Credit to the team for sticking together in difficult times: Hyderabad FC’s Thangboi Singto after win against Mohammedan SC

Hyderabad FC head coach Thangboi Singto was delighted after a 4-0 win against Mohammedan SC at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan, Kolkata in the Indian Super League on Saturday. Singto gave credit to his team for sticking together despite enduring difficult times in the tournament.

This was the first win of the season for the Nizams and they will look to continue the impetus. The visitors were able to hit the ground running as Allan Paulista scored in the fourth minute of the game. Sapic scored in the 12th minute to double the team’s lead whereas Paulista scored his second goal of the night in the 15th minute to put the tourists ahead by 3-0.

Shrivas then scored in the 51st minute to put the game to bed as Hyderabad FC completed a comprehensive victory.

“We had a big struggle. But with the new ownership coming in, the rocky boat has settled down a bit. Supporters supporting us on and off the field have been helping us. So, all the players are believing. Some experienced players like Lenny coming in have helped the younger players. Also, the management believing in us has helped. We are an all-Indian staff and it’s not easy but credit to the support staff, medical team for being together. Today there was some luck with us. But we created that luck,” Singto said in the post-match press conference.

Singto also revealed the selection process to pick his players in the ISL.

“Before signing the players we do some research. This is my ninth season in ISL and when I spoke to them, I really relate to players who are good human beings. So, we are looking at players who will not just contribute to our game, but through their persona can help the team gel together,” he said.

“Last season, we had one win and this season in five games, we have one win and a draw. Hopefully, we continue the good work,” he added.

The gaffer was delighted for the players and the fans after the much-awaited win for the club.

“Very happy for the team, very happy for the players. and for the fans too,” he said.

“There was a huge crowd today (at KBK). When we play in Kerala, I feel really happy because they have the yellow army. Also, in derbies (in Kolkata) lots of people come to the stadium. I’m sure when we start winning like this, our fans will also come to watch the games. The fans want excitement, a good game and to win. We are trying to bring our supporters to the stadium with good performances,” he added.

Hyderabad FC will next take on Mohun Bagan Super Giant at the G.M.C Balayogi Athletic Stadium, Hyderabad on Wednesday.
