Ivan Vukomanovic 🎙: I don't think so because in this league we we so that anybody can beat anybody this is why this league is so interesting. Actually I think that our tomorrow's opponent is very strong
team, every team actually in this league gets kind of bad momentum during one season. So it doesn't mean nothing I think we've seen also before our three victories we had the period of three defeats in a row so you know in this league anything's possible, We know that both teams
tomorrow will be well motivated to fight for the points it's our opponent from last season where we actually struggled against them in competition in the preseason and also in the semi finals. So I expect nothing but the same thing tomorrow and may the better team win.
Q, About Injury Concerns
Ivan Vukomanovic 🎙: Everybody is available, we have good situation so far. We arrived here with let's say with our strongest group .
Q, Experience in Jamshedpur
IV 🎙: We arrived late last night here, We'll have our training session later after the press conference. So today we will not be there we're still supposed to go back to the hotel and then go for the training session. Everything's perfect
yest it was okay kind of quite interesting because we had to change two flights to arrive later on but that's a part of the job so nothing's nothing's wrong there. So I as a professional sportsman, also from my previous period in Europe So I as a professional sportsman, also from
my previous period in Europe every time when you play these games you have to fly it's part of the job so nothing's wrong.
Nishu Kumar 🎙: We're having a good season so far, we went to Dubai for our preseason preparation and we played some competitive games there. So till now it's good, last we won three games so we have good confidence and Jamshedpur is a good team and they're the league
Winners, it'll be a competitive game and we are ready to face it.
Nishu Kumar 🎙: Now I can't say that I'm a young player, but I was one as well. Now in most clubs they keep good care about young players, so it's good for our future. Everyone supports here management, coaching staff, and our foreign players we get to learn alot from them
Like we have Luna, Marco (Leskovic). Since I'm a defender I get to learn alot from Marco, and Victor is there. So it's a good experience for us grow and learn.
Ivan Vukomanovic 🎙: What we were talking about this World Cup even before it started, I think that this is the first time in the history of football that the World Cup is held in this part of the year. It is also kind of experiment from the side of FIFA to see how it will evolve
, maybe for the future. I was saying before the World Cup that many players will not be in the top shape, because it's part of the season where many of top players playing in European clubs, they're exhausted after a Champions League campaign. And they arrived in Qatar only for
One week to prepare for the World Cup, changing environment changing weather conditions, climate, all the other possible aspects. And then it affects your body, your metabolism and muscle structure that on a longer term, the longer they stay in Qatar, the longer you know
You change, you need a period to to adapt. And that's why we see many of them not performing on the top level. That's why we see some of the top national teams going out. I was saying that before the World Cup. And actually we see some other teams where nobody expected to qualify
now because they are a little bit more motivated, they're a little bit more eager to show the intent and mentality to go through. And that's why we're seeing maybe this kind of result. So maybe some favourites going out. Already home, but that's part of football.
Now why you know why we're saying that there will be some surprises in in a way like Japan or Korea or one African country, something like that. That was my I was saying that in one interview a long time ago. I was saying that some big teams were going out, actually by two
candidates that I was cheering like Belgium or Germany, they are out you and I'm originally from Serbia last night they're out. So you know, but there are big teams who will now take more seriously like Brazil even the last last game, Spain, France, they will comes from now in
knockout phase, but we cannot say that some of let's say smaller countries will go through because every World Cup it happens. So now in this part of the year, like I said, many of them are exhausted. You know before when you get the World Cup in June or July, you get these five
six weeks to prepare. Now it's only one week it's strange because players they're coming from clubs written for World Cup immediately change everything and then you have to play it's it's kind of it's not evidence it's not not easy, but okay, that's football that's why we like,
football so let's hope that you will see good games now knockout phase and like I always like to say let the better team wins. And now especially I think that the teams who have the more experience about playing knockout phase, even if sometimes it's not nice football, but the
teams with the experience how to play tournaments like Croatia, Poland, England, all these countries, they have that experience how to go through the knockout phase, how to face certain opponents and manage the games. So that's that's quality and experience
Ivan Vukomanovic 🎙: last year in a bubble it was awful to play in that kind of environment. Now with fans, of course it's always your 12th Man. It's something that gives you extra motivation for any club playing home or away. It's something special. And actually the players from
the moment where you know from the moment you start shooting the ball around your house you dream about playing in packed stadium, you dream about playing in front of fans so later as a football player whether you play home or away it's a pleasure and it's always pleasure and
I enjoy every moment playing home away of course, you enjoy playing because FOOTBALL WE PLAY FOR THE FANS "
Ivan Vukomanovic 🎙: we knew before the game and before we arrived here, we knew that it will be very tough game for us. Yesterday, we were mentioning as well that when you play against the team who is coming after four defeats in a
row, it doesn't mean a lot. Or maybe their confidence is a little bit boosted in a negative way. But, you know, you can easily fall down in a trap. Because these teams when they're coming in this kind of situation, they're the most dangerous. And if we in this situation of the
of the three victories in a row, we're thinking that it will be easier game than then it's wrong. And we were hammering on these things in the past couple of days saying that we cannot and we must not think that we are the best, we are better whatsoever.
