Ricki Herbert commented on the team's journey so far "We've enjoyed been on the road, it has been a good experience for our foreign players to play in different cities. Some of the indian players haven't played in the Ileague and it has been a huge opportunity for them."

James Keene has been one of the fittest players in the NEUFC side. He shared his thoughts on the team "We've got good coaches and the young indian players have a lot of energy. They have a very bright future ahead of them. They have passion and work hard. I am honored to part of such a good team"
