ISL | Resurgent KBFC looks to continue good run when it hosts NEUFC
The Hindu
Resurgent Kerala Blasters, led by makeshift coaches, aim to continue winning streak against NorthEast United FC in ISL.
The makeshift coaching team of T.G. Purushothaman and Tomasz Tchorz have managed to resurrect Kerala Blasters’ fortunes in the ongoing Indian Super League season.
The resurgent KBFC, which has won three out of its last four games, will be keen to continue the good run when it hosts NorthEast United FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Saturday.
However, the last-gasp win against Odisha FC exposed the inherent weakness of the squad. The defence is still shaky and goalkeeping errors are mounting.
Blasters, despite dominating possession against Odisha, lacked the killer punch upfront till a three-goal blitz swung the match in their favour.
Noah Sadaoui’s goals have been pivotal for the Kochi outfit’s success in the last few matches but the striker was also guilty of some glaring misses. Captain Adrian Luna came up with a lion-hearted performance in the midfield and will again hold the aces against NEUFC.
The visitor, which is currently unbeaten in its last five matches, will be more threatening than the passive Odisha side which blundered by trying to preserve its early lead.
Coach Juan Pedro Benali predicted a tough match against KBFC which has momentum in its favour. In-form striker Alaaeddine Ajaraie will be more than a handful for the Blasters defence.
