Post - Match press conference Thread #KBFC.

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.

So we need to approach this kind of game with seriousness, we need to approach this kind of game with with the full power concentration because we we know from last season that this team of Jamshedpur It's not easy to handle, it's not easy to manage these games against this team.

I think that this year as well, there is more power power, especially up front. And then you have to deal with those these long balls long throwings physical game, physical duel, so all those things are very dangerous to manage against this team of Jamshedpur then we knew that

there is a chance to make something on set pieces like we scored. Today, we wanted as well to have a little bit different approach in our playing style, which was keeping the ball on the ground, passing the ball around, having that possession trying to create these chances. And

And I was glad as a coach to see those things happening. But you know, at the end, we have to be very happy with the three points. What we achieved today, it was not easy again. And I'm very proud of the boys. Very happy for the fans, because we are continuing in a winning row.

Ivan Vukomanovic 🎙 : ( penalty shout) So far, I did not see videos. And from that side where we are sitting, we don't see the lines. And it was quite difficult to see it. We saw that there was closer to the but we did we couldn't see from the bench. So I cannot say 100% If it

was inside or outside because from the bench where we're sitting behind these, and even in front, you don't see the lines of the box on that side. So it was quite difficult for me to say.

Ivan Vukomanovic 🎙: ( feelin pressure from jfc set-pieces)

Absolutely. Because the set pieces are one of them powerful, most powerful thing of this team of Jamshedpur, wherever you are under pressure on those long throwings or corner kicks, you are under pressure, there is a

slight chance that you can concede goals and they had couple of headers . And we were lucky and happy that we didn't concede. They're very powerful team. That's, obvious. And if you allow them to come to your box, put you under pressure in that, in that playing style, then you're

Done. You have no chance against this team. So we want it today to move them and push them far away of our goal to keep that possession try to organise the things like we wanted to play. And at the end, of course with three points we are happy

Ivan Vukomanovic 🎙: ( change in tactics)

It was our tactic for today. In the last couple of games, we were playing a little bit more defensive defending block, not allowing our opponents to come between our lines today. We wanted to change that we had these two weeks break now,

since our last game in Hyderabad, where we played more defensively today. We wanted to have this approach to have more ball in our possession to move around. Try to create chances from open spaces.This is what we were working in the last last week, last five, six days.

So that's the style that we wanted to explore today. With us. It always changes depending around opponent you cannot play the same way when you play against Jamshedpur against go Goa FC or something like that. So for us today, that was the case.

Ivan 🎙: (about the goals for season)

Well, I think that whenever I say campaign starts, every team announces, and every team wants to be among the top and seeing our last season achievement, the finals. Of course, we are now working in one consistency , and we want our team to

compete and be in top six in playoffs, of course. And then the playoffs we saw even last year, when nobody expected us to be in finals, you can reach nice things. So for us this year, we went again, under some changings, some new in our team. And then we as a club as a team,

we have one structure that we want just this piece of puzzles to fit into one big picture. You have youngsters coming into our team, even last year, I think that we were one of the youngest team in the league. So I thinkthis year, we need to continue with our consistency with

with our work, how we want to achieve certain things and the boys that have a great character I think that we can achieve and being let's say again, in playoffs and later on we'll see we hope for that because it's not easy. Again, like yesterday, we mentioned here anybody can

beat anybody in this league, it doesn't matter now the jumpship are now you are in a negative role that they are bad team not at all they're good team and it can just turn in, in an one time like with us we had three defeats in a row. Now we have four victories and so you know

it can it can happen for anybody in this very tough League, you must be consistent, you must be hard and ready for for all again. So actually, I think we can be in playoffs, it's not something that of course the objective for our club for our fans, we deserve that.

And I think that we have certain qualities that we can hope for.

Ivan Vukomanovic 🎙: ( about consistency of coaches)

as a coach, I must say that the most important thing if you have this consistently with the same coach and same coaching staff, because if

you constantly change your group, your team, your fans, so everybody cannot get the time to use to it, you know, the players cannot use to you. So they will they will never get the time to use to your playing style coaching approach, whatever it is.

And then if you constantly keep changing, then it means that every time whatever you do, you reset and go back to zero. And then you again start building up at the moment you change your go back to zero, you must have consistency then every year, they are changing players, they

go they come so it's an inevitable thing in the world football all around, you have sometimes offers where the players say, I have better offer I you know I get more money and we as a club, we will never stop our players if they have that kind of change. We lost from last season

If you speak about some players playing still in ISL on a good level, but we accept that as a fact that they go for better conditions they go for a better idea. So and then again, we have to rebuild. And for us working now consistently. Sorry, consistency.

He gives us His technical stuff, kind of sick. Confidence. And now we are used to the boys boys. They're used to us we are used to our environment. We are used to our city we're used to our fans, they're used to us and then when you have this kind of complete interaction, their

their results their results can be booked. So this is how it goes in football so yeah, of course no problem.

Ivan Vukomanovic 🎙: Absolutely. You know why? Because first of all, they know how to play this tournament then we just mentioned consistency with one coach this coach on the bench Dutch team, please well it's been now his his Third World Cup, the players they're used to him

his approach his style and everything he's used to the players and they know that style and when you connect when you have this kind of interaction, then the results are there and they know how to play these tournaments even maybe in the next games even if it's not like I said

yesterday maybe it's not nice football but they know how to go through and these teams they go to finals maybe last season we as Kerala Blasters during our season or in semi finals against Jamshedpur Maybe our games were not pretty but you must manage the game and you must know

how you can win the games and get the points and go through so that it can happen in the world seeing Poland going to the finals or whatever who knows hope that you will see nice football No more no problem no problem.

Ivan Vukomanovic 🎙: ( introducing relegation) If you know that you cannot relegated that so especially in the second part of the season last year, we saw that there were a couple of teams, they knew that they cannot compete anymore for playoffs. .

And they just started playing casually relax thinking about okay, let's go for vacation, let's finish go home. So then it means if you have relegation that you have to fight till the last moment, you have to fight for your life.

Okay, but there are also some leagues worldwide like United States, so we can mention some other countries, there is no relegation neither. So but if you have good club structure, if you have good consistency, and you have good communication between your management, ownership

and coaching staff, then you're building up on process, you're building up on project, and then on a longer term, which means two years, three years, four years, you create one club, one unit that will always compete in top of the league

and always be in the three, four years in the playoffs. And then even later on, if you're not there anymore. There is a legacy like the club on a healthy structure, which gives you opportunity and hope that you can always be taught and you will be recognised as a top club.

So I think that now for this season and the next as well. I think there is no relegation, but maybe maybe if it changes a little bit, maybe the league has to be a little bit larger and maybe more teams. It is good this year that the league is longer, which gives technical staff

staff players and everybody to prepare better to organise the things better because when you want to short term, there are many things that are like you get injured, you're out for you the season is done. So on the longer term is better for everybody to work on consistency,

that the whole team in the club will be better. So I hope that it will be the case in next next period here and I say it because I like being here. It's very nice league, very tough, unpredictable. Anybody can beat anybody. We saw it. So let's go for the best guys. Thank you guys
