FATORDA: FC Goa coach Sergio Lobera is ‘obsessed’ with goal difference. Speaking during the pre-match conference the Spaniard said, “Maintaining a clean sheet is not what I’m obsessed with. What I’m obsessed with is the goal difference that we have. After the first two games we were on the top of the table because we scored more goals and our goal difference was better than most of the teams. I would prefer to win 5-2 rather than win the game 1-0,” he said.
“The calendar is the way it is, that’s how it came so we can’t make excuses about it. There are a few teams that have played matches in a short span of time and that is what is going to happen to us as well. So, for us, we have to play to the best of our abilities and if we are looking for excuses at this point in time what we will be doing is wasting our time,” he added. “I think one of the most important things that help build a strong team is the adaptability of the players.” Sergio stressed.
“It is very difficult to compare teams with regards to the game that happened last year and the team they have this year are two different teams and there is no similarity.” He concluded.
