On Thursday, NorthEast United FC will play the Mariners at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata in matchweek 6 of the Hero Indian Super League (ISL). ATK Mohun Bagan’s head coach Juan Ferrando is wary of their recent form.
The Highlanders are in last place after five straight losses. ATK Mohun Bagan is sixth with seven points and has only lost once this year. Ferrando, who attended the formal pre-match press conference with defender Subhasish Bose, stressed his squad should be proactive against NEUFC despite their prior performance.
Ferrando’s pre-game press conference: How is North East United FC doing? NorthEast United FC had two to three chances to win their last match against Kerala Blasters FC. Results don’t reflect performance on the field.
NorthEast United FC features distinct offensive and defensive strategies. Their terrible luck explains their results. They’re dangerous. They can move without points. Their players are good. They also have one plan.

Our home game against NorthEast United FC is essential. We expect trouble. I value mindset the most. It’s hard to travel back from Mumbai after a game, so we need to make sure everyone is ready, focused, and comfortable in Kolkata.
Just a day to prepare the crew I think Thursday’s team is ready. We must play aggressively because the three points matter. This puts us closer to the top. It will be a tough contest, but the lads have been working hard. I’m delighted we play at home because the supporters help the players.
How are the team’s recent performances? The team has played well. We didn’t reach the goal. It’s bad when the team works well but you don’t succeed. I think the team has been consistent. Success has boosted our confidence. I’m happy for the team except for one game (Chennaiyin FC). Struggling in one game is natural.
Poor grades lower your confidence. After playing poorly against Chennaiyin FC, the team struggled. I value thought over strength (performance). Keep working since the crew is more assured. Be ambitious now. Help the team. Score three points in every game.
Do you think your Indian players would be more comfortable in a 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 formation than the 3-5-2? Systems don’t matter. Football’s systems are another example. Football values time and space. I prefer players who know when to find gaps. Systems are not crucial.
Will you shuffle your starting eleven to give newcomers a chance?

I value team support the most. We’ll know after training. We’ll modify and replace it. Even the substitutes are trying. Everyone’s effort produced the result. All 27 players want to start. We’ll see. We can choose the game afterwards. Our mentality is threefold. All players must be ambitious. We need them to play aggressively.
Are you injured? Injury-free. Pogba’s recuperation continues. This is why we defend him. The remaining players are ready. Since everyone’s healthy, I’m delighted that some are tired.
Seasonal goals? We think big. Every game is our goal. ATK Mohun Bagan Large club. You can play in the AFC Champions League if you finish first. Incredible competition. Athletes love competing abroad. The club’s amazing. Every game must be fought for our dream. but focus on the present. NorthEast United FC is the current matchup; the future is unknown.
