ISL 2017: Will learn from the mistakes & look forward and get back strong, says BFC coach Roca

BENGALURU FC suffered defeat at home against Chennaiyin FC on Sunday. Coach Albert Roca, talking about why he made changes to the starting eleven, he said,

"We played only three days ago, an important game in Pune so I had to manage the squad and try to put the players in better shape. Sometimes I can make things right sometimes not so good, but we have to keep fighting and do what’s better for the next game. This game helps me know what is better, to keep the same team or to make some changes."

Talking about conceding the late goal, he said,

"We made a mistake in the beginning and one mistake in the final (minute). We did have good chances in the first half such as Edu’s shot and in the beginning of the second half as well, we had a good opportunity to come back and put them in trouble. Without Juanan, we had to be more careful in set-pieces."

Speaking about Chennaiyin FC, he said,

"They do have very tough players. With the first goals, things got easier for them. I didn’t expect to concede a goal that early. Even though we tried to manage the situation they were good on that and it cost too much for us to get back. But when we did, we forgot again that they are strong in set pieces and got punished. But it’s something to learn for me in the end and we have to look forward, be strong, know our errors and also thank our supporters for being there through thick and thin."
