ISL 2022-23: I’m very upset when there is talk about sacking – ATK Mohun Bagan’s Juan Ferrando

There were speculations that ATK Mohun Bagan’s head coach Juan Ferrando could be sacked if the result against Kerala Blasters FC didn’t go their way. The Spaniard said he feels very upset when there is talk about sacking as it wastes a lot of time.

The Mariners earned their first win of the season after they defeated the Tuskers by 5-2 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kochi on Sunday. Dimitrios Petratos scored a fine hat-trick for the visitors’ while Joni Kauko and Lenny Rodrigues also found the back of the net to help their team secure three crucial points after they had lost their opening match of the season against Chennaiyin FC by 2-1.

Responding to a sacking rumor question, Ferrando said in the post-match press conference, “I’m so sorry, but here in India, you lose a lot of energy, a lot of time, in these stupid things. My job is to work with the team every day. My contract is from Sunday to Sunday because it depends on the results”.

“I’m very upset when there is talk about sacking this player, sacking this coach. You lose a lot of time in these things.”

The Spaniard was delighted that his players were able to deliver under pressure and praised them for their good show.

“For me, it’s [the atmosphere] is amazing, but it’s difficult for the players to play here [in Kochi] because [of] the crowd, it’s maximum pressure. The players need to work under pressure.”But, I think this point is very important for the players to improve because this is normal football. It’s necessary to work under pressure because this is real football. Here, in Europe, in South America, it’s this style.”

ATK Mohun Bagan will take on East Bengal FC at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, Kolkata on 29th October.
