Sandesh Jhingan's stupid predictable defending gave away the penalty..had he not dived like that ref would not have been mistaken into giving that penalty..anyways he then turned from zero to hero with an awesome assist to get the goal..makes me wonder why the hell did Kerala pay idiots like Wes Brown,Berba and Hume to some extent..
It is nice when you get goals; it’s nice for the supporters and for the league. On the other hand, there is no good in conceding goals. We cannot afford that. It should be an interesting game tomorrow (Saturday). As per my experience so far, the team that is likely to win is the one which makes less mistakes. In Tennis, the players who make less unforced errors are likely to win; it is the same here.
I hope we make less mistakes because we had been very expensive in our errors in the last match. I hope that both teams will show an attractive game. We’ll do everything to stop FC Goa from scoring. It will be big challenge for us tomorrow (Saturday) to play against an offensive side like Goa and restrict them from scoring. The best way to keep zero (clean-sheet) means to have good attack and keep your opponent far away from goal.
Spanish football was the most attractive football in the last few years and Sergio (Lobera) has done a very good job. FC Goa are on the top of the league standings; they score many goals. The Spanish players have good mentality. Some of the players have shown special qualities. To have a strong team is always nice. It will be big challenge for us.
We are getting stronger and better with each game. We are looking on our organization to be more compact. I hope we put up a good show in a place like this where people have passion for football. I hope we keep our goals conceded (column) zero and score a few against them.
Even the best of football players make mistakes and that makes football interesting. We are working on this but you can never be sure what would happen on the field because you do everything perfect in the training but things get complicated when something happens on the pitch. Tactical mistakes one can control but you can’t control these because you can’t control a human.
Jamshedpur too want to score goals here. Everyone has different style and philosophy of training and games. I think for every team the plan is to score a goal more than what you receive. The supporters want to see more goals, they want to see more chances and see attractive football.
The expectation to score at Goa is a big motivation for us rather than being a difficulty. It will challenge and test us to not give them many chances on goal. We will have to find a way to score goals. It will be one big test for us and I hope we do well.
I am not someone who comes for a draw. My temperament is to always to try to win. If you do everything to win, you don’t go disappointed. Getting a result is different but you have to try. We have to put all our energy to win this game and if everyone does this from their side, you cannot go like a loser even if you lose the match.
Chennai do not look threatening in attack at all.. All 3 of their attacking players are always on bench.. Jude is just a headless chicken.. And Rafael does his job best as a defensive midfielder. Last 2 games of Chennai looked different after Mihelic came in
Comments
You wouldn't have scored had Chennaiyin scored and sat back to defend
You were completely dominated
Chennai had more possession more shots more corners and more chances created
Jeje desperately needs someone to play off him. Hope both Gregory and Mihelic play next match.
Rapheal seems to tire very easily.
Defense apart from Jacki miss was solid as usual. Should have won against a under pressure KBFC.
