yeah good after as one more home game I mean how you look forward all the plans the last game seen the second goal it could have been stopped from what we saw it could have been stopped at goalkeeper been a little more alert so one little more alert is one area we feel that could could improve going forward anyway so I think you're right I think the first first and foremost to give balance to the game a I think we we did very very well for prior to the E B go the first goal should
have could have been avoided the second goal of course you're chasing the game by that time we make a mistake giving the ball away and there's things that could be added on to that from that so H I do agree with that that that's avoidable H but I felt for the first 55 minutes prior to us losing the goal which was avoidable being at home we actually did very very well in the game we created Five really good chances more than five but five really good chances if we think about it in respect of the
cor got a great cross in Daniel's header just goes by Daniel's got a nice ball from Lucas keeper makes a really good save down B down below H keeper has a very good save from deur from the corner Corner's Corner's delivery and then we good play with Lucas and ifan in the shot just whistles by the post and then the big talking point that we never spoke about after the game but we probably should have is it certainly might I mean I'm a huge advocate of VR as you know had we had VR the other
night we have a guaranteed penalty and Ali would have received a red card for the foul on Daniel Shima when Faro just cuts it across the goal Daniel's ready to tap it in and he's dragged around to the side so I mean that those are big big turning points now that doesn't excuse the fact that when we went one nothing behind certainly from my standing what I expect our reaction wasn't good enough but goals Chang games and had we got that because credit to SP goal they gave us enormous respect they sat everybody back behind
the ball H hoping for a quick Counterattack and by not taking our chances we've kind of played into their hands so there's certainly learnings from that but you're right it's a home game which we've not had a lot of this year and we want to get out score our goals take our chances win the game and put a smile on the fans faces that's important to me because we know we are not we're not the best supported team in the ISL but what we do have we have an incredible loyal loyal support base you know
the super Mas that the we have the fans obviously on on the other side as well h on both sides of the stadium these are hugely loyal fans so it's not about the the numbers we have it's the fact that they're there follow the team through thick and thin which they've had to because I think since season uh well I came 1920 the season before that sh finished last one three games all season so the only success relative success we've had is cly cly the two season I've been here when we took him to the
final and last year how strong we finished from a team that been nowhere near the playoffs into to the playoffs so there always going to be runs and periods when you've lost games it's not nice it's a horrible feeling nobody hurts more than us I can assure you but we're the ones that can change it and we're the only ones that can go on that field the fans come yeah please the fans come they support the team but it's up to us to get a smile on the face and to your point do those things
better take your chances but even when it's 0 still defend the situations better so uh yeah that's something we spoke about they're a very honest bunch great bunch of lads but we need to make sure there's more Focus that fire that determination to make sure we get back to you know the the good qualities that Shai's always been known for and tomorrow provides an opportunity to do that be a tough game I think haad are a better side than if you even look at the last game against G they had so many chances but like
ourselves never took them and they get punished heavily we just have to make sure we're more clinical last few games were not scored when with had chances prior to that we were free scoring that's what we need to get back to so yeah things to learn things to better but you don't because you the that little mini run become a bad team in the space of 3 weeks prior to the the the last game before the Mumbai game that we drew had we won that now you went second in the league so that shows you
how tight how tight the league can be we need to get back to winning and then you'll start to elevate up the league again which we did last year when we arrived in the playoffs and that's what we look to do good afteron yeah so Co from what I observed so there were times where Lucas was asking the ball from the players but he was not pass the ball and it occurred like some frequently in the past few matches uh how do you see this he no well I think when Lucas plays that that that
position well that that's do is on Lucas to be in free space to receive the ball it's easy to say all but the bottom line is when we have the ball it's more than just Lucas has to go on the ball and luas had a lot of the ball and he some nice things he slipped cornering a few times had a nice little interchange with with Ean but I'm a huge believer in Lucas with ability he's got but I want to see more of it so it's not just about saying your Lucas were available for
53 minutes see this is the thing with all due respect when people look and a game finishes and you've lost a game then it's easy just oh critical critical critical you have to look at the game and give balance to it if you watch the game as you did you watch the game yeah you were there so for 55 minutes the boys were excellent should have been in front at the point that we lose a goal to go one behind and again for forgive me for repeating this but our reaction to that wasn't good enough
and that's a bit that annoy me prior to that the boys were excellent we should have me a couple of goals in front so you can't just all of a sudden say oh because you've lost the game or this and that you have to be fair and give balance to the good stuff as well which there was an awful lot of but you're right we need to address the other little things if we can free them up in space earlier then of course that that's a good point that's something we look at and that's why
we go in the training ground and continue to do that as I said not because over to punch the nose I told you this when we would be a when beat Northeast when you beat J shed away from home big big results that we are a team that the more we work together the better we'll be there'll be bumps in the road because it's a new group and Lucas is part of that new group and Fa tell me be the first to tell you coming in climatizing to the the culture the climate is taking a
lot of time but you've seen some flashes of Excellence from them we need just more of that and that's when we do that as you see when forigners like Corner keep producing consistently then of course that helps the team so I think that's a good point i s uh even though we have four C from India but we couldn't able to see the stability in the Midfield so say that again the first B even though we have even though we have four Center Ms from India we can't able to see the stability in the Midfield
of our team so do you see that as a concern the stability in the Midfield yeah we can see n in the middle even though we have three players in the bench he's saying we have four Indian midfielders yeah uh so what is it saying you don't want n Play that that's not the meeting but you can't we can't able to see many players and the stability in the Midfield excellent he but he doesn't have support from thefield I don't understand say he doesn't have support who doesn't have support he's asking whether you want to
change the is there but we couldn't able to see the stability we had in the season six or season six right so then that's a complain you so season six we play we played tapa and we played yeah and in season six you obviously at that time you played five foreigners so in season six when we played the two we had Rafa in front we had Andre shambry and we had vquez we had shant so that's the that's the Personnel we had at that time so I think the if if you're comparing you're comparing the
team to season six no no I'm not comparing but we couldn't able to see the same Midfield engine in the this season he's got the best engine in the whole league the whole league Bar None he's got the best statistics in the whole league for a midfielder so uh I don't uh listen at the end of the day it's about finding balance I think people look at different things H but there's no doubt if we're going to play an nty corner and the number 10 can we get more from everybody I think that's I think
that's a fair point if that's what you mean can we get more we can always get more from other people and that's the only on us to do that but the man sitting next to me has been the best midfielder in the league he's got more it creates more chances anybody in the whole league h n I think there's still more to come from him and of course we spoke about Lucas earlier if it's in that position so we have pieces CU it's like a jigsaw it's like putting all the bits together and that's for
me to find that best solution to do that which we'll look to do so uh yeah that's things we always look at for sure thank you yes hi I'm Joan from Sports so could you talk about your opponents maybe tomorrow Hyderabad they also coming into the match on the back of like three defeats so they're also having a tough season a similar thing last season as well where they came to chenai on a tough run and they maybe edged out a one Zer win yeah well they scored a goal they' never been up the park
but again that again as we spoke about that was that game in particular all credit to them H they stuck in there they scored the last minute I think off a set play that got a Ricochet and that's other things as well I mean sometimes when games are tight when and not taking chances that can be uncontrollables you know we mentioned none of you mentioned I don't know why you never seen it the other night about the clear penalty and Daniel Shima what should have been a red C for an Ali but it's easy to
talk about other stuff so but again you always have to give balance but you're right I mean that that in many ways as horrible as that that night was actually was the best thing that happened to us because what happened after that I'll tell you what happened after that a Shen team that for 10 years since the history of the club had never won a game when it went a go behind yeah so we did it twice at home broke records but we went to Mo bagin came from behind beat them jedp Northeast and qualify
for the playoffs so we don't want that to happen in terms of losing the game tomorrow night but you're always look when you lose a game there's lessons to be learned there's things to be learned the biggest two things the other night one we need a better reaction if something an uncontrollable goes against you or whatever but the first thing there was a lot of really good things that happened in early in the game we should have been in front could been a couple goals in front should have a in my opinion should have without
get myself any trouble should have been a penalty and certainly when that happens it's a red card because there's no attempt to play the ball that's just the simple rules so for me the sooner V's brought in to the Isel H I want to help referees I don't want to be criticizing them we want to help them and V will do that because the lines are drawn he's either offside or he's not that's clear there will always be subjective there'll always be subjective H decisions is that apparent to or not but the clear and obvious
stuff they will get that right the stuff in Daniel sh night is the other night is clear and obvious 20 minutes into a game you go one nothing up the other team's down to 10 men if you score the pen if not they're still down to 10 men so these are huge moments but our reaction ey anyway our reaction certainly needs to be better than that but there's a lot of nice pieces that we are doing we just have to get the other to your point the young gentleman's point there about maybe it's that combination
that flow through the Midfield get that a little bit better but some nice stuff going on the biggest issue for us in defensively from the front to the back we need to make sure we're not giving soft goals away as a gentleman asked for the very first question of the day I think that's fair Corner yes from just to add on to the previous question like in the reverse picture like play Alex the C Defender was was a differentiator like he to T so what do you think like any plans with the difference or in
general what do you think about yeah I think sorry I never really answered your question so I'll go back to that I think Hyderabad and Tang boy I like and get huge respect for I think they've got some very good players now they' have the full compliment of foreigners they got some very talented young Indians because last year they were probably forced into giving those boys an opportunity and Alex Z's done well rabbie's done well jungas him in so I think they've got some very talented young players as Hyderabad it's probably a very good catchment
area up there Shen hands in that area as well so they always seem very good young players so we're very respectful of them but what I do know and we'll be very positive tonight in our team they play tomorrow night we're going out to win that game from the first most we've been very positive in how we play the Personnel we put on the field to try and win the game and uh and again I think they've got good players but so we we just to make sure our boys are very best the very best
want to show stuff and obviously be representive the supporters which is huge for me and that's what we look to do and I mean this young man at my left hand side epitomizes everything thing I look for in a shanine player yeah have disagreements in time that's the way we are but he knows what my demands are he wears his heart and his sleeve his energy is incredible his quality on the ball for me best Crosser at football in in the league but he can also score goals he provides goals but the work rate the
application he gives for his team that that should be you know if I'm a teamate I'm looking to think that's the level I want to be in terms of energy and desire and try for for my team anything for Conor for Conor so Conor after the last match you are seen sitting sad all alone in the corner of the field and you are you know isolated from all other players and you are feeling so how uh you are mentally prepared for the next game yeah Al obviously don't want to lose a game um but it's
done now um can't well on it good thing is we've got a quick T in 4 days or something after the last game so we have to regroup I say we had bad spills last season but I think from the boys that are here especially last season going have to Galvanize a group a bit and say you can go through bad patches but it's how you react so tomorrow night um will'll be massive for us and hopefully we've got a good performance and if we do I'm sure we'll win the game and I can assure
you it wasn't just Conor was sad all those boys were sad hav't lost the game so yeah they might sit in different places but they all feel the same pain nobody likes losing football games n hi yeah good to see you the does the playoff thing occupy your mind now no I I said you know this you and I go way back we spoke many times H the important thing of the playoffs is what the table shows in the last day of the season that's when you need to be in the playoffs would you like
to be in those positions now yeah which we were as I said the Mumbai game could have went second in the league three games or three weeks ago whatever it was so you don't become a bad team overnight what happens is one or two be a little bit fragile you have to build the confidence get that maybe you have to change things and look at different things that's that's always part of the process always part of and all due respect we know what we're doing because we mean successful all over the world but H yeah
listen we'd all love to be sitting those places know but teams I can assure you just now the teams are sitting 1 to six now won't be one to six at the end of the season so as we showed last year when everybody rotes off I mean season six was a perfect example when I came in the club had won three games the season before they were bought in the league and we took them not to the final on another day we would have won that final the chances we had but H and then and
this is the other thing you know could you've been here every year shine shanine FC have had fantastic coaches sa laslo Bando Thomas these were all good coaches never managed to a play even with top players Shanti Vell Rahim was here at the time deac wonderful Indian players and they still W there so we know what we're doing we did it last year again the the level and what we did broke records to do it and of course it's not nice now losing when you've lost some games but the only way you do that is
you get out you get your shoulders back you're ready to go you engage and you're positive and everything you do and that's why when you see tomorrow we're a really positive team get out to win a tough game but we know when we're at our best we can win those games and that's what we look to do we've got to be honest we got to be hard working that desire and then the quality kicks in it's not the other way about you know talent talent maybe many years ago a few Generations maybe I've got you
through games it's not enough now you've got to bring all the other qualities and that's what we look to do as we've done many many times before and when you do that and which I'm the thing that I'm craving is that for the fans to get a smile in their face with fans that travel to Kerala I know a lot of them personally I feel for them I engage with them when I can because I'm always open and open for conversation and chat but we know that we want to get a smile on their face
the only way to do that is score goals and win football games and that's what we look to do uh more than all of us more than the fans you know very well about Kean and G and you have signed them uh like for 3 years and 2 years so what plan how you said for them yeah the same plan as anybody else show me that you're ready to play in the team it's one thing we could sign anybody but some I can sign you tomorrow you need to show me you're ready to be the
team you understand so it's not just about signing you're signing somebody's name Indian Super League's littered with history of that signing big big names maybe the pass the sale by day maybe not the good thing with those two kids is they're young players they're young players they never played G never played many minutes at Mumbai maybe never showed enough to get in the team Kean never played many minutes in MO Bing shenai is not any lesser a club than know two we speaking about before so don't think for a minute we are we've got good
players they have to show me they're ready to B and they've had chances at different times In fairness to Kean Kean started the game at Jim shadpur did well through the and then removed him when vincey get injured so K's not done a long lot wrong probably just AIT restricted with the other boys up a fans came in played in the wide area T an international player and it's always the case when somebody says oh I would like him playing okay but is at the expense of somebody else who's also a good player that's why
you squads but what I said would say with those two they have exciting Futures ahead but those are they're the players that determine what they do in the field we can help we can pass on our experience knowledge wisdom whatever you want to call it but those are the boys that went ENT on the field as they both did last time out show us that they're ready to start games show us every day in the training field and when they do that fantastic and I've always shown you know I'm loyal to players when they come
in they do well then they stay in you know the only time they go the team is when they lose form and they put themselves out the too I mean your answers are all in very good detail similarly your plans should be could be in detail how much have they been able to execute it you feel game after game you have this how much have you feel they been able to executed oh yeah yeah so that that's a fair point I mean I think is a really good point I think ultimately a lot of the
in terms of the what you're building what the plans AB absolutely I think a lot of that has been executed in part but the final part and the key part of football is because I played there myself the key element of football is scoring goals that's the key element you could be a team that's have 30% possession limited chances your goalkeeper is a great game and you may have a striker that that punish the opposition off one chance so that's the point that we need to which my first point of the day we need to
be clinical I was very fortunate I played in that position I missed many chances but I was fortunate enough I was able to to score many goals because you need to be brave enough to put yourself in those situations missed a chance okay I'll take the next one what we need to do is take better percentage you won't take every chance but we need to take higher ratio than what we're taking just now and if we do that that will see us returning to winning games and moving up the league to the gentleman's point and
looking to arrive where we need to be everybody wants to be everybody craves those playoffs we're no different I've obviously had a fantastic taste of it you know doing it season six doing it last year at shanine doing it with Jim sh actually winning a shield at Jim shed BR which I don't think that'll ever be repeated with clubs of lower budgets to win a to win a shield because of the spending of the big clubs but we know what we're doing the players the young group they'll come together we'll get better as we do
but tomorrow is the important one because that provides the opportunity to get that going again and to your point when you win games confidence is better everybody looks sharper everybody looks quicker there's no sad faces and but the one thing about our environment it's always a positive environment you take your punch in the nose nobody feels more horrible than me when you lose a game trust me I only care only do football and family I don't care for anything else so we want to be winning football games we want to feel good about ourself getting
a smile in people's faces and it's as a head coach it's not a responsibility we take lightly you're not just responsible for a group of players responsible for a club for fans for a city you want to make sure you're representative of that that's why we need to go back to winning ways coach uh you are speaking about uh uh fixing the C so have you set any eye on the transfer window to fix those PES fixing adding adding to the pieces and yeah listen I'm always I'm always looking ahead there's always the the club
we are we're always going to be have to be a club that's going to have to look and see as as I've done when I've been in India football if there's a good player becomes available and OD all there'll be a young player because obviously what we uh budget wise everything else but if there's something there on the J Market that I think can help us then we're open to it and and that is what it needs to be so it needs to be a continued invol evolvement but not just there you're happy with that
we're always look to try and be better cuz that helps a group so uh and that's what we look to do couple you know he always AC injuries so just to finish obviously an's now back he trained with the group today so hopefully now he can step up whether he's able to be back for the Mumbai game then time will tell but now he's able to to come back with the group jet was sure had a little reaction so he'll not be available tomorrow and I just felt a little niggle at the end but hopefully
it'll be okay to be to be involved tomorrow but we'll know better tomorrow morning out with that everybody else is available oh good coach I mean in the season you coach in the 2019 and with the jamur you had two great captains and still we are a great Captain but uh what I feel that missing is you know the command from the back the command from the I know back line to all the players I feel that's missing with Ryan so how you how you see that coach but I don't think it's Miss Ryan I
think Ryan's a very good Captain I think everybody will when you've lost games everybody has opinions and it doesn't make them right or wrong but it just makes what you see and what you think but not Ryan does very well what I would say and I think this is more to the general point and I think it's it's a good point I think we can be more the whole team can be more vocal you should you know as much as Ryan appointed the captain when you're on that field you should have 11 captains when I
play I mean I know we go back H and the older ones who know this we all feel that each generation becomes a little bit quieter in terms of footballers but you need to living leaders I think something the corner getting better that it can still improve on that as well asking the other boys the young Indian players because everybody's different in terms of if we look at everybody in this room we all have different natures and different personalities some will be the life and soul with the party some will be quiet be reserved that's
fine but when you're on that football field you have to be a lion every one of them you understand because that's what it takes to win games everybody you know coming to the coming to the the party whatever you want to call and be vocal and organizing because sometimes in football a really to you which I think is a brilliant point a really good Shout good information is as important as a good pass but that's we need I think that's a good point that we can do more of that collectively I wouldn't single it out
anybody else but I think been a very good Captain but I think collectively we can do more of that so I I think that's a good point I think that's fair all good yeah just one question for Conor from publication U you hav't won at home yet so does that add a sense of pressure when you go into tomorrow's game for example uh no no no obviously we want to win at home um but I'll come and see a fe one perform tomorrow like we can or like we have them before against adisha Northeast games
number one um and no no problems I think we'll win tomorrow and then we'll kick on from there like we did last year anything right to that yeah it's very sad no the end of the day when you're particularly at home we've not had a lot of and because of how much the relationship the players have and with the fans they said H that's important for us that we try and put a smile on our face only we do that is to win games but the way you won't do it is feeling sorry for yourself
that's when everybody has to come together the word supporter is to support not just when you're winning but to support everything and our supporters do that to fa I mean they're so loyal they're colorful they get behind the team I thank them for that and what was is keep staying with your Club that's what you do and you keep winning you start winning then again that's a great feeling collectively okay thank you good get picture
