Mohun Bagan Super Giant head coach Jose Molina was delighted after a great performance against NorthEast United FC in the ongoing Indian Super League at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Guwahati on Sunday.
The Mariners registered a 2-0 win with Manvir Singh and Liston Colaco scoring in the second half after a goalless first half.
The visitors had 55.4% possession and took four shots on target against the Highlanders. Molina was glad as he felt the team ticked the right boxes against the home team.
“Today, we did a great job. From Vishal doing some important saves in some key moments until the last moment (including) the players who came in. Great effort from all the players. Great performance, great goals. Maybe we could have scored some more but okay. Happy with the performance, happy with the three points,” Molina said in the post-match press conference.
The Spaniard heaped praise on the performances of Biswas and Kuruniyan and lauded the depth and competitiveness of his squad.
Molina said, “I don’t want 11 players in my team. I want 26 who try to work, try to help the team. Doesn’t matter who is on the pitch, in every moment we can be sure he can fight, he is going to play well. And in my opinion, I think we are achieving that point. You talked about a big absence today, Alberto and Subashish and Dippendu and Ashique were great. Great performance.”
“Absolutely happy for them because they deserve and are working really hard everyday to prove to everybody the kind of players they are. I can see that everyday, but the rest of the people cannot. And today they proved to everybody that they are great players, they are ready to play for Mohun Bagan SG and help us win matches. More competition between us (in the squad) and (they) try to be still better. Alberto and Subhashish know they have to work hard everyday to be in the lineup,” Molina added.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant will next take on Kerala Blasters FC at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, Kolkata on Saturday.
