COACHES COMMENT BEFORE THE MATCH
JUAN FERRANDO: “We have prepared plans. It’s a short (turnaround) time, but our job is to find solutions to the problems. I am not afraid, because it’s my job to try and find solutions whenever any problem exists.”
MANALO MARQUEZ: “We are not a defensive team. Except the last game, when Mumbai City FC pushed a lot in some moments, in the other games we had more and clear chances to win the game by more than one goal. Even against Jamshedpur FC, we scored late, they played well, but we had a lot of chances to score. If we are more clinical, my feel is that the season will be very good.”

REFEREE : Aditya Purukayasta.
It is not often that a stalemate attracts resounding reception from the home crowd but the several close goal-scoring chances that led to Bengaluru FC holding FC Goa to a 0-0 result at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium tonight defied that notion.
This match was always going to be gripping and gruelling, given that the two teams barely concede an inch whenever they lock horns against each other. The Blues hold a formidable record over the Gaurs in the Indian Super League (ISL), with the latter having beaten Bengaluru only thrice in 14 contests thus far. Tonight, it appeared that the home side would record their eighth win in the league over them, all thanks to their talismanic leader Sunil Chhetri. Nine minutes into the match, the striker had a fantastic opportunity with a headed effort.
Head coach Simon Grayson insisted prior to the game that his only objective at this moment is to make his team practice hard and implement those learning into the game. In a move straight out of the training ground, the 21-year-old Rohit Danu crossed in a delivery for his skipper and senior counterpart inside the box. Chhetri jumped impressively high, but one-time teammate and long-time friend Sandesh Jhingan joined hands with promising fullback Jay Gupta to deny the India skipper a goal that could have brought Kanteerava to its feet.
If Chhetri tried to get Bengaluru ahead on one end, seasoned goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu ensured that the scores remained level on the other. Goa had their Spanish creative wizard Victor Rodriguez stepping up for a free kick, where all he did was dink the ball into the 18-yard box for striker Carlos Martinez. However, Sandhu stood tall and aware to thwart the ball from hitting the back of the net. The custodian was definitely not happy with the way his backline lined up for this set-piece, and he made it known with some instructions to his teammates.
That didn’t stop the proceedings from calling him up for action once again, this time to stop a thunderous strike by Gupta. The ISL has given rise to new stars every other season, but for a 22-year-old left back to demonstrate such massive confidence not only whilst defending but also during taking serious attempts at notching goals for his side in an away game highlights the leaps and bounds by which youngsters have grown in their self-belief. Eventually, amidst substitutions and some tactical shifts, neither of the two sides broke the deadlock.

EAST BENGAL TO FACE FC GOA IN THEIR FORTH MATCH
COACHES IMPRESSION BEFORE THE MATCH
CARLES CUADRAT
"We played well against Bengaluru FC in the previous match and proved that we were the better side on the pitch. I am not giving any excuses, but the fact is that we have to learn from the defeat of the previous match."
"We not only have to prove ourselves in the field in every match but it is necessary to earn points. It is not enough to create more number of positive chances and concede less chances. The most important is to turn the match in our favour and earn points."
"If you see the table posted by ISL where the teams are ranked on the basis of expected goals difference, it shows that we are in the 4th position. I really think it should have been our position at the moment. We should have got at least 6 to 7 points from the first three matches."

MANALO MARQUEZ
"This is a significant match for us. People ask me about why FC Goa are different when playing at home and playing away. I think we have to be consistently good everywhere. 15-20 years ago maybe, it was clear when you play at home or when you play away - the difference was too much. It has changed now, and teams play in the same style everywhere."
"Of course, we love to play in front of our fans, but even in an away game, I wouldn’t want to make too many changes (to how the team plays). I’m very optimistic about this, and just like I’ve been saying from day one, I think that this will be a good season for us."
“East Bengal FC have several quality players, including two of my former players Javi Siverio and Borja Herrera who were with me both in Spain and at Hyderabad FC. They have an experienced side and this will be a tough game. But then, I believe that all games are tough, and whoever performs the best on the day takes home the three points. We will try to do this on Saturday.”
NAOREM MAHESH IN PRE MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE
"It's obviously a privilege to be here. East Bengal is providing me with opportunities and that's why I'm part of the national team as well. I believe I'll make significant improvements under the guidance of the coach and the entire management, including the coaching staff. They provide a lot of valuable details, and I'm confident I'll improve a lot from here. There's no pressure, only pleasure. It's a pleasure to be here, not pressure."
REGARDING FC GOA: "They play really well, even in the Durand Cup. Everyone knows they excel in both attacking and defensive aspects of the game. They have some experienced players, such as Odei (Onaindia) and Sandesh Paaji (Jhingan). Regarding the team, they are truly impressive."
