Sunday last weekend it was first time the two-time I-League
champions Bengaluru FC plays for the first time ever in Indian Super League
(ISL) the first match of the season was against Mumbai City FC which was played
at Bengaluru’s home stadium Sree Kanteerava stadium. The night turned out to be
remembering for the fans of the JSW Steel-owned outfit as they strolled to a
2-0 victory over Mumbai FC. The head coach
of the winning side Albert Roca expressed his satisfaction at starting the
tournament with a win. However, they were dominating the game but able to score
only 2 goals.
“I am just happy to win, believe me,” he asserted. “Big
teams also fail to score sometimes. Real Madrid right now having problems to score.
“They had good defenders. Yes, it is just a question of creating more chances
and taking advantage of that. Today was good but we have to work on this. We
have good strikers, but what we want is a balance between defence and attack. We
did that well today and because of that we won.”
The match was one of the tempting matches of
this season, atmosphere of the fans at the stadium was electric as all wanted
to see Roca’s players in ISL, terming the relationship between the club and the
fans was close. “It is very important for a club. It is great for a city to see
that so many fans are coming today to support us. The first victory was
important for them to come again. I think I am quite happy with the inclusion
of one more foreigner to my team. I am happy with their performance. In the
training sessions also, they proved that they are ready. Everyone one of them
wants to play. We have a lot of games in hand as we also participate in AFC
Cup. I would like to give them more minutes and build up a rhythm. Said by Spanish
manager Albert Roca
