“We have a good squad, we have good players” - Kerala Blasters FC head coach Ivan Vukomanovic
While speaking at the pre-match press conference, Kerala Blasters FC head coach Ivan Vukomanovic said: “In a certain period of the season, when you're looking for results, and when we had three consecutive defeats, you try to shuffle things. It was a coaching decision and we started with the victory in Guwahati, and then later on now we are on a consecutive winning streak. But it doesn't mean that now we think less for someone. We have a good squad, we have good players and I'm glad as a coach that everybody can jump in at any moment, play for the team, and do things because everybody knows their jobs.”
“We would like actually to have these kinds of situations that you can live those last moments of the game at ease. There is a big judgment of character and mentality and then when you do all those things, there are things that you have to deal with, as you say at the end of the game, actually fighting for the points, fighting spirit, character, you know, not allowing your opponents to score the goal,” he added.
“This is crucial because we were analysing the games in the last two seasons in the bubble, we were seeing many teams were dropping points in the second part on December and the first part of January which is a crucial part of the season,” Kerala Blasters FC head coach concluded.
