Opening up about the same, goalkeeper Phurba Lachenpa believes it has been a good season so far for the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe season so far has been good for us, considering all the things that have happened in the past few months, including the change in head coach. We have had a few injuries and changes in personnel also, but we are still fighting for the top spot. And now we have to finish it with silverware,\u201d said Lachenpa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With seven clean sheets in the 15 games, he has played in ISL so far, Lachenpa has been one of the mainstays in the Mumbai City FC line-up. And according to him, every game from now onwards is like a final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cEach game is very important for us now in the season, there are very few left, and it is very tight at the top of the table. There are three-four teams fighting for the top spot. As one of the top clubs in India, we have a certain set of expectations for ourselves. So, going to the match, we have put our best foot forward, and try to win all the games. These are the things that keep us motivated and help us stay motivated to keep fighting till the end,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAt Mumbai City FC the standards are very high, and we need to win every game.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After the game against NorthEast United FC on March 12, at the Mumbai Football Arena, the Islanders have three more games to play in the remainder of the ISL season, with Hyderabad FC, Odisha FC (Home) and Mohun Bagan as opponents, respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the demanding stretch ahead, facing formidable contenders, Lachenpa recognises a need beyond mere skill\u2014a unity of purpose to propel the team forward.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe have only a few games left, and now it is all about the mental strength and how far we can push ourselves. And if we keep ourselves mentally strong and keep pushing till the final whistle, I think our momentum will help us progress, and we can hopefully end the season with silverware,\u201d he signed off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/03\/isl-2023-24-mental-strength-will-be-key-in-final-weeks-of-season-believes-mumbai-citys-phurba-lachenpa.jpg", "alt_img": "ISL 2023-24: Mental strength will be key in final weeks of season, believes Mumbai City's Phurba Lac", "alt_title": "ISL 2023-24: Mental strength will be key in final weeks of season, believes Mumbai City's Phurba Lac", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "ISL 2023-24: Mental Strength Will Be Key In Final Weeks Of Season, Believes Mumbai City's Phurba Lachenpa On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "ISL 2023-24: Mental Strength Will Be Key In Final Weeks Of Season, Believes Mumbai City's Phurba Lachenpa, The Indian Super League: The Indian Super League\u2019s 10th season is turning the corner before the home stretch, and holders.", "seo_keywords": "Mumbai City, Phurba Lachenpa, Indian Super League, The Indian Super League, League Winners Shield, Mumbai City FC, The Islanders, At Mumbai City FC, NorthEast United FC, Mumbai Football Arena, Hyderabad FC, Odisha FC, Mohun Bagan", "tag": "", "tagging": "Mumbai City, Phurba Lachenpa, Indian Super League, The Indian Super League, League Winners Shield, Mumbai City FC, The Islanders, At Mumbai City FC, NorthEast United FC, Mumbai Football Arena, Hyderabad FC, Odisha FC, Mohun Bagan", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "isl-2023-24-mental-strength-will-be-key-in-final-weeks-of-season-believes-mumbai-citys-phurba-lachenpa", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "741", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-03-12 18:20:02", "updated": "2024-03-12 18:20:02", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Mumbai City, Phurba Lachenpa, Indian Super League, The Indian Super League, League Winners Shield, Mumbai City FC, The Islanders, At Mumbai City FC, NorthEast United FC, Mumbai Football Arena, Hyderabad FC, Odisha FC, Mohun Bagan", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-03-12 18:20:02", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "football", "cnmid": "878016", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/isl-2023-24-mental-strength-will-be-key-in-final-weeks-of-season-believes-mumbai-citys-phurba-lachenpa-13942" }
