“Football is both very challenging and very simple at the same time. The key to success remains the same—work hard, stay focused, and have a talented squad”.
“Mohun Bagan SG have been more clinical in the final third compared to us. We’ve created chances but haven’t converted enough, and that’s an area we need to improve”.
