Happy with the team's performance says, Dynamos coach Miguel; high praises for Chhangte

DELHI DYNAMOS COACH Miguel Portugal was a happy man as his team played according to his philosophy and emerged victorious (3-2) in their opening match against FC Pune City on Wednesday.

At the post match press-conference, he said,

"My team played well. First time the players played with our philosophy. We made many opportunities for goals and it was possible to score more goals in 90 minutes."

The first half ended in a goalless draw but in just 20 minutes into the second half, Delhi took a massive lead of 3 goals. Talking about what changed and worked in their favour, coach said,

"Pune is a big team and a good side. They tried to play well. I think my players pressed the Pune players well in the second half. They made it difficult to pass from midfield to the strikers."

He also had high praises for the 20-year-old Chhangte who had an assist and a goal to his name in the match.

"He played well to score the goal. I like the football he plays. He not only plays football for enjoyment; he plays football for rotation of the ball, passes the ball to the wing and overlaps across the goal. The young players are fresh in my team. I think they are good players."

He also thinks that this season will only get better from here on,

"This league is a lot of fun. It’s not only about winning, it’s a lot of fun for the crowd and for the players. I think from the goalkeeping coach’s point of view it is not good but we also like to enjoy the show. We always prefer not to concede goals but in the end, if we win, that’s the most important."
