Super Cup: Clifford Miranda Praises Players’ Attitude As Chennaiyin FC Prepare For East Bengal Test
Up against a full-strength Mohun Bagan side, an all-Indian Chennaiyin outfit went toe-to-toe with their opponents for large parts of the contest on a rain-soaked Fatorda pitch. Head coach Clifford Miranda expressed his pride in the team’s effort during their first competitive outing in five months and emphasised the importance of building on that performance ahead of the crucial East Bengal clash.
“We did well against Mohun Bagan, despite not having too many training sessions. The players’ attitude has been great, right from day one and into the match. They did not get bogged down by the challenges and played fearlessly. We did commit some mistakes, but that is bound to happen since we have only been in training for 12 days. They (the players) are trying to understand what I want from them, but it’s working day in, day out, week in week out, to get where we want to be,” Miranda said.
