Punjab FC ke coach ne apni team ko East Bengal ke clash se pehle apne gusse ko sahi tareeke se channel karne ki salah di hai.
Punjab FC ke coach Panagiotis Dilmperis ne apni team ko East Bengal ke match ke liye positive attitude ke saath ready hone ko kaha hai. ISL mein achha season khatam kar chuki Punjab FC ab December 17 ko East Bengal FC ke saath pehli baar is season khelne jaa rahi hai, Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan mein. Abhi tak Punjab FC 10 matches mein 18 points ke saath table par 5th position par hai aur unki defensive solidity ki wajah se kaafi notice ki gayi hai, kyunki unhone apne penalty area mein sabse kam touches aur attempts allow kiye hain.
Dilmperis ne kaha, “Hum apne defensive plan ke hisaab se khelte hain, lekin opponent ki strength aur weakness ke hisaab se usme thoda bahut badlav karte hain. East Bengal ke khilaaf kal bhi kuch aise hi approach hoga, kyunki unhone naye coach ke aane ke baad apni attacking approach ko kaafi improve kiya hai.”
Punjab FC ne achha season kiya hai lekin abhi recent matches mein unhe 3 losses ho chuki hain, aur last match mein unhe 1-2 se Jamshedpur FC ke khilaaf haar ka samna karna pada. East Bengal bhi apne last match mein Odisha FC ke khilaaf 1-2 se haar ke baad apni redemption chahega.
Dilmperis ne crowd advantage ko dismiss karte hue focus banaye rakha. Unhone kaha, “Har match ka apna ek unique challenge hota hai. Hamari philosophy hai ki hum purane matches se jo seekhte hain usse aage ke matches ke liye motivation banate hain.”
Unhone apne last defeat par bhi baat ki, “Hum last match ki haar ko apne frustration ka source bana rahe hain aur us frustration ko positive performance mein convert karne ka plan hai.”
Is match mein East Bengal ke 60,000 supporters ka crowd hone ki umeed hai, lekin Dilmperis isse setback nahi, balki ek opportunity samajhte hain. Unhone kaha, “Itna bada crowd, chahe wo hamaare khilaaf hi ho, ek zabardast experience hota hai. Jab hum aise high-energy environment mein khelte hain, toh mere players aur zyada motivated aur focused hote hain.”
Dilmperis ne apni team ko collective effort bataya aur kaha, “Main khud ko sirf coach nahi, balki apne players ka father figure samajhta hoon. Main kabhi bhi kisi player ko doosron se zyada important nahi samajhta.”
“Hum ek united team hain, chhote se leke experienced players tak, goalkeepers se leke forwards tak. Hamara aim har player ko apni maximum potential tak utilize karna hai,” unhone kaha.
Donon teams apni pichli setbacks se bounce back karna chahti hain aur yeh match ek zabardast clash ban sakta hai, jahan Punjab FC apni achhi form ko continue karne ki koshish karega aur East Bengal apne home advantage ka faida uthana chahega.
