Hyderabad FC head coach Thangboig Singto feels the only thing they can do is keep working hard to get the desired results in the ongoing Indian Super League 2024-25 season. The Nizams have got off to a slow start in the 11th season, losing both of their matches against Punjab FC and Bengaluru FC and thus find themselves at the bottom of the standings.
Singto’s team will take on Marina Machans on Tuesday and they will be determined to get their first point of the season. The gaffer wants his team to train and plan better but more importantly, execute their strategies on the pitch to get positive results.
Singto said in the pre-match press conference, “We’re trying to bring another striker. Hopefully, that works, And if these two strikers are there, it will depend on maybe we rotate or maybe we play together. So, a little bit more experience for him when he comes in. And hopefully, we’ll add more goals than what happened last season.
“I think it’s about, again, not easy to score goals. But to win games, you need goals. So, we’re trying to look at players who can come in and contribute on time. Once they come in, hopefully, tomorrow, let’s see how it goes. But I believe that once we play a tough game, it’s going to be. Then we have a better stay up front. And better solidity in the back.” Thangboi Singto quipped.
“The only thing we can do is keep working hard. Train better. Plan better. And hopefully, we get good results. Football is all about churning out results. If you don’t play well, maybe you still earn points. They say that a good or a competitive team, even if they win or they play badly, they still maybe get one point.The result will show,” Thangboi Singto concluded.
Hyderabad FC have committed some defensive errors in the first two matches, which has led to their downfall and Singto is hopeful of coming up with an improved show.
“Defensively, yeah. Some of the goals we conceded would have been better. Alex Saji was the first one to accept that. Now we have signed Stefan Sapic, whom we lovingly call Safa. Hopefully, he creates a new good partnership with Alex Saji or another centre-back. We also have Alan Paulista now. So that partnership should work as well,” Thangboi Sinto said.
