Our primary objective is to give a good testament of ourselves- Floyd Pinto
The Indian Arrows head coach was speaking after what has been a difficult start to the season for his team.
The road in the Hero I-League for AIFF’s development side the Indian Arrows has been tough. With one win and one draw from seven matches, the young colts, despite showcasing their attacking skills, have fallen prey to complacency thus suffering losses.
Not willing to read much into the results, Floyd Pinto, Head Coach Indian Arrows maintained that the primary objective is to “give a good account on the field.”
“Our primary objective is to give a good testament of ourselves in the matches which we play, and prove that we are on the same page as the opponents. We never back down. We play with the best of our abilities in each and every match,” Pinto stated.
“All throughout this season we have showed our attacking capabilities but have lacked the finishing in front of goal,” he added. “We are a developing side. We have been playing with a lot of permutations and combinations keeping in mind the development of each and every player.”
Against Aizawl FC in their last home match which ended in a 0-0 draw, the Arrows were unlucky not to surge into the lead in the second-half when Boris Singh’ curler hit the crossbar.
