Reflecting on the upcoming match, Coyle emphasised the importance of addressing key areas to secure a result. \"We go to Goa to try and win the game. We know what their aspirations are, but equally we know our own. We have to show that character, that mentality that we showed last season\u2013and we\u2019re capable of doing it. When we get a full fit and healthy squad, we can stand toe-to-toe with the best, and from there on it\u2019s about the continuity, the consistency of selection, and ultimately, taking our chances.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIn terms of defenders, I have never known a spell when you have so many missing or, when you\u2019re in a game, they have to come out. That\u2019s why it was important to bring Pritam (Kotal) in, who has been an outstanding player all his career, been a leader,\u201d the CFC head coach added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s important to have continuity, that consistency of selection. So, for us, it\u2019s important to make sure we\u2019re solid against the ball, especially now with Pritam coming in because we know we\u2019re creating chances,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chennaiyin have continued strengthening the squad amid the challenges, with Coyle confirming the signing of Maheson Singh Tongbram following Pritam Kotal\u2019s arrival last weekend, with both in the squad for the Goa trip. Maheson, a talented defensive midfielder from Manipur, has been a standout in India\u2019s age-group teams, playing a key role in the U-15 squad\u2019s 2019 SAFF U-15 Championship triumph and later contributing to the U-20 team\u2019s 2022 SAFF U-20 Championship victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Coyle also confirmed the club is actively on the lookout for more quality signings after Maheson but conceded January is a difficult month to add players.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Joining Coyle at the press conference was one of Chennaiyin\u2019s new additions, Pritam Kotal, who debuted against his former side Mohun Bagan on Tuesday and helped keep a clean sheet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I feel delighted to be here There is a top group at Chennaiyin and over the last two days, training with the team, playing with them, communicating with them, everything has been positive. There is a good attitude in the dressing room, but we need to improve every day and face what is to come,\u201d Kotal said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
