JOSE MOLINA – HALF-TIME CHANGES WERE TACTICAL

The 46 year old Spaniard have one’s say that his team has improved their performance in the second half.

In last night match Atletico De Kolkata collect a decisive point from Mumbai FC home soil, and they picked an away point away from home, they scored an equalizer goal in the second half.

The former Villarreal coach has recognize that his team didn’t perform according to the plan in the first half,but in the second half they manage to play as per the plan.

We didn’t play very well in the opening 45 minutes. The performance was not good. They (Mumbai City) scored one goal and had two-or-three clear chances to score and they didn’t. At half-time, we were talking about the need to improve because we didn’t play well and despite them having chances, we were still down only 1-0.

We fought in the next 45 minutes and tried to win. The second half was a really good performance. We were the better team after the break. We deserved at least a point. I believe it was a game of one half to each team. It was a fair result,” he opined.

Molina give off to substitute Iain Hume, who scored a hat trick against them the Mumbai FC,and the Bikramjit Singh who was booked during the match.

“It was tactical change as I was not happy with the performance in the first 45 minutes. We tried to change something and play in a different formation. I think the players did a good job, we dominated and deserved a point,” he mentioned.

The Portuguese Helder Postiga the marquee player was got injured in their second match and the Spaniard is back in argument for start in their next game against FC goa.

“Postiga was injured and hence, didn’t play. (When will he be back) As soon as possible. Hopefully we can use him against Goa. But we will see as the doctor and the physiotherapist are working. We will see,”:Molina.
