Kerala Blasters were faced with an arduous task of recovering from a 6-0 drubbing as they got ready to take on Spanish top division side Girona FC in the Toyota Yaris laliga World tournament here on Friday.
The Indian Super league franchise, who conceded half a dozen goals against A-league side Melbourne FC in the tournament opener, would want to end their campaign on a positive note at the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium.
Blasters head coach David James was focused on the match and said they will not take any unnecessary pressure.
"We will not want to put any sort of pressure on us by thinking about our opponents, we are here to play some good competitive football and entertain the home crowd.
“It will be a great learning for all the young players from our team to face a top tier European club like Girona," said James.
Preparing for the upcoming season, Blasters have also made some domestic signings.
