Margao: After Mumbai City FC’s goalless draw against FC Goa in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Margao on Tuesday, Islanders head coach Petr Kratky said he was happy with just one point in the game. .
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Kratky admitted that they wanted to win against FC Goa but they are still happy with just one game.
He said that they need to improve in some areas and apart from that he was happy with the game as they managed to keep clean sheets.
“Obviously, we want to win, but looking at the way the game went, I’m very happy with this point. But again, I want to win. So, I was a little disappointed. But looking at the way the game went, we need to improve in some areas to score more goals. But overall, I am happy that in (my) first game, we did not concede a single goal and kept a clean sheet. I am very happy,” Kratky said as quoted by the ISL’s official website.
He reported that he had more possession of the ball in the game, but the head coach said that he needed to score more goals in addition to holding the ball.
“Let us stick to our procedures. Just review the game as there were a lot of positive things from our side. We have a lot of property, but we don’t want possession just for the sake of possession.”
We want to score goals. “So we have to work on that part of the game where we can be more dangerous in the offensive zone.”
Kratky further said that he is looking forward to his first home match in Mumbai and hopes that everyone will come to support.
“I want to say thank you very much. We are always happy to see fans in the stadium, and we like it, accept it and thank them very much. So I am looking forward to the home match and the first match, a home game for me too. Hopefully, everyone will come and support the team,” he concluded.
