We gave away silly goal says Chennaiyin FC interim coach Sabir Pasha after 4-1 defeat against Jamshedpur FC

 

Chennaiyin FC suffered a 4-1 defeat against Jamshedpur FC in their latest Indian Super League clash. The defeat ended all the little hopes of qualifying for the semifinals this season.

First-half goals from Ritwik Das, Boris Singh, Daniel Chima Chukwu saw Jamshedpur FC take a comfortable lead. Chennaiyin FC looked completely out of sorts in the first half. They came back in the game in the second half but till then it was not enough.

Chennaiyin FC’s interim coach Sabir Pasha pointed out the errors in defence as he also felt that they lacked discipline from setpieces. “We gave away silly goals and were not marking which shows the lack of discipline after so much work. I think we have to be disciplined in set-pieces. And we were very strong with that in the practice sessions but somehow, we lost that,” Pasha stated in the post-match press conference.

Chennaiyin FC have a few games remaining in their current campaign and when quizzed whether more players will get their chances in these, Pasha instantly agreed. He revealed how the team’s main motto is to play more Indian talents and get them ready for the next season.

“The boys are showing it and we will try to put more Indian players into the focus. So this is a chance where they can go in and show what they can do for us in the next year. I think that is the right platform for them and we hope that we can do that,” the Chennaiyin FC interim coach added.

Nerijus Valskis scored the solitary goal for the Marina Machans. The Lithuanian turned up against his former side and did deliver in the second half. Speaking on whether it was the only bright spot or not, Pasha explained how the fight shown by his men in the second half was impressive and the goal was just a reflection of the good work done by them.

“Yeah, like the bright spot, are the challenges like 50-50 challenges there, which were made, that we didn’t see in the first half. I think we have to start doing that, we have to be competitive, we have to show that we are competitive, once we show that, it is the reflection of that goal. Like once you start playing the duels, once you start putting your legs into the 50-50 challenges. I think it shows competitiveness and that is where you where the goal was reflected,” Pasha concluded.
