Delhi Dynamos FC defensive midfielder Chicao eyes breaking the chain of three successive draws at home ahead of their Hero Indian Super League Season 2 encounter against FC Pune City at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi on Thursday.

The last three matches in New Delhi ended in 1-1 draws, against NorthEast United FC, Mumbai City FC and defending champions Atlético de Kolkata, and Chicao said it was high time his team returned to winning ways.

“I’ve noticed that teams are struggling to play at home. We won away games and when we came back, it was harder. We have to have more attitude in our home games, need to be more offensive. Our coach has been demanding this from us, to improve and get a win at home. And for us foreigners, we have to take more responsibility and do our best to win,” the Brazilian, who scored in Delhi’s first win this season against Chennaiyin FC, told reporters on Wednesday.

Delhi will put one foot in the semifinals if they win on Thursday but marquee player-cum-coach Roberto Carlos wasn’t letting that affect him. “I won’t be worried. Tomorrow, we know we have to get on the pitch and get the win. The problem is sometimes we are unlucky and we can’t convert. But my team is doing its best to win. But we have to be a little patient,” Carlos said.

Carlos also provided an insight into his decision of having four captains this season. “It’s something we tried at Corinthians. I have Chicao, [John Arne] Riise, [Florent] Malouda and [Hans] Mulder. Anas [Edathodika] and Robin [Singh] are leaders and will also get a chance to captain later. It’s a good way to divide the responsibility and it also helps to motivate the players to be leaders. I think it’s good for the environment of the squad. There is Toni [Doblas] as well, though I haven’t given him the armband because we already have so many captains. I think it has worked so far,” he said.
