Kerala Blasters’ new coach David Katala has held his first press conference. His aim is to instil a sense of optimism in the players, who were disappointed by their poor performances last season. “The mentality of the players has to change, if they think about the defeats, it will affect the upcoming matches,” said Katala.
Katala, who has been watching the ISL matches, said that the league is growing. He added that the quality of the league is improving. Fans are eager to see how Katala will lead the team in the next ISL season.
Catala’s main aim is to strengthen the team’s defence. “We are going to build a solid defence,” he says. “We will turn the team into a compact and strong defence.” His aim is to create a team that opponents cannot score goals against.
But he reminds us that it is not just about defence, it is also about attack. “You can’t win a game without scoring goals,” added Catala. “You have to find a balance between defence and attack.” He also says it is important to understand your players’ abilities and make the right decisions.
Katala’s plans give Blasters fans great hope. We can look forward to a team with a strong defence and attack. The Blasters will certainly be a nightmare for their opponents from now on.
