I-League 2022: Kenkre FC vs NEROCA FC LIVE- On the other hand, NEROCA FC has just come from their first loss in the campaign and is regrouping themselves to move on and get back to winning ways. Talking about their previous performance, head coach W. Khogen Singh explained, “We lacked in concentration in the first half, and with a young squad which lacked game time, we conceded two goals in 30 minutes.”
“We need to focus on our defence and mainly on long balls, the aerial balls, and in the next match, we’ll improve and pick up from where we left,” he added.
Discussing their opponents, Singh said, “Their style of play is from the back, and they put long balls. So we need to look after this and press high as well as overcome their defensive lines. I think it should be a very good game and a tough game for us also against a very good side.”
