Head Coach Richard Hood is happy with the way the Durand Cup has turned out for the boys so far.The Durand Cup has provided FC Bengaluru United with much-needed exposure, giving them the chance to compete against teams who step onto the pitch to win. Competing against some of the stronger teams has helped the team improve their performance throughout the tournament.
While addressing a virtual press conference, Coach Richard Hood said:
Luka Majcen and Pedro Manzi ’s influence on the team:
FC Bengaluru United have signed two foreign players, Luka Majcen and Pedro Manzi for the 2021/22 season. Luka comes in with a very big physical profile and a very strong scoring record whereas Pedro is a very intelligent player with a lot of technical qualities. Both footballers have very different styles and personalities.
Head coach Richard hailed both players and termed them leaders with different styles and called them “through and through winners.” Coach stated that both the players expect the entire team to play a good brand of football.
Coach Richard Hood feels complacency should not hit FC Bengaluru United during the Durand Cup knockouts:
Playing against teams like Mohammedan and pulling up a game like that, it was important for FC Bengaluru United to prove a point against an old club like Mohammedan. That match has given the team the confidence to compete against I-League teams and play up to that level.
