ISL 2022: Ivan Vukomanovic unmoved despite 0-1 loss- “You know, since we started, we will never talk about the top four and the circumstances and the situation that we are now, we have the chance to be in. We must never forget that. In the last year we were the team second from bottom, and now we are coming from far away. We have so many players going through the great development phases, speaking about domestic players and the foreigner squad, bringing something extra,” he added.
