Imphal: Showing confidence in the face of uncertainty over their possibilities of winning the I-League from here, NEROCA FC trainer Gift Raikhan used to be left ruing poor high quality of refereeing in the post-match press convention on Sunday.
Asked to comment at the approach they lost the tournament with poor protecting, Raikhan mentioned, “Our defence used to be now not up to the mark and Gouramangi used to be injured very early in the game. I had to exchange him and earlier than we settled down they scored. But you understand, I’m now not blaming the referee for the loss however the referee used to be poor in resolution making. It's not that i am any person who blames the referee, I enhance them not like many different coaches. But these days I'm blaming the referee. The tournament used to be now not played in a balanced approach. We played neatly, tournament used to be entertaining. Mohun Bagan played neatly, too, congratulations to them. We’re still on top and anything else can happen. We can lose the last tournament, win it, different teams can lose three matches, so still a large number of things are left.”
Raikhan also mentioned that the entire the quality of refereeing is not up to the mark in I-League. “You see in a large number of matches there’s no foul for handball. Offsides, bad challenges are overpassed, fouls are given for minor tackles. I don’t know when the standard of refereeing might be just right here. Sadly, if I blame the referee then I’m a nasty trainer,” smiled Raikhan.
Asked about the second and 3rd purpose they conceded, where there used to be some controversy involved, Raikhan defined, “I can’t say correctly whether or not it used to be offside or now not, because I couldn’t see the are living telecast. But from the way the referee and linesman behaved it seemed find it irresistible (3rd purpose) used to be offside. When a purpose is scored referee issues towards the centre however here the referee showed the goalmouth. The linesman also pointed his flag towards the purpose now not towards the half line. So there used to be some confusion no less than, which used to be visual in their action.”
However, his Mohun Bagan counterpart used to be happy as the end result helped him restore some status and consolidate their possibilities of completing in top four.
“Referees are human beings, they are able to make mistakes and this used to be a drive tournament. I'm pleased with the way my boys played these days. They showed great group spirit, just right angle to return back two times and that reflected in the way we scored the 3rd (purpose) in the first-half stoppage time,” mentioned Bagan trainer Sankarlal Chakraborty.
Asked in regards to the poor protecting on show, Chakraborty mentioned, “It’s true that there were some defensive lapses in the first half however we returned a better side in the second half and stopped them from getting the equalizer. Players make mistakes in the tournament however they wish to recuperate as a group, and we did that these days.”
The inexperienced and maroon trainer also defended his captain Kingshuk Debnath’s poor protecting, saying, “Kingshuk came back into the side after four matches (his last tournament used to be against East Bengal on January 21), so there used to be some rustiness in his game early on. I don’t blame him, he recovered neatly later in the tournament.”
He praised NEROCA FC scorer Subhash Singh, who used to be the Hero of the Match, saying, “He is a very good player and used to be unbelievable these days. He used to be with us a few years back (on loan from Mumbai City) earlier than we parted techniques as he suffered an harm.”
