"I think that's the big thing that people will see.” - Bengaluru FC's head coach Simon Grayson
During the pre-match press conference, Bengaluru FC's head coach Simon Grayson said: "They (NorthEast United FC) have got a new coach. It's never easy going to the NorthEast in the first place. It's a new challenge for us. They are playing a different style of football and have got different players in there. Again it's another team whether they are at the bottom of the division or top of the division, we respect."
"I said to my players that I can't believe we lost the game through no real fault of our own. We kept working, we did lots of good things and all we have to do is to keep believing that we are going in the right direction. The goal is there for us to try and achieve, until we can't achieve that goal we are not giving up on it," Simon Grayson added.
"I think that's the big thing that people will see. The results have not gone our way but our team keeps going till the very end. We just have to keep believing in the things we are doing because I see a lot of good things in training and matchday situations. If we can put everything together we can still go on a run," Bengaluru FC's head coach concluded.
