AFC Champions League 2021 | FC Goa needs to grow in some details and tactics, asserts Juan Ferrando

The Gaurs started their campaign against Qatar Stars League side Al-Rayyan at the Fatorda Stadium, last Wednesday evening. Even though the visitors were far superior as a team, the Juan Ferrando-coached side played with an equal footing and managed to squeeze out a 0-0 draw in the end. In spite of the positive result, the Spanish manager feels that his team needs to grow even further in some details and tactics.

"We are happy because we played against a very good team. Everyone knows about the quality of their players. Playing against Laurent Blanc (Al Rayyan manager) who won the World Cup in 1998. It was very difficult but we are happy with this point,” said Juan Ferrando, after the match.

FC Goa is slated to lock horns with UAE’s Al-Wahada in a couple of days, which can easily be their best chance to claim three points, while their match on April 20 against Persepolis FC is going to be tough. However, the draw against Al-Rayyan last night has boosted their confidence ahead of the remaining games.
