Khalid Jamil outlines this player as a 'team man' after Mohammedan SC victory

Javier Siverio has scored six goals for the Red Miners so far.

Khalid Jamil’s Jamshedpur FC, reeling from three consecutive demoralizing defeats against Mohun Bagan Supergiant, Chennaiyin FC, and NorthEast United FC, staged a remarkable turnaround with a commanding victory over Mohammedan SC in their latest fixture.

Having conceded a staggering 13 goals across those three matches, Khalid Jamil’s side found themselves in a precarious position, with their aspirations of claiming the ISL Shield hanging by a thread. However, the team showcased resilience and determination, leaving no stone unturned to reignite their campaign with a spirited performance.

Khalid Jamil’s thoughts

Head coach Khalid Jamil expressed immense satisfaction following the victory, emphasizing the significance of this result as a turning point for the team. Jamil also lavished praise on Javier Siverio, Jamshedpur FC’s prolific No. 9 from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, who played a decisive role in the match.

Siverio’s dynamic presence in the attack has been a beacon of hope for the Red Miners, and Jamil highlighted his importance in the team’s resurgence.

Coach Khalid Jamil was elated to see Javier Siverio’s name on the scoresheet in Jamshedpur FC’s crucial victory over Mohammedan Sporting Club. Jamil heaped praise on the Spanish striker, hailing him as one of the hardest-working players in the squad and a consummate team player. Khalid Jamil stated, “Siverio is a team man. He always works very hard in those training sessions. I am so glad to see his name on the scoresheet tonight.”

This goal came as a much-needed breakthrough for Siverio, especially when Jamshedpur’s offensive capabilities had been under scrutiny, with the team recording one of the lowest goal tallies in the tournament despite being level on points with third-placed Odisha FC.

Jamil expressed optimism that this moment of individual brilliance would inject Siverio with renewed confidence, particularly ahead of their pivotal clash against Punjab FC in less than two weeks. The coach firmly believes that Siverio’s resurgence could be instrumental in driving the Red Miners forward in their quest for silverware.

Siverio’s pedigree is undeniable, having honed his skills at clubs like Las Palmas and Racing Santander before making a mark in Indian football. Upon his arrival in India, he quickly established himself as a winner, securing the Indian Super League title with Hyderabad FC and lifting the Super Cup during a brief but impactful stint with East Bengal.

Now, as a key figure in Jamshedpur FC’s lineup, Siverio is eager to maintain his flawless record of winning trophies with every club he has represented in India. His determination to help the Red Miners clinch silverware this season underscores his value as a critical asset to the team.

Javier Siverio Toro has endured a challenging season, making nine appearances for Jamshedpur FC and contributing just two goals. With a passing accuracy of 61% and an average of 15 passes per game, his influence has been relatively muted. His 51 duels and a goal conversion rate of 14.29% reflect a player striving to find his rhythm, but the lack of clinical finishing has been a concern.

However, his goal against Mohammedan FC in the recent fixture could be a turning point, reigniting his confidence and setting the stage for a potential resurgence.

At a time when Jamshedpur FC is grappling with Jordan Murray’s persistent fitness concerns, Siverio is now tasked with stepping up and shouldering the attacking responsibilities.

Coach Khalid Jamil will undoubtedly hope Siverio can capitalize on this momentum and become a consistent contributor in front of goal.

The Red Miners’ ambitions this season hinge on their ability to find reliable goal-scoring options, and Siverio has the opportunity to rise to the occasion and cement his place as a key player in the team’s pursuit of success.
