It will go down to the finer details of who will take the chances in front of the goal vs BFC, says Goa coach Lobera

FC GOA will take on Bengaluru FC at home tonight. They had a good start to the season with a win but fell short against Mumbai City. They will look to get back to winning ways while they play at home. But coach Sergio Lobera is cautious about the same as he calls his opponents, Bengaluru FC as a firm team in the league.

"They are a strong team, in the two games that they have played, they have showed that they are the team with the best form. They have showed that they are the strongest team so far," he said at the pre-match press conference.

Further talking about BFC's coach Albert Roca, he said,

"Albert Roca is a fine coach, and I know him since our time in Barcelona. Knowing how his team is going to play, and knowing how our team is going to play, it’s going to be an open match where both teams are going to look for chances. And I think it is all going to come down to the finer details of who will take their chances in front of goal, and that will decide the game."

Once again defending his goalkeeper Laximant Kattimani, he said,

"For me, Kattimani is a fantastic goalkeeper, come to us at the end of the league, and I am sure that if we do a balance of how many points we might have lost or how many we might have gained because of him, you will see that we come out in favour of how many he has gained for us. I believe in him completely and utterly."

"It is very easy to criticise goalkeepers, because they are always in the spotlight. But my faith in him continues to stay as it was on day one, and will continue to stay that way till the end of the season. When the season is coming towards the end, the result that all of us will see is that Kattimani is a great goalkeeper."

Brandon Fernandes too was present at the press conference. He expressed his pleasure to be playing under Lobera.

"I am very lucky to be a part of FC Goa and playing under Sergio Lobera. He has a different philosophy, different tactics, different plans and different ideas. So, this is new for me, and I am very happy to be training under him."
