Speaking at the official pre-match press conference, RGPFC head coach Curtis Fleming said, “We scored three goals against Mohammedan. We were very, very attacking. In the end, we had six attacking players on the pitch trying to win the match. We were frustrated, to be honest, as we only had four matches left. We were thinking about where we would have been with the three points. But we're taking it positively that we didn’t lose the game."
When asked about Bidyashagar Singh, the leading goal-scorer of the competition for TRAU with 11 goals off 12 matches, Fleming said, “He has done very well to score two back-to-back hattricks. A team cannot score goals without everything coming together. Strikers do get the plaudits, but it is the entire team that makes or creates chances for them."
Young player Ashish Jha, who scored his first goal in professional football against Mohammedan Sporting in RGPFC's last game, was also present at the press conference. Ashish said, “I am proud of my performance in the last match. I have been waiting for my chance. I got a few chances earlier and I missed a few opportunities. I have worked hard on training and I am happy with my goal in the last match.”
A win against TRAU will keep title hopes alive for RoundGlass Punjab FC. The match will be shown live on the official Facebook page of 1Sports at 4 pm on Monday.
