Chennaiyin FC head coach Bozidar Bandovic on losing Chhangte: " I think his contract should have been done a long time ago, not to wait. I talked to him many times, he's a good player. And I told him that he needs to stay in the club, this club needs to be built on him. So he told me that a club has offered him a contract, and his decision was to leave the club at the end of the year after his contract is finished and to go to Mumbai. And after that, we talked many times and he called me and we had meetings and he told me that he wants to leave, which would be better for his future." SC East Bengal head coach Mario Rivera on motivating the team after the Derby loss: "If we have to motivate the players after playing a very good match, it is easy. We did a lot of things well. You just need to remind the players of all the things we did well. They know we are improving everyday." |
7:07pm- Stat!!
Indian defender Reagan Singh, on the bech for the match, can make his 100th appearance in the ISL. The side-back will become the 10th overall and the ninth Indian footballer to achieve the feat.
6:48pm- Key player for each team!!
Hira Mondal (SC East Bengal): Potentially an ‘Emerging Player of the Season’ contender, the side-back has gone from strength to strength as the season progressed. Despite the loss to ATK Mohun Bagan in the previous game, the footballer was proactive in his defensive roles. Overall, in 12 matches, the defender has made 38 tackles, 26 interceptions, 48 clearances and 30 blocks in the season. The team needs his service against a disciplined Chennaiyin FC side. Vladimir Koman (Chennaiyin FC): The midfield general for Chennaiyin FC has been rock solid in the Hero ISL 2021-22. With 627 passes in 12 matches at a rate of over 50 per game, the Hungarian footballer has been pulling the strings for his club ever since his arrival, going along with three goals and an assist. Propelling his game to the next level would be of utmost priority right now, as Chennaiyin FC need him to deliver the goods and make their passage to a top-four finish. |

MATCH PREVIEW
SC East Bengal will resume the hunt for its second win of Indian Super League (ISL) season when it takes on Chennaiyin FC at the Tilak Maidan Stadium on Wednesday.

The team’s new Spanish coach Mario Rivera sought to prepare the team keeping the positives of the derby encounter, which his side lost conceding three goals in the second-half added time.
“For professional teams, when you lose a match, you have to keep the good things, eliminate the bad things and start from scratch in the next match. It will be nothing different for us,” Rivera sought to set the team in the right frame of mind before the next match. Having technically lost the chance to make it to the play-offs, Rivera’s side (on nine points from 14 matches) will now be looking to improve its position in the league standings.

For visitor Chennaiyin FC, which is now placed eighth in the table (18 points from 13), a win will get the team back in the top-four. This will be the foremost consideration for the side as it looks to brush aside the 0-3 loss against Bengaluru FC in the previous match. Then there was the news of Lallianzuala Chhangte moving to Mumbai City FC on loan.
Head coach Bozidar Bandovic while ruing the loss of the key winger said the team will do well with the available resources. “I always believed in the team and the next seven games are going to be tough. Our next game is very important. As I said before, it is going to be a big success if we play in the top-four,” Bandovic said.
