj explained.
