“Eugenson Lyngdoh is a big name in India but, for us, he is not more important than any other player in the team,’ stated Habas. “The responsibility should be divided amongst everyone on the pitch. Of course, he can be a serious goal threat, but he is just as important as anyone in the squad.”
The quality of refereeing in the ISL has been a subject of debate, but the former Valencia CF manager elected not to criticize the ISL referees. He said: “Referees are also human beings. They also make mistakes and I understand that. In the past, we have suffered because of wrong refereeing decisions, but we have to focus only on our games. Referees are also a part of the game.”
The Chennaiyin fans have been showing unrest on Facebook and Twitter, with many questioning Materazzi’s inability to pick up where they had left off last season, after losing key players in Elano Blumer and Stiven Mendoza. Speaking to the press on Monday afternoon, he questioned the loyalty of the fans, with the stadium attendance going down with each passing game.
“We will keep on fighting because we’re the first ones who cheer for Chennai,” stated Materazzi. “Maybe, you can help us out by coming to the stadium in huge numbers like 30,000. You can definitely help us out. I’ve been a fan as well when I was a kid, but you identify good fans during times of crisis. It’s easy to cheer for the team when they’re winning. We need the fans to cheer for us even when we’re not winning.”
“Regarding my chances of being here next year, I’m very straightforward,” claimed Materazzi. “I don’t have anything to hide. The whole thing with [Kervens] Belfort was made up. I just wanted to shake hands with him. This thing was made to irritate the Kerala fans. When I’m subjected to injustice, I get upset. It’s not that I don’t want to be here. It’s not that I’m upset with anyone at the ISL. It’s not just what happened, and I’m upset because I was being subjected to injustice.”
Well, he has to complement a certain 'circus' critic ...but jokes apart, though i have had some serious disagreements with him, i have found that he is passionate about anything related to Indian football
