Ferrando will no doubt be buoyed by the team putting up a brave fight to hold leaders Mumbai City to a 3-3 draw in their last game. "This team is working hard in training and in matches," he said. "The most important thing is, they have a strong personality and they want to win all the time. I'm very happy because when the score isn't good or when we are in a difficult moment, they keep going and display a strong mentality."
Despite Chennaiyin's woes, Ferrando knows better than to take them lightly, especially considering they lost to the Blues in the reverse fixture. But the Spaniard insists that the result will have no bearing on Saturday's game. "I remember in (in the first game) against Chennaiyin, we had only two days to prepare for the game," he said. "The team was very tired. Now the players may be tired but the mentality is totally different. We are more prepared. Sometimes we get it wrong in transitions but it is better in the last few games."
