Zambrotta: We need to learn from our mistakes and do better in the next game

DELHI DYNAMOS LOST THEIR LAST GAME against ATK where they were against a 10-man team following a red card to Sereno and also having misses a penalty. Delhi could have easily won the last game but it is all about taking the chances which ATK showed how is is to be done when Hume score the penalty and the only goal of the game.

On the topic of missing chances, Zambrotta was asked if he thought this could mean things are not going Delhi's way replied,

“I think that the equation is somewhat same because in the last game we had quite a lot of opportunities to score. Unfortunately, we did not kill the match but again when we have a lot of opportunities to score then it’s not a problem for me. Just of course we have to follow the same philosophy and try to learn from our mistake and get better in the next game.”

Not just the offence, Delhi haven't been doing well in the defending department as well. On that issue, Zambrotta said,

"We are improving and are getting better. In defence we have done a good job. But in offence we need to do better because we have very good players and they are not doing their best. If you have to look at the total balance from pre-season till now, then we are very happy about the team but of course we are hoping for much better.”

Zambrotta was hopeful that Delhi are still in contention for the semi finals with the games remaining. He added,

“We still have to play two matches against Goa and Pune to have a total understanding of all our opponents. It is true that if you analyse the situation and the other teams, then it is a very balanced championship and if you win or lose in one match everything can change. What is the target for us? Of course, the minimum target is to be in the first four places to qualify for the semis.”

Commenting on the loss against ATK, Zambrotta said they take the positives out of that game and look forward to the next game. The Delhi Coach stated,

“We have done a good match against Kolkata and had prepared for the match in a good way. Unfortunately, in the match we had made some mistake but its football and its sometimes cruel and it’s like this. Especially if it happened a few days ago but if you are positive and are thinking positive this will be very important as a new opportunity to get better.”
