However, with the head-to-head evenly tied at two wins each, there is all to play for at the Salt Lake Stadium.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThe boys are keen to get playing again. We know how hard they worked during the Kerala (Blasters) game. We know now, which we knew at the time, too, that it was never a red card (for Wilmar Jordan Gil). It\u2019s happened, it\u2019s not the first time. But, the bottom line is we, as a group, need to start winning games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"We need to start doing better. If we don\u2019t, we leave ourselves open to criticism, and that\u2019s only fair. That\u2019s the nature of football. The only people who can change that is us,\u201d Coyle told the media at the press conference in Chennai on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWe have players good enough to go and win games, and that\u2019s what we need to start doing. You don\u2019t ever like losing a rivalry game, but we have to get up and running again, look to finish strongly, and that starts at East Bengal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Joining Coyle was goalkeeper Mohammad Nawaz, who underlined that the team is together and is looking forward to the matches ahead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWhatever happened, it\u2019s already done. We have a few matches left, so what we can do is go match by match and give our best. That\u2019s in our hands. We have played well, but we have gotten punished for even one mistake across the 90 minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"We are lacking a little bit of luck. As a team, we are together. We will give our best (against East Bengal) and we\u2019re looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Coyle augmented Nawaz\u2019s words by reiterating that the team\u2019s focus remains as strong as ever, especially with a Super Cup and AFC spots still to play for.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really important, as Nawaz said, that we start well against East Bengal, we look to get that run going to end the season. There\u2019s a Super Cup to play for, with an AFC spot at stake. Nobody has given anything up yet,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Coyle augmented Nawaz\u2019s words by reiterating that the team\u2019s focus remains as strong as ever, especially with a Super Cup and AFC spots still to play for.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
