For us, it's a motivational boost that pushes us to give something extra for those fans whether we are playing against FC Goa or any other team.
It gives you a feeling of love that makes you want to be there. I like that feeling as it gives me goosebumps. The moment we leave the hotel and we see the sea of yellow on the street knowing that there will be huge support makes me thrilled and enthusiastic. How much comfort level does the fans' presence give you? Small details like set pieces and other things will make the difference. So, this will not just be a technical and tactical battle it will also be an emotional battle. I think the team that keeps emotions under control and displays intelligence about managing the game will win this game. The game on Sunday will be more of a character game where both teams will have to control their emotions in certain moments of the game. We are the team that wants to attack, that wants to press high. Vukomanovic: Our games are always interesting because they can go both ways. How do you predict the match against FC Goa? You had predicted an ugly match against Odisha FC. Even last year we played two interesting games against them, so I am expecting a very hard game for both teams. So it will be an interesting game to watch and an interesting game to play. In FC Goa, we are facing one of the best teams in the league, a team that likes to play football and likes to be tough in duels. That was the case and I am really happy about the players who started from the beginning but also about players who came on from the bench and they made a difference. We knew that in that game we had to concentrate and be focused in order to collect three points. Even last season when we played against NorthEast United FC, it was very difficult because these games may feel easy but it's a trap and if you are not ready enough, you are casual and then you fall into the trap and you lose those games.
We were playing against a team which is the bottom of the table. Vukomanovic: We must be honest speaking about the last match. You won the last match but it wasn't against an opponent that was as strong as FC Goa. Here are the excerpts from the pre-match press conference: Vukomanovic and Sahal Abdul Samad addressed the media ahead of the FC Goa clash. However, they have a poor record against the Gaurs who haven’t tasted defeat against the Blasters since 2016 and considering the form of the two teams will go into the match in a confident mood. The Blasters have lost the last two matches on home soil and are looking to improve their record at home that doesn’t make a good reading.
Kerala Blasters FC head coach Ivan Vukomanovic wants his players to keep their emotions in check as they take on FC Goa in a Hero Indian Super League (ISL) match at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in Kochi on Sunday.
