ISL: Chennaiyin FC Eye To 'finish Strong' Ahead Of Home Tie Against Punjab FC, Says Coyle
The Marina Machans put a difficult run behind them by getting back to winning ways in their previous match against East Bengal FC. The chance to extend that run and turn it into a final push toward the playoff will also bring the opportunity to requite their early season 3-2 defeat against Punjab, a team which is a spot and three points ahead of Chennaiyin in the league table.
Speaking about his team’s playoff hopes in his pre-match press conference in Chennai, head coach Owen Coyle said, “You’re motivated for every game you play. What we have to recognise is that had we replicated our away form with our home form, which we should have, we’d already be in those playoff positions. But, we want to finish strong. We have three home games to finish the season, we want to take them one at a time and make sure we reproduce the performance we gave last week.”
