PANAJI: Ahead of their Hero ISL clash, coaches of Mumbai City FC and FC Goa were engaged in a war of words as the competition heads into the business end of the season.
“We are playing against a very good team,” said Mumbai City FC coach Sergio Lobera. “They are playing under pressure because they need to reach the playoffs and now, there are more teams competing to achieve this target. We are thinking about ourselves, trying to improve a few things. As always, it’s important to know some details about the opponent.”
“But the most important thing for me as a coach is if my team play 100%, I am very confident and positive that we’ll get the three points tomorrow,” added the former FC Goa boss.
Fellow Spaniard and FC Goa coach Juan Ferrando feels his predecessor’s side is under pressure.
“For Goa, we have pressure on us every game because we want to improve and get three points every game,” he said. “Maybe Mumbai have more pressure because of their budget, their team it’s supposed to be ready to win the championship. The most important us is to improve, play good, prepare a good plan (against our opponents) and get the three points.”
