Mohammedan SC’s Andrey Chernyshov admitted that Mohun Bagan Super Giant showed them the true level of the Indian Super League. Mohammedan SC suffered a 3-0 loss against the Mariners at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium, Kolkata on Saturday.
Jamie Maclaren, Subhasish Bose, and Greg Stewart scored for Jose Molina’s team in the first half to give a thumping win to their team.
“Today, Mohun Bagan SG showed (us) the true level of ISL. They played very well and have many quality players. I can’t say that my team was very bad. We tried something, we fought but there was a big difference in quality between them and us,” Andrey Chernyshov said during the post-match press conference.
“This can happen in football especially when you play against a strong team like Mohun Bagan SG, we have to be very good in our physical condition. Today we weren’t. Maybe we were tired after these three games. We have to accept that the opponent was very good today. We can’t do anything about it,” he added.
The visitors were without the services of midfielder Alexis Gomez for this match but Chernyshov believes the defeat wasn’t down to his absence.
“Alexis played well in the first three matches but his absence is not the reason for our defeat. Maybe in the first few games our opponents didn’t give their best as they maybe didn’t take us seriously as we came from the I-League. But now teams have understood that Mohammedan SC is also strong and they are taking us more seriously,” he said.
“But today, it was about the difference in quality. It was as if we drove Tata and they drove Ferrari,” he reiterated.
The Russian manager admitted they need to improve to compete with the other teams in the ISL.
“We learned today that we need to improve in every aspect. We need to be stronger, we need to have more quality, we need to be faster with the ball,” he said.
“I don’t think we made a mistake with team selection. These players won the last match. I feel the players did well today, I don’t think I can complain about that,” he concluded.
Mohammedan SC will take on Kerala Blasters FC at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan, Kolkata on 20th October after the international break.
