Albert Roca pre-match Thoughts and Training Images


"It's an important game and the players know it.."

India 4 November 2016: 

Quotes from Bengaluru FC Head Coach Albert Roca ahead of the AFC Cup final:

"It's an important game and the players know it but at the end of it all, it's just another game. As professionals, the players know that we have a tough team up against us in Air Force Club. The most important thing is to be as prepared as possible."

"It's not only about defending well, we need a good balance in the performance as transitions should be quick between the attacking and defending units."

"There's no pressure. All the games I've been in charge here have been important games and I can say that these players are up for the task and they're ready to go."

"Ralte is a very good goalkeeper. In his first season here, he had some fantastic individual performances that gave the club some important victories and points. He's always been pushing Amrinder (Singh) for a place in the starting XI and now he's finally got his chance and I know he'll be looking to make it count."

The Pre-Match preview will be shared post the Press Conference is scheduled for 6:30 PM Doha Time.
