ISL 2022:23: We have to be focused and committed – Kerala Blasters FC head coach Ivan Vukomanovic

Kerala Blasters FC head coach Ivan Vukomanovic believes his team has to be focused and committed in the ongoing Hero Indian Super League 2022-23 season. The Tuskers suffered a 3-1 loss against FC Goa at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Goa on Sunday.

Guarrotxena scored in the 35th minute for the home team whereas Noah Sadaoui gave a 2-0 lead to his side soon after. However, Kerala Blasters had a bit of an opening in the second half as Dimitrios Diamantakos scored through a header.

But, Redeem Tlang scored in the 69th minute for the Gaurs to put the game to bed and confirmed three points for his team.

“It is football, and we need to accept that there will be suspensions and injuries that we have to deal with. You have to be focused and committed, and the kind of errors in the first half cost us the points, and it is not pleasant to lose two games back-to-back. There are six more games to go, and we have to deal with the situation,” Vukomanovic said in the post-match press conference after the game.

The Yellow Army is currently in third place in the standings with eight wins in 14 matches and a total of 25 points. Vukomanovic added they need to be ready for the playoffs and manage the situation well in the upcoming matches to advance to the last six of the tournament.

“We have to be ready for the playoffs and manage the situation. This year we managed to win games both home and away so it is all about the momentum, if you are concentrated and ready to play such kinds of games so it does not matter if we play home or away,” stated the head coach of Kerala Blasters FC.

Kerala Blasters were not at their best against FC Goa and they will look to come up with a better show in the upcoming matches.

The Blasters will next face NorthEast United FC on Sunday at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kochi.
