Hyderabad FC Head Coach Optimistic Ahead of Crucial Clash Against Punjab FC

Hyderabad FC under the tutelage of head coach Thangboi Singto is gearing up to face Punjab FC with renewed optimism. Despite their winless streak in the ISL 2023–24 season, the team’s young Indian players have displayed grit and determination on the pitch. Placed at the bottom of the points table with only four draws in 16 matches, Hyderabad FC faces a challenging task ahead.

Singto acknowledged Punjab FC’s offensive prowess highlighted by foreign players like Wilmar Jordan Gil, Madih Talal, Luka Majcen, and Juan Mera. He emphasized the need for his players to remain focused and vigilant throughout the upcoming match. The pre-match press conference saw Singto praising Punjab FC’s performance in the league and the impact their foreign contingent has made.

Hyderabad FC has seen young talents like Mark Zothanpuia, Abdul Rabeeh AK, and Alex Saji gaining valuable experience in the ISL. Singto aims to keep his squad fresh amidst a busy schedule, hoping that their newfound approach and understanding of the team dynamics will translate into positive results on the field.

Struggling to meet performance standards set in previous seasons, Hyderabad FC recently broke a goal drought spanning six games with Ramhlunchhunga’s first ISL goal against Bengaluru FC. Singto expressed satisfaction at finally finding the back of the net and highlighted the team’s resilience against tough opponents.

Ahead of the clash with Punjab FC, captain Joao Victor and defender Alex Saji, both returning from match suspensions, add depth to the squad. Singto lauded the young players’ contributions and their hunger to succeed, anticipating a stronger display in the upcoming fixture.

In press interactions, forward Ramhlunchhunga exuded confidence after scoring his maiden ISL goal, emphasizing the team’s collective desire to prove themselves and secure victories. With a youthful and energetic squad, Hyderabad FC is poised to give their all to achieve their objectives in the challenging ISL season.
