Speaking to the media in Chennai on Sunday, head coach Owen Coyle addressed the reverse fixture and laid out what the team needs to do to finish the season strongly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWhat happened has no reflection on what\u2019s to come. The game is on its own. We have to go and win the game, it\u2019s as simple as that. We have to defend very well against a good Bengaluru side. We know the quality they have. But, we have been playing well lately and we want to make sure we win again. If we do, it opens up possibilities,\u201d Coyle said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe know when we are at our best we can win games. We have already shown away from home. We went to Odisha, NorthEast, Jamshedpur, East Bengal and won. We\u2019re capable of winning at big venues, and that\u2019s what we need to do again,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chennaiyin are fifth in the away table this season, winning four and drawing two games on the road. As the Marina Machans travel to Bengaluru, coach Coyle touched on the team\u2019s form on the road and thanked the fans for their constant support.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe last away game, I am hoping it\u2019s the same as the first away game (vs Odisha), which was a win. Our away form in terms of the league has been great. We haven\u2019t done well at home and that has hurt us. But, we want to finish strong, we need to win at Bengaluru to keep everything alive. We want to go there, be positive, and look to win a tough game,\u201d Coyle said. \u201cTo those fans who have travelled to different games, thank you for that. We love that support and we will do our very best to win, finish strong on the road, and set us up for the two remaining home games.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

When quizzed about his preferred position, Irfan claimed he is comfortable anywhere on the pitch and extended his gratitude toward Coyle for showing confidence in him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI am very thankful to the coach for the confidence he has given me this season. I am very happy. I don\u2019t have a preferred position, I just want to play,\u201d Irfan said, before adding that he wishes to finish the season strongly with Chennaiyin and then focus on the national team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
