CARLES CUADRAT IN PRE-MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE
REGARDING REFEREE
"We lost 5 important points for the wrong decisions of the Referees in the matches against Odisha FC, Mohun Bagan SG and in the last match against Jamshedpur FC. This has effected in our position in the ISL league table. The coaches and the footballers lost their jobs owing to their bad performance. Four coaches in the current ISL lost their jobs. But the Referees are not penalised for their wrong decisions. We said, they are humans they may do mistakes. India is improving in football but not in Refereeing. Rahul Gupta and Crystal John were in my nightmare."
REGARDING CHENNAIYIN FC MATCH
“When you don't increase your lead, anything can happen. Ee had many clear chances to score the second goal. But the players are giving everything to the team, so I am happy.”
"There are still seven games to play. We have played fewer games than other teams so it makes it look like we have a lot to do.”

Yes, there are a lot of similarities, a lot of parallels between Chennaiyin and East Bengal. We saw in the first half of our last match that our boys were outstanding against a team that is very close to winning the shield. We played well in the first half and our next opponent has done that regularly in a lot of matches as well. Our team has to be more consistent and that would be the key to our success."
"We will look to put the best team we can on the field and try to win the upcoming match. It's a game that we're more than capable of winning."
"We are ready to go into the match tomorrow. It would be a totally different game. We will go there, play positive and try to win the game.

CARLES QUADRAT IN PRE MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE
“We have to improve in some competitive factors to get us more points. So, we are conscious, to have conceded two goals in the last three games makes it difficult to get points. Lalchungnunga and Mahesh Singh Naorem were with the national team, but we have been working hard with the rest of the players in this aspect.”
“I think that we all have to try to be positive to understand that it's the start of a new project and that sometimes you have to get the automatics happening in the team. The combination of players really supports each other, helps each other and knows how to manage the full game. So, I'm very happy with the work that we have been doing these last two weeks, and let's hope that we can express that also on the pitch in the next game.”

OWEN COYLE IN PRE MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE
“We have worked really hard in the last two weeks and we are looking forward to another home game. We were disappointed with the result against FC Goa, but there were things that were certainly self-inflicted. We allowed some easy goals; there were some deflections that happened. We made chances but the last couple of weeks have given us chances to work on different things, so we are looking forward to a tough game, fresh and ready to go."
"I think in the ISL, it is always going to be very difficult to play against East Bengal. It's never easy to score goals and that's the hardest part of football. I hold Carles in high regard as his football ability is fantastic and I am looking forward to seeing him but he knows as I do for the duration of the game, we'll be doing everything in our power to win the game. He's an outstanding man and I know how hard he works, so we know it's going to be a difficult game."

COACHES COMMENT BEFORE THE MATCH: “
CARLES CUADRAT: “We were trying to go in front and trying to be compact in the defence, but it is true that in the second half, we started to lose the ball very easily. We were trying to cover half of the pitch with Nishu (Kumar) and Borja (Herrera) in the middle of the pitch trying to help Saul (Crespo), but just the set-piece changed everything and then we switched off for a few minutes and it is incredible that they scored the goals within one minute. I think that we are in the middle of a new project with a lot of new players. I think that we need to find the maturity to manage the game better. I think that this was a very tough lesson for us."
We have to understand that this is a new team with a new coach and new tactics. I accept that we need to be more active and be confident. My message to the fans is to be patient because in this game and the last few games, I saw some good moments from the team and I was happy with those moments. There is a lot to learn from these last few games."

IVAN VUKOMANOVIC: "I think that this year East Bengal has more quality, based on individual players. They are a dangerous team with very good organisation so we have to be more aware of that." It does not mean anything, there are clubs who started the league not on a great level yet later they catch up and they went up the table."
"We are always glad to have these kinds of players with experience who can bring something to our team. So, let us hope that on Saturday it will be the case." When you approach a game, you not only prepare your team physically but also mentally. Many times some players will make wrong decisions or mistakes which will lead to us conceding goals. We know how we have to deal with those moments. We have a very young team with many young players. We want them to grow up and this is the way they learn."

EAST BENGAL TO FACE FC GOA IN THEIR FORTH MATCH
COACHES IMPRESSION BEFORE THE MATCH
CARLES CUADRAT
"We played well against Bengaluru FC in the previous match and proved that we were the better side on the pitch. I am not giving any excuses, but the fact is that we have to learn from the defeat of the previous match."
"We not only have to prove ourselves in the field in every match but it is necessary to earn points. It is not enough to create more number of positive chances and concede less chances. The most important is to turn the match in our favour and earn points."
"If you see the table posted by ISL where the teams are ranked on the basis of expected goals difference, it shows that we are in the 4th position. I really think it should have been our position at the moment. We should have got at least 6 to 7 points from the first three matches."

MANALO MARQUEZ
"This is a significant match for us. People ask me about why FC Goa are different when playing at home and playing away. I think we have to be consistently good everywhere. 15-20 years ago maybe, it was clear when you play at home or when you play away - the difference was too much. It has changed now, and teams play in the same style everywhere."
"Of course, we love to play in front of our fans, but even in an away game, I wouldn’t want to make too many changes (to how the team plays). I’m very optimistic about this, and just like I’ve been saying from day one, I think that this will be a good season for us."
“East Bengal FC have several quality players, including two of my former players Javi Siverio and Borja Herrera who were with me both in Spain and at Hyderabad FC. They have an experienced side and this will be a tough game. But then, I believe that all games are tough, and whoever performs the best on the day takes home the three points. We will try to do this on Saturday.”
NAOREM MAHESH IN PRE MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE
"It's obviously a privilege to be here. East Bengal is providing me with opportunities and that's why I'm part of the national team as well. I believe I'll make significant improvements under the guidance of the coach and the entire management, including the coaching staff. They provide a lot of valuable details, and I'm confident I'll improve a lot from here. There's no pressure, only pleasure. It's a pleasure to be here, not pressure."
REGARDING FC GOA: "They play really well, even in the Durand Cup. Everyone knows they excel in both attacking and defensive aspects of the game. They have some experienced players, such as Odei (Onaindia) and Sandesh Paaji (Jhingan). Regarding the team, they are truly impressive."

COACHES COMMENT BEFORE THE MATCH
Bengaluru FC head coach Simon Grayson : “We do bounce off the crowd, which is really good for us. Hopefully we can entertain them and it can be a cracking atmosphere. We all have to remember the second half of the last season, with the wins that we had, there were some special nights. We have had many special nights in the last few seasons and hopefully we can have many more of them at Kantereeva. Ultimately, we want to start winning matches because we have lost the first two."
East Bengal FC Head Coach Carlos Cuadrat : “Last season, Bengaluru were fighting for trophies. They won the Durand Cup. They were in the final of the Super Cup and the ISL, which means that they are a very competitive team. They have also been working in bringing new players here to make an even better project. So, we have to be ready for a very competitive match because they need points, very clearly, after two games, they are going to give everything. They also have Kanteerava supporting them, that I know very well.
