The championship victory signifies the end of a swift four-week preparation period for the team. Emphasising the challenge of forming a unified bond in such a brief time, Arthur said, \u201cFour weeks to build a bond and shape a team is a very short time, and it is extremely challenging. That\u2019s why we are incredibly proud of what we have achieved. I believe we have done it very well\u2014we have created a good, solid unit, and in the end, that was reflected on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arthur highlighted the need to keep an offensive mindset when tackling the Ranchi Royals, a team they had faced three times already in the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThey are a fantastic team to play against, with a very attacking style that also makes for great entertainment for the spectators. We are extremely proud of how we performed against one of the best teams in the competition, and that is what matters most to us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Even while safeguarding a one-goal lead in the final moments of the match, the Lancers' approach was to keep attacking instead of retreating into a purely defensive stance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt is always important to keep playing our natural game. The danger in sitting back and only defending is that it allows the opposition to attack continuously. We made sure we stayed positive, kept attacking, and even though they created a few chances, we stood strong together as a unit,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Arthur emphasised how the home crowd's support has contributed to such a successful run, saying, \u201cThe home crowd is always a huge bonus. The energy they bring lifts us, even if it\u2019s just by a few percent, it makes a real difference. That atmosphere is incredible, and we have loved every second of it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
