USFC TAKES ON MUMBAI FC AT PALJOR STADIUM TODAY

Team cannot afford any more mistakes, says USFC Coach
GANGTOK, 08 Jan: After losing to Pune FC on 05 January, United Sikkim Football Club will now take on Mumbai FC in the next home match of the I-League scheduled for Wednesday at Paljor Stadium.
The home club is currently in the last position with just 9 points from 13 matches, while Mumbai FC is in the fifth position with 19 points from 12 matches.
Addressing a press conference here at Paljor Stadium, USFC coach, Nathan Hall, stated that the present situation is not good for the club and the only way out is hard work.
“The team has been working hard and even playing good football dominating the game but the result is not going in our favor so it is high time the team won points from each of its matches”, said the coach.
Mr Hall said that the team cannot afford to drop any points and especially in its home matches. “A silly mistake would cost heavy for the team so it has been made clear to the players that such mistakes could see them out of the team”, he added.
The coach informed that Michael Rodriguez would not be available for tomorrow’s match due to his injuries while the rest of the players are fit to play tomorrow’s match. He pointed out that to strengthen its forward line, the USFC has brought a new American footballer, John but are still waiting for his clearance, so there was a fifty-fifty chance for this new player to play tomorrow’s match.
Mentioning that the team is hopeful to win tomorrow’s match, the USFC coach said that Mumbai FC is a good team so the home club needs to give its best to win the match.
USFC defender Abhishek Das said that the team will not take any risk to lose any point in its remaining matches. “Despite being the dominating side in most of the matches, we are not getting the desired results. However, we are confident that we will win tomorrow’s match and score points in the remaining matches in the I-League as well”, said Abhishek.
