Liston Colaco, Md Yasir need to keep head down and work hard, feels Thangboi Singto

The Hyderabad FC assistant coach also hoped that his side will score more goals and win matches in the near future.

A highly contested game against Jamshedpur FC in the Indian Super League on Tuesday night resulted in Hyderabad FC settling for one point. Aridane Santana scored for the Nizams whereas Stephen Eze scored for the Men of Steel. Following the game, Hyderabad FC assistant coach Thangboi Singto spoke in the post-match press conference.

“It was always going to be tough against Jamshedpur. We played with three experienced foreigners and they played with five but saying that the Indian players who played today, we are very proud of them. We are happy that tactically our plan worked but at the end Jamshedpur came back strong," he began.

Jamshedpur FC equalized in the 85th minutes into the game against Hyderabad FC. Speaking on the late equalizer, Thangboi Singto said, “We lost two points, we would have liked to have three points but we knew it was going to be tough against that manager who keeps on motivating the players from the sidelines.”

Thangboi Singto also revealed that he believes his side needs to improve their attack. "We need to score goals, as simple as that, but that is not easy. Last year Valskis was the top scorer but today the plan worked against him,” he stressed.

“Aridane is our main guy but other players need to score. It’s a big platform for any young Indian player to perform whenever they get their chances. Going forward, hopefully we can score more goals and win matches."
