By conceding 14 goals in five matches, the worst among the 11 teams, the Red and Gold brigade have been far from impressive in the top-tier league. The Jose Manuel Diaz-coached side had their best match against Chennaiyin FC when they held the Marina Machans to a goalless draw.
But they were back to square one, conceding a 3-4 defeat to FC Goa in their last outing, courtesy East Bengal바카라s porous defence. Having played half of their matches in the first leg, the bottom-placed East Bengal have just two points to their kitty and things can become worse if they're unable to buck the trend.
바카라We have played 5 matches till now and in some of them, we haven't converted our chances to win when we had the opportunity,바카라 the East Bengal chief coach Diaz said ahead of their match. 바카라Kerala Blasters have a compact team, have hard-working players and it will be difficult to beat them. It will be a complicated match.바카라
That their ace goalkeeper Arindam Bhattacharya is still to be recovered means Diaz has a tough task ahead against a team who have just picked up the momentum with their first win of the season, a 2-1 victory over a resolute Odisha FC.
바카라Arindam is still injured, we need to go step by step about him,바카라 Diaz said. Giving further injury updates, the Spaniard said Jackichand Singh and Darren Sidoel are also down with injuries. 바카라Jacki has been improving but is not in a state to complete a whole practice session. Darren Sidoel is out with a hamstring injury and we must be cautious about these injuries,바카라 he added.
After suffering a defeat to ATK Mohun Bagan in the ISL 2021-22 opener, Kerala Blasters are now unbeaten from three matches. The Ivan Vukomanovic-coached side would look to continue their ascent to the top half of the table.
바카라It바카라s a nice feeling when you win, but the team wants to continue (winning). We want to play good football, to achieve certain things -- controlling the game, build up the atmosphere that we need to get a positive result,바카라 the Serbian coach said.
바카라East Bengal are a good team and (with) the players they have now, their place on the table may be undeserved, but that's football. We are playing against a very good team, and it'll be a very difficult game,바카라 he added.
