FC Goa Manager on Injury news ahead of the game

“In the last game, we had lots of (injury) problems, but it is normal. The players are very tired. This season was very difficult. In such a case, we make tough decisions and sometimes we get success, sometimes we don’t. It is necessary to take risks,” Ferrando said.

FC Goa Coach on Ivan Gonzalez and Alberto Noguera being back after their suspension…

“It is important to select the best possible line-up for an important game. It is difficult because we decide on one style of play and then when one player is out with injury, it becomes necessary to prepare a new plan,” the FCG coach added.

Speaking about the unpredictable nature of a shoot-out, Ferrando said:

“Of course, we have prepared for penalties because it is necessary, but I hope we don’t need penalties in the end. Because penalties are about luck too.”

Mumbai City Coach on former FC Goa Player, Mourtada Fall:

"Speaking about Fall, if someone says that he had a bad intention during the tackle then they don’t know him. I don’t like people trying to provoke my players. If you want to compare, then I can say that Edu Bedia (Goa captain) bit Deepak Tangri (in the Chennaiyin FC game), and he’s still playing.

“At the end of the last game, some people were speaking to the match commissioner. I don’t like people crying all the time. On the pitch, we need to respect all the people and try to help the referees and other officials,” the Mumbai boss claimed.

FT: MCFC 0-0 FCG

No goals in regulation time which means the tie remains level at 2-2. Thirty minutes of extra time and potentially a penalty shootout to decide the winner.
