ISL 2017: Satisfied with what we are trying to do, says Pune City coach Popovic

FC PUNE CITY won by a goal against Jamshedpur FC, courtesy of Adil Khan's volley which was converted via a free-kick taken from Marcelinho.

Coach Ranko Popovic admitted that it was a hard-fought win. At the post match press conference, he said,

"It was a tough game; they had not conceded a goal before this game. Last game, we lost because of set pieces. This game we won because of set pieces. I’m satisfied with what we are trying; we tried to put the ball down with some 3-4 passes and we were defending well. Jamshedpur were playing well; they were attacking. The atmosphere was good, they pushed us to the very end, last few minutes our keeper saved really well."

Pune have moved up of the points table, coach expressed his joy about the same.

"We want to be on top of the table. We sometimes put pressure because we want to stay on top. We will try to make ourselves more compact. We want to play good football, because the people deserve it."

He also added that he hopes one day Pune will also see thousands of fans filling the stadium.

"The atmosphere was very good and very positive. I hope one day something like this can be seen in Pune with 10,000 supporters or maybe more backing us."
