Mohammedan Sporting Club is looking to bounce back in winning track against TRAU FC in Hero I-League encounter at Kalyani Stadium on Tuesday. 

Mohammedan started the campaign with a win against Sudeva FC and drew the next match against Churchill Brothers. They are currently in the third place on the table with 4 points from two matches. Before step in against TRAU on Friday, Mohammedan Coach Jose Havia explained that his team steps in to win every match.

He said, “We just want to keep adding to our performances. We have said after game one that we want to get better, and after game two we want to get better for game three.”

Hevia will have to strategies and break the flow of TRAU’s possession-based style, as they have averaged almost 55% possession in their games so far. The defensive resilience of the likes of Eze Kingsley, Asheer Akhtar and Hira Mondal will have to be on display to deny TRAU’s forward men that comprises Komron Tursunov and Bidyashagar Singh among others with Joseph Olaleye pulling the strings from midfield.

Spanish Coach said, “It worries any team if you don’t score. We have to work on it as much as we can,” Hevia said. “We have been doing well, but we have to convert our chances. We are missing a lot of chances and if we were to convert our chances we would be talking a different story now. But we are not looking down as a team. We are positive and we are not giving up.”

The gaffer made it clear that they are going to approach the game with a more patient lookout as they will prefer to read their opponents before hurling the attacks on TRAU. Hevia holds the Manipur-outfit in high esteem but he is confident his side will be able to deal with any challenge thrown at them.

“TRAU is full of energy. They have a lot of good players. You have to give them respect. It’s not going to be easy against them but every game we play to win. We have prepared well for the occasion.” Hevia explained.

For the record, when these two teams faced each other last time Mohammedan SC thrashed TRAU 6-0 in an 2nd Division League encounter in March 2018.
