Every shot went in

Kiko Ramirez felt that everything their opponent tried on Tuesday night, worked out for them against his side. “Every shot of the other team went inside the net. What can we say?” he began.

Preparation for the next match

The loss meant that Odisha FC are winless in their last four matches. However, the Spaniard emphasized that they will be focusing on the upcoming match and not the previous results.

Impact on top four aspirations

On being asked about how this recent string of bad results will impact the Juggernauts’ playoff chances, the tactician replied, “It affects now our mood and how we feel (sic). But the season is long. The things that happen again in the pitch. Some things that are happening match after match, these things affect us,” he quipped.

“Today as a coach, we did bad and we lose 6-1. But there are other people inside the pitch that didn’t work properly. That’s the reality but we lost 6-1," Kiko Ramirez concluded.
