While addressing the media on Saturday during a pre-match press conference, the experienced Scotsman termed Odisha a very good side and asked his men to play to their full potential to secure a win. \u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that they\u2019re a very good side. But that being said, we know if we were best, it\u2019s a game we can win. We\u2019re back at home, which is great.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe know that performance-wise there have been some good aspects of that (match against Mumbai City and East Bengal), but ultimately, in football people just look at results which you need to get if you want to attain success,\u201d Coyle told the media.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Marina Machans are set to play four of their remaining six matches at home as the competition gets more intense with the league approaching its business end. \u201cWhat we have to do is certainly be more clinical because we create big chances in every game. But that being said, for where we are just now, we want to be winning, we can do that. So four games at home and two away, all games capable of winning because we\u2019ve shown good performances. But what we need is that clinical edge to take the chances,\u201d he further added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Commenting on Chennaiyin\u2019s hopes of making it to the Top-6, goalkeeper Debjit Majumder, who has achieved three clean sheets and 36 saves this season, said: \u201cIf we win two games, I think we can push ourselves in there and be in a much better position and we have to take advantage of our four home matches now. \u201cWe\u2019ve conceded goals because of small mistakes, defensive mistakes which we\u2019re trying to correct every day in training and the preparation remains the same as always.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
When asked about the team\u2019s approach for the remaining matches, Coyle added: \u201cI think for us it\u2019s the first game that comes which is Odisha. When we\u2019re at our very best, we\u2019ve shown we can win games and that\u2019s what we have to do. It\u2019s one game at a time. But we know if we can come up with a big performance and win that game against Odisha, it will lead us into a game against Hyderabad. So there are real opportunities moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In 19 matches played between the two teams, Odisha FC have won eight, Chennaiyin claimed three and eight matches ended in a draw.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/03\/isl-2023-24-head-coach-owen-coyle-expects-clinical-show-from-chennaiyin-as-they-face-odisha-test.jpg", "alt_img": "ISL 2023-24: Head coach Owen Coyle expects clinical show from Chennaiyin as they face Odisha test", "alt_title": "ISL 2023-24: Head coach Owen Coyle expects clinical show from Chennaiyin as they face Odisha test", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "ISL 2023-24: Head Coach Owen Coyle Expects Clinical Show From Chennaiyin As They Face Odisha Test On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "ISL 2023-24: Head Coach Owen Coyle Expects Clinical Show From Chennaiyin As They Face Odisha Test, Indian Super League: Chennaiyin FC are expected to face a tough challenge from table-toppers Odisha FC when they lock horns.", "seo_keywords": "Owen Coyle, Indian Super League, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Chennaiyin FC, Odisha FC, But Chennaiyin, Mumbai City, East Bengal, The Marina Machans, Debjit Majumder", "tag": "", "tagging": "Owen Coyle, Indian Super League, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Chennaiyin FC, Odisha FC, But Chennaiyin, Mumbai City, East Bengal, The Marina Machans, Debjit Majumder", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "isl-2023-24-head-coach-owen-coyle-expects-clinical-show-from-chennaiyin-as-they-face-odisha-test", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "765", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-03-02 18:18:03", "updated": "2024-03-02 18:18:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Owen Coyle, Indian Super League, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Chennaiyin FC, Odisha FC, But Chennaiyin, Mumbai City, East Bengal, The Marina Machans, Debjit Majumder", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-03-02 18:18:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "football", "cnmid": "873806", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/isl-2023-24-head-coach-owen-coyle-expects-clinical-show-from-chennaiyin-as-they-face-odisha-test-13682" }
