Kerala Blasters meets Mumbai FC
KOCHI: Kerala Blasters FC will start its first match against Mumbai City FC at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi. The Kerala Blasters team led by Elko Scuttori started winning the match against the ADK team with the support of their own fans. With the support of its own fans, Mumbai City are hoping to win. Generally, the Kerala team will do well if they play well on their own soil. In 2014 and 2016, when they reached the playoffs, they set a strong record on their own soil.
If you are playing on your own soil, you have little benefit, ”says coach Elko Scutori. The Mumbai City team is an amazing team. They haven't played so far this season. But George Costa has already given the Kerala Blasters a chance to study. Elko Scuttori says this is an advantage for the players of the Kerala team. I am clearly aware of the style of Mumbai City team playing. But coach George Costa says he is very much looking forward to the match.
Commenting on this, Mumbai coach George Costa said, "We are very familiar with Kerala Blasters. This is the first game of the season. At the same time, this is not an easy game. I had seen the Kerala team play before. He mentioned that I know the team players and the coach very well. When Mumbai City played in the play-off round last season, the game revolved around Palo Machado and Moto Saugo. They said it was the Mumbai team that decided the game.
Defenders duo Gianni Juverloon and Jairo Rodriguez will show off their talents to the Kerala team. Kerala has a problem with fitness, with influential midfielder Mario Orks injured in the last game. He will miss the competition this season. But star striker Bartholomew Ogbachev, who scored 2 goals on Sunday, is now responsible.
